Took the exam on the 29th...i prayed earnestly all through-out the exam...before i took it i also thanked God for bringing me this far...I stopped at 75, had 2-3 SATA, lots of phrama, prioritization, infection control, patient teaching, and no math. I left the testing center so dazed and broken...i really felt stupid when the computer stopped at 75. Its like it let me finish without putting up a fight...
Most of the questions...im not familiar with...some drugs ive never heard in all my life...and when i know what the question's asking it always comes down to 2 answer choices that both sounded correct...
When i got home i cried and cried..i couldnt eat, i couldnt sleep...its like i prepared and worked hard for this thing and in less than 2 hours its like i didnt do any studying at all.
People keep telling me to hang on and keep the faith...i know, i trust God, but with the way i did the chance of passing is slim to none...Ive been checking the CA BON website and couldnt find my name...ive checked this forum for others who passed and they found out that they did like 2-3 days after they took the test...
Im really devastated...felt like Ive no more face to show especially my family who suppored me through this ordeal...i cant even look them in the eye...
I know this is not the end of the world...i just want to ventilate...im not giving up..ill start studying again soon...
But thank you to all of you who prayed, this site has been a big help especially the random fact throwing...for a foreign educated nurse like me, that's a very big help...
Yes im doing my best to distract myself..THank you all!
Im pretty sure i failed, but i think i can handle it well now...i cry less and less as days pass...

I know i can always take it again...and i know its not the end of the world...what hurts me is the part that i worked hard for it and nothing happened...T_T
I was sure I failed too. I had 265 Q, and felt like I guessed on pretty much all of them. I waited 48hrs for the quick results and found out I passed. I didn't believe it. I thought there was no way i passed that. So, hang in there. 48 hrs. was torture enough for me. You are stronger than I to wait longer. I took my exam on the 29th too.

California doesnt have quickresults unfortunately..but even if it does its still gonna be the worst 48 hours of my life...
This test is a nightmare for everyone. How people pass is beyond there description. I just want to say that I went the major depression when I found out I didn't pass the first time. I was pretty much a vegetable, but finally after the guilt phase, you will be able to get through it again. I'm still trying to figure out myself how to approach the exam, but think like this, you will get this exam, even if you have to take it more than once. I've been through it 3 times now, and although I didnt pass, I feel more confident I'm getting closer each time. This is truly a test that plays tricks on you. Hang in there. :) You are going to do great!

I feel you...I took the exam last week and still no result ( CA bon ).As the days goes I am more convinced that I failed.I've also read from this site that some got their result earlier than 10 days.I'm on my 7th day today.I also stopped @ 75. 1 SATA and 1 med cal.
