Just took the NCLEX. Terrified I failed.

[hope_is_w_feathers]

So I just took the NCLEX today at 8 a.m. Really afraid I failed. It shut off at 75 questions and I got about 30 SATA (I kept track). I had no med math or any hotspot questions or drag and drop, etc. I honestly felt like I was getting them all wrong, especially the SATA. And then at one point I had a question that was DUH easy that I realized I must not be doing very well for it to give me such an easy question. I mean, it was so easy that anyone off the street would know the correct answer. Anyone else have a question on their NCLEX that was like DUH???

I have done the Pearson Vue Trick and I got the good popup, but then was privately messaged by someone who told me when she took the NCLEX she was stopped at 75 as well and got a good popup but failed.

So whereas before I had a little hope, now I have none and I am just extremely stressed. I am so sure I failed. And then I also looked a couple questions up that I was curious about afterward and know I got those questions wrong and that just made me feel worse. lol

I am trying to have hope, but I know that any number of SATA does not mean anything and also the pearson vue trick obviously doesn't mean anything either.

Anyone else feel like they were getting all of the questions wrong but still passed? I can say I only honestly knew a couple of the SATA and the others I felt like I was making educated GUESSES and there were 30 of them!!! Not good. And some of the questions were of content that we never went over in school. :-\

How am I supposed to wait 24 to 48 hours to get my answer without going crazy?

Wow! I'm pretty sure those 48 hours were very long. Well, you passed and I'm glad you did. I had to wait to hear about my Nursing Assistant test results too and I was a little nervous. I passed the written and not the skill. I'm scheduled to retake it on the 26th. I'm sure I will pass it this time because I know all of the steps. I was just nervous by the time i did the skill after taken the written portion. I need some information on a rural hospital or agency which would pay for someone to do Nursing. I am max out on students loans due to having a Master's degree already. Please, share any info on special grants or funding out there.

This was so calming for me to read at this time. I've been out of the test for about 3 hours now and I've been getting more and more worked up. But my test experience sounds pretty similar to yours. Turned off at 75, about 25-30 SATA,no other alternative formats, didn't feel super confident in any of the questions except for maybe 1 or 2.

can breathe a little now :)
