just took nclex and super nervous!!😦

Published

So i took the nclex earlier and it was super hard! I ended at 75 questions and get the pop up that says, " our records indicate you've already registerd for this exam and cannot do so at this time" please give me some feedback I'm losing my mind!!!

whya re u nervous? u obviously know that you passed the exam so why post a topic saying you are nervous? Why do people come here asking for reassurance when they know that seeing the good pop up means 99% chance of passing? Just saying..

Here's your feedback: You answered 75 questions, then the test ended. The computer was able to determine that you either were at or above the passing standard the entire time, and there was no point in giving you more questions (you were demonstrating competence).

OR:

You were below the passing standard, so far below that the computer calculated that no matter how many more questions it gave you, you were never going to make the grade, no competency demonstrated.

Which do you think is more likely? You know how you studied, how you were doing on practice questions, where you were with understanding the rationales. Do you think it more likely you passed, or did so abysmally poorly there was no recovering after 75 questions?

I'm going with the former. Most people, upon closing the test at 75 questions, will have passed. You also did that famous little 'trick', indicating a likelihood of having passed.

Don't go crazy celebrating until you get the official results, but you can stop being nervous :)

I did between 50 abd 150 questions a day, ended up doing all of them. ..i just reviewed that material. Too be honest....when i took nclex i felt kaplan didn't help as far as comprehension. ....thank god it was free! Good luck!☺

kaplan didnt help for my exam also! the only similarity was the layout of the exam. The BS decision tree didnt even help me for the exam. I feel like i just wasted time using Kaplan!! i think i will use Saunders and Lacharity PDA to study next time...
