Having the last question wrong does not mean you fail. You just can not predict with the exam. Hang in there and good luck

I got my last question wrong and still passed. Hang in there and wait for your results. Do distract yourself in the meantime. Best of luck to you.

hang in there kid, those tests are set up to fail you when you miss so many, you got more questions to answer , so thats a plus!!!

you just have to wait until the results come, it doesnt mean you failed if you miss the last question, those tests are set up to scare you , hang on & wait until you get your test results, did it tell you that you failed???

did it tell you the other times that you failed???

be patient ( i know its tough)........

but i k now you can do it!!

I DID IT I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy for you. Congradulations!!! :yeah:

Hi, I'm back and rejuvenated.

To respond to your distress. I took the NCLEX three times already and failed. I lost the confidence to retake it so i took some time off to mentally prepare myself for the battle again.

Silverdragon is right, don't base your last question on the success of your exam. I did that and I was disappointed but I'm quite sure that you will not be. Stay positive and keeping striving for the best. Good Luck future RN.

I DID IT I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi nikki can you share to us what you encountered? thanks and congrats! :yeah:

Hi Mesmerizex! well I took the nclex rn three times and the third time was my charm! studying for the text the third time I really JUST did questins in study mode about 100-200 a day for about 3 weeks. I bought the nclex rn review by hogan and did the questions on the cd it was great. when I got a questions wrong I looked why i got it wrong and really tryed to understand. also when I was taking the test..on the dry erase boards I would put 1. 2. 3. 4. for every anwser. then I would put a + or - according to each anwser and tried to figure out what the correct anwser was. you can do it! take your time! if i can do it so can you =)
