first of all, RELAX!!!!!!!
Everyone I know who had 75 questions, including me, passed on the first try! Try to stay busy its helps to pass the time. The bottom line is, even if you failed, you can still take it again and it doesn't mean that you won't be a great nurse!!!!!! Most people think that they failed when they walk out of the exam.
I wish you the Best of luck and Keep us posted so we can celebrate with you.

I'm tellin' ya', I walked out of that test just knowing that I had not passed it. Some of those questions were out of this world.
But, from what I've read, and experienced, the people who thought they failed it in 75 really did better than they thought and passed it.
I don't know how long it takes in California, but keep thinking positive thoughts!

Thanks Purple. I'm glad to be in the ranks.
I've been a scrub tech for a long, long time, so this is something I really wanted.
I'm planning to go to grad school in the summer, so if had to wait to take the NCLEX again in three months, I'd miss the deadline for registration. This is a great way to start a new year!!

Hello.
I took the NCLEX yesterday (12/31) and now the anxiety and waiting are killing me.
I felt like I was not doing well, because it was "NOTHING" like what I expected. All I could think of was, "please don't shut off at 75". Well, on the 75th question, when I clicked "next", it shut off. My heart stopped for split second.
I either did much better than I think I did, or I did so bad that I failed it in 75 questions.....
What do ya'll think, if it stopped at 75, are chances I passed or failed more possible? I was a great student, graduated with the highest GPA in our 4 year program, but I felt like I had never even been to nursing school when that test started.
Results should be online tommorrow or Monday.
Thanks for listening. Say a prayer for me.
