My nclex 2017 experience

Published

I completed all requirements and paid Pearson well before graduation on July 28th. My school took their sweet time sending out program verification. Finally received my ATT on August 11th. First available date was September 1st. Checked again at 5am the next morning and got August 26th. Checked again the following morning (Sunday) and got a date for today! (August 15th) suddenly anxiety set in. I couldn't sleep so I got about 5 hours off and on. I glanced over my labs and a few other 'basics'. I arrived at 7:30 for my 8am appt. Security is tight. I had to lift my sleeves, remove my watch, scan my palm like 4 times. We were videotaped throughout the test and told not to erase any notes we wrote. I finished 85 questions in under an hour. I did Pearson trick 3 hours after finishing and got the good pop up. I don't buy it. I feel completely in the dark. I should have my results Thursday morning and I will keep you guys updated. Feel free to ask me anything.

I took my test on August 7th, I didn't think I was nervous at all until the night before despite a sleep aide I was awake all night. NO SLEEP. Went to the testing center for 8 a.m. and got there at 6:15 a.m. Still don't feel nervous, go into the test center and go through the same you did and sit to take the test. I go through the overview, still not nervous. Question one pops up and PANIC set in. I felt as though I would vomit, sweating, my heart is racing and pounding out of my ears. I proceeded to dry heave and had to leave the test ten times maybe more. I couldn't concentrate and actually don't recollect anything other than the fact that I sat for 265 questions plus the research questions that I didn't answer. It was by far in my almost 45 years on this earth the worst day of my life. I snapped at the proctor when I was leaving then I drove home. I have no recollection of the drive at all, then I came home and slept for about six hours. The next forty eight hours were a blur, my friend told me to try and re-register for the exam and if I got the message "you are already registered..." then I was good. I did it, the right pop up came up, twenty four hours later it said PASS. So now I am waiting for a license number. When I took my L.P.N. back in 1999 the next day I had a license number the next day. Good luck to you I am sure you passed. Sorry I rambled on but I felt like I needed to share that horror story.

wow..what a story...but I guess your clinical experience as LPN helped you big time.

May I know what are the materials you used to pass Nclex? I am planning to take the test maybe a month from now but I graduated 9 years ago and it's been 7 years that I did not work in the clinical area.

Keep praying... Some friends shared that PC shut down at 75.

I know that you have done your best.

I know it is not easy to process and prepare for the exam. So you deserve to enjoy your time now because you have tried the test. There's always a perfect timing on everything.

They said after 48-72 hrs, you can check using a card that has a very minimal amount like 7.00 more or less and it will give you a good or bad pop out. Though some says, it is not accurate but majority shares that it tells whether you pass or fail.

Please share to us your result! :)
