first let me say that i have always been very good at test taking and school work. i made it through a tough lpn program here and rarely had to study. so, of course i felt ready for the nclex today.
the test shut off at 85 but what is crazy is that the questions seemed to be nothing like what we learned in school. all of the hard material i learned in school, none of it was there. and the way the questions were worded, i felt so dumb.
and those questions that ask you to select all that apply!!!!
it was nothing like i expected, and i am so downhearted. i feel ripped off somehow. i felt so prepared and now i think a monkey could have sat for me and i would have just the same chances.
honestly, i don't see how 85% pass the first time. i felt totally lost. and it's not because i'm not smart, i did great in school, i've done great on the tests prior to this. oh gosh, i am so disappointed.
