My Nclex experience Yesterday

[caribbeanbeauty]

Hello everyone!

I took my nclex exam for the second time yesterday and just wanna scream:scrm:. I just read an interesting post that said that everyone should have it instill in them that they are going to take 265 questions and I agree.

First of all the exam started at 2pm. I studied for four months using Saunders and took the Kaplan assessment test the day before the exan and my scores were pretty high and indicated that I had a good chance of passing. I went in with so much confidence and thought to myself the computer would shut off at 75 question and when it did not I almost peed myself. I took a break at 85 came back thinking just a couple more and at 165 started freaking out. Then around 185 I started praying lord, if you are up there let it cut of before I get to 200 and it kept going..... around 210 I was like anyway around here would be good Loard, just let it cut off.....It finally hit me around 230 I was going to get the full gamet. The last time I looked at my screen was 261 and sure enough at 265 I saw the blue screen of death. I was tired, hungry, ended at 7pm...In the end I started second guess myself, basic stuff I forgot and I swore I saw the same questions about five time just switched around a bit. I had about 8 calculations, 10 SATA, a few priority and who would you see first. But like the others I tink i bombed it. I am not going to cry this time, because I really felt like I gave it my all. So I deal with the results when it comes and will start preparing again.

This weekend will be my Birthday and before I went in, I kept thinking what a wounderful birthday present it would be if I pass. So I am still hoping and praying..We'll see.

Advance Happy Birthday!

Time for you to breathe in now coz you have taken the test. I know you really prepare yourself for the test and you've done all your best so let's just wait for the good news.

I'll include you in my prayers...I'll take mine on March 6, and I am too frightened to sit for my exam.

Good Luck!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your love and support. I got my results yesterday and I failed. I had near passing in everything. Not sure where I went wrong. I felt like I almost had it. Not sure how to even celebrate my birthday. But thanks again....

sorry to hear that you didn't made it. but don't you worry, something better is waiting ahead of you. don't despair! take a break and if you think you are ready for the next battle, grab the books again and have a good start.

don't loose hope!:nuke:

Sorry to hear that you failed. I also went through all 265 so I can feel your pain. Having 8 calculations is not a good sign. That means you were either having issues with the easier questions or you were having problems with medmath itself. You saying that your results came back "near passing in everything" means your were not passing in any of the sections. You're either having issues with the content itself or application to questions. If you haven't taken Kaplan Review yet I would really recommend it.
