Just took my NCLEX today and feel horrible

Published

:o Today was the worst day of my life in the last 3 years. I took my exam which I thought I was totally prepared for. I studied for the last month and a half religiously everyday for at least a couple of hours. I did a review course, practiced with the cd rom's plus purchased several other books to study from. I had 265 questions and it took me 4 hours. I had questions about stuff I never heard of. No math, no IV, no insulin, the whole test was on medications which I never heard of, a handful of delegation, and the majority of the questions were on cardiac in regards to the nursing process. It would take a miracle if I passed. I feel I just don't have it in me anymore to study. I have tried my hardest and gave it everything I had. How can I feel that I have done so poor? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated to help me get through the next 48 hours.
I took mine in Albany, NY. Would be too funny if we were at the same exam. I have been crying and praying all day. I hope I'm one of the lucky 265 people. :o

i took mine yesterday and i've been physically sick since. i know i won't get my results maybe on saturday (took my test out of my state, don't know how long it will take to process). i suffer from migraines so i had a headache since i finished the test. my stomach is in a knot i'm having panic attacks. this is so stressful and wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with this kind of stress. i believe i failed and and have been praying that i'm wroing. the test shut off at 200 questions, which mean nothing but i wonder why it couldn't just keep going to give me more of a chance to pass. i really feel a better system should be put in place to find out results. i also wish the test was not as stressful, school definitely was stressful but this takes the cake. good luck to us all:sniff::o
