I took my Nclex yesterday and got all 205 questions can someone please tell me what that means for me? I took the Nclex twice before already and the first time I took it, it stopped at 85 questions the second time it stopped at 205, I failed both times. My nerves were so bad and I tried so hard, I felt like I was guessing at the questions though. I cried so hard after I walked out of there. Please someone help give me some type of insight on this dreadful exam. I feel like I just want to break down, I don't even want to do the quick results this time either. #Feeling down, and freaking out..

I feel for you, the limbo of wondering is terrible! Unfortunately there are no answers but I will tell you that two fellow students tested a few weeks ago, one got 215 and the other got 265Q, both passed.
I know it's easier said than done, but failing previously does not mean you will fail again. I'm sure you worked hard since then to prepare yourself, give yourself some credit!
It's frustrating but there is nothing anyone here can say and nothing you will read that will give you comfort until you learn that you passed. Trust me, I know. I took my test on Saturday and got 80 questions and didn't feel good about it at all. I spent hours researching "the numbers" and questioning friends. I almost tried the PVT a few times too, but personally it felt like false comfort that would increase my anxiety so I didn't.
Anyway, I was exhausted and wasting my time, and it was only increasing my fears. So I prayed, and reminded myself that I gave it my all.
Then I did my best to lose myself in life (walking the dog, cleaning the house so badly neglected from years of school and catching up with neglected friends) instead of checking results and what-iffing.
At first it was hard but the next thing I knew, I whole day had passed and I hadn't thought of NCLEX once!
I know we're all different but I just went through it and I hope something I learned might save you a little stress.
I'll pray for you, let me know how you do! Does your state have 48H quick results?
