Took mine yesterday, 1/6/11, at 0800 and the test stopped at 75 q's. I had mixed feelings as this was my second try. I had my first try 10 months back and it took me till the 265th question and I felt miserable after that. I felt different this time. I felt more confident this second time around. I finished the test in 1hr and 30 mins. Encountered lots of SATA, prioritization, delegation, meds, and endocrine questions. I had only 1 math problem. As soon as I got home, I went to bed and napped. Woke up after a couple of hours, tried the pearsonvue trick and got a good pop up. Now, my anxiety level's going off the charts. I worked 12hrs last night (Yes - after the test!), came home... didn't sleep a bit. I've been stalking pearsonvue and BON nonstop. I feel nauseated and extremely dizzy now. I have had a total of maybe 8 hours of sleep for the past 3 days. My heart says I passed this time, but my paranoid brain says maybe "not". Pearsonvue trick appears to be in my favor this time around, but the BON website is not showing it. If I have yet to wait for more days for a letter informing me how I fared in this test, positive or negative news - I might be chewing my fingers due to insanity by then or dead 'cause of sleep deprivation and whatnot. I am ranting, I know. This is driving me nuts. Seriously.

CCUer and Mashira pray! Get down on your knees and pray, receive it, and you shall have it. If you just keep faith and believe in what you pray it will come to pass. I have just prayed for the both of you, congratulations on passing your nclex! Give god the glory, Blessings!

Mashira · Jan 7, 2011

Oh I've certainly been praying Sheila! I have a prayer group and we all got in agreement before the exam, and I had multiple people praying for me the morning of. I certainly believe in prayer (I'm non-denom Christian) but I also think that I have to give God something to work with lol. I'm just hoping I gave enough. I did my best and I'm waiting to see Him do the rest!

CCUer, I've been going batty and I'm also stalking the web page. Tonight I plan on watching a 2 1/2 hour movie that I've never seen before (Rebecca) and I'm hoping it gets my mind off of it. It's my favorite book, so at the very least the movie will hold my attention (even if it's because I'm throwing popcorn at my TV because the book is probably better). I got similar questions to you, I was shocked at the SATA, it really freaked me out. I suck at those. This was my first time taking the exam. I graduated Dec. 11th 2010. We'll find out Monday I 'spose. I'll be praying for you till then, hope you stay sane and get some sleep.

I take my NCLEX at the end of this month....Were the questions similar to Kaplan, I mean in their difficulty?

Mashira · Jan 8, 2011

MSLVN, I studied with Kaplan exclusively (well, excluding my nursing textbooks for refreshing), and I would say the questions were similar. I think I passed but I'm too afraid to say it because if I didn't.... well then I'm the idiot who failed at 75 and thought she passed I think Nursing School in addition to Kaplan prepared me well for the exam. If I had it to do all over again, and I certainly hope I don't, I would use Kaplan again.
