HI everyone!

I know I haven't posted much on this site. But I have been coming here constantly and your words of encouragement via other posts have really helped alot.

I just took my NCLEX today and I felt like I was held in front of a firing squad. My test stopped at 75 questions and it took me 6 hours.

I know a lot of people pass at 75 questions but a lot of people also fail.

The reason why I am freaking out is my last 6 questions were all medication questions. I know that I missed the last two questions FOR SURE, because those are the only questions I remember.

I heard that medication questions are considered non-passing questions.

When I walked out of that room I had a full blown panic attack and now all I can do is cry. I don't know what to do or what to think. I feel totally numb. I don't think I passed.

:cry:

And to top it all off I won't know for awhile because my school hasn't sent out my transcripts yet!

This waiting game is really going to suck!

The test seems to have that effect on people. The waiting was the worst 48 hours. I was very well prepared, but I thought I failed - but I passed.

Try to be gentle with yourself while you wait for the results.

This website helped me get through the waiting period. Good luck and keep the faith.

I totally understand how you feel. I just took my NCLEX today, and I also feel sick.......I'm not sure if this will make you feel a little better, but I heard that if you walk out of the test room thinking you didn't pass, you usually pass, and individuals who think the test was easy are the ones that don't pass. I had many med questions at the end too, and most of them I didn't even know. I stopped at 75 too.....I wish you the best of luck!
