Idk about NCLEX

Published

I took the exam this morning at 8am. There were issues scanning my palm vein before entering the testing room and I had to remove my necklace and watch, which took me off guard. I was prepared to sit in that chair at the computer at least more than 2 hours, but my exam stopped at 78 questions. I pretty much felt like the rest of you, worried, anxious, and in utter disbelief. :o

I had at least 10- 15 SATA, 1 calculation, one put into order, and plenty of priority questions. Several med questions were on the exam. Did anyone only have the generic name and no brand name for the med questions????

I feel like I failed. But I told myself if I do have to retake, just do it and don't ponder what I should of or could of done.

I'm taking it tomorrow but from a friend who took it earlier this week (and previous poster on another thread) they said to do the PVT couple hours after the exam, and again at 24h. If you get the good pop up twice there is a very good chance you passed. It's not guarantee, but the odds are in your favor. They also told me it's normal to feel like you left failing, and I know I will feel that way tomorrow. I'm just going to give it my all cause what I know is what I know at this point! :) Best of luck to you!

Test stopping at 78 questions means one of 2 things. Either you did extremely well or you did extremely bad on the test. The computer decided that you were competent at 78 questions or decided that you answered too many questions wrong that you would not be competent regardless of the number of questions. What was your path to get to NCLEX? If you did well (As and Bs) in a quality nursing school program (NCLEX pass rate >90%) and study many questions for several weeks, then you passed.

NCLEX is now using generic names for drugs. Vary few will be trade name per Kaplan.
