hello every one, i took my nclex pn to day friday the 9th, it was my 3rd time. i tried to be very clam when i was taking the test. i know i have test anxieties. it seemed a little easier but i'm very scared.
i got a lot of sata questions and only one math question
the first time i took the nclex i got up to 200 questions and i failed, the second time, i run out of time at 185 ques and i still failed, this time i got 85 ques and i don't know. may be i will know my results on monday and i will let you know if i passed.
does any body know of any one that got 85 questions and failed?
i pray that i passed i studied so hard for this test
thank you all for your responses, they really helped me a lot
god bless you all

What types of question did you end up getting? From what I've been reading and understanding, Priority, Delegation, SATA are considered good. I think
i go a lot of deligation, and priority too but i kind like figured out how to answer thoes, i tried to see which pt i would care for first that was in danger
I assume "danger" means you did your ABC.

I really hope you are right about saying that SATA, priorities etc. are good bcuz I had a lot of those and I stopped at 85...This was my second time and I took it on May 3rd. I wasn't too confident in taking it bcuz the day before I got into a huge accident on the freeway and hit my head on the steering wheel pretty hard. I wanted to re-schedule but it was too late. Well I've studied a lot for this test and I hope I will pass even though I had a huge headache that day! I had a lot of SATA and especially priorities and also Meds!!..a few fill in the blanks.

It is very hard to predict, many pass with any number of questions as do many fail. Try to relax whilst waiting and good luck

how did you prepare this time around?
i made sure i was calm during the exam, relaxed the day before the exam, read the whole sandals book and read the kaplan strategy book two times and i made sure i used kaplan strategy during the exam.
i memorized my labs, was sure about my math
i was all the time thinking of abc's, maslaw, nursing process and always safety for the pt
make sure you are calm and relaxed during the exam. you have to think positive and know that you are going to pass this time no matter what. that is important because it prepares you for positive thinking.
make sure you know diseases, all the three times i have taken the nclex i think they ask a lot about disease or what pt you would see first with all different kind of disease plus memorize the common lab values, make sure you are good with your math
remember the day before the exam is for you to relax, have a good dinner with your friend, boyfriend or husband, or wife if you are a man. this is really important, it helps you relax and take your mind off the exam and you will be ready to think well the day of the exam. make sure you get a good night sleep before the exam.
i read the entire sandals book, i read the kaplan strategy book two times and i made sure i was using the strategies during my practices. that really really helped me a lot and the exam seemed so easy, i finished in about an hour because i set my mind that i was going to get 205 questions and that i was going to pass. but i got only 85, so set you mind that way, you don't want to be disappointed when the computer keeps giving you more questions after 85.
kaplan strategy book was really helpful but i still had to know the material
that book says to always think of abc's, maslaw, nursing process and always safety for the pt
read it you will know what i'm talking about. it's a small book so read it more than once and make sure you know what it's talking about. you will pass.
wish you the best
i hope this helps you
