I took the NCLEX Today

I'm in Rochester, NY and I took the NCLEX today. I prayed that the computer would shut off at 75, but when it did I thought I'd have a nervous breakdown!!! I used Kaplan to study and found the practice questions to be more difficult than those on the test. Although there were none of the exact same questions that were on any of practice test I did, much of the content was the same. I'm going CRAZY because I found that the test was not as difficult as I thought it would be, so I'm scared I didn't pass it!!!

Do you guys think that the proctors monitoring the test know how you did immediately after the test is over or is everything computerized and they don't have access to the information? The reason I ask is a few of my friends who have taken the test and passed this summer, were told something along the lines of "Don't worry, everything will be fine", by the proctor. Let me know what you think or what your experiences have been. My proctor just said "Good Luck to you", which made me nervous. I'm sure part of this was me just being nervous

NCLEX to me was actually easy. I felt the same, this is WAY to easy to be a passing thing. Yes I passed

No the proctors know nothing about your grade. Don't worry about that. You were looking for someone to give you a clue.

Thanks Jen, you're right. I projected my nervousness onto the proctor and her "lack of a reaction" to me. She could have said "Congratulations you passed" and I probably wouldn't have believed her. The only thing I'm sure of right now is that it is going to be a looooong 48 hours waiting for my results.

When the procter escorted me out of the room she said " God, I've never had anyone finish so quickly and pass, but if you're confident I guess its ok." UGH!!!!! I never felt so nauseated in my life. I just wanted to die and not to mention give her a piece of my mind. I passed so dont worry about it. I dont think the procters know if you passed of failed.
