N-CLEX Story Feb 7

Published

Hi! This is my first time posting here. I wanted to share my story because before I took the N-CLEX RN I came to this site a lot for encouragement and reassurance!

I took my test Feb. 7th and I received 77 questions. And let me tell you when it went to 76 my heart dropped and I told myself I would be there for all 265! (But I got lucky)

Background:

I graduated 12/16/16 and didn't not receive my ATT until 1/9/17 (my school is so slow). I registered for my test that day (2/21). I had purchased U-world before the end of the year because I heard their price was going up so I had been studying a little bit already. I used ATI during school and it was not my fave but I did read the comprehensive book we received during live review.l and it helped. But U-world is the truth. It helped me so much. Some questions even reminded me of uworld and the set up is the same. I studied for three weeks on and off. I had started my job and I realized I waited too long to schedule so I eventually moved my test up to 2/7. I felt like I was ready. I was nervous but more excited than anything. Also, in school, I was an average student. I had A's and B's.

Before the test:

I scheduled a floating session. It was my first time doing it and it was amazing. I recommend looking it up if you've never heard of it! I needed something to relax and get my mind off the test. I did do some questions just because of anxiety, I even did questions right before the test on nclex mastery but I told myself that I was being crazy and I stopped. I walked in the testing center focused, calm, and excited. Told myself that I knew this information and the answers are right there. (You can do it)

The test:

The test was super random. I had a lot of OB a couple PED 2 mental health. 20 SATA, no dosage, drag drop, hotspot, exhibits, or strips. Maybe 10-20 priority, teaching, delegation. And when it shut off at 77 this is why I thought I failed! I DIDNT THINK MY QUESTION WERE HIGHER LEVEL THINKING QUESTIONS!!! Everytime I got a SATA a cheered a little in my head. It's a curse to know that N-CLEX is CAT! I don't care what anyone says lol. I've already ramble enough so the next day (2/8 at about 1pm) I called the KBON to see if I could still practice with my provisional license and she says "Well actually you can practice under your own license independently because I just posted a half hour ago! Congratulations!" My face---> ������������������. When I got off the phone I looked my license up and there it was even because the quick results were available!

Uworld scores:

lowest- 47%

highest- 71%

overall-59%

did all questions in the bank

assessment- 53% (56th percentile) HIGH chance of passing BUT I took the assessment before I completed 25% of the qbank. Which was dumb but I was eager. Wish I would've waited.

ATI: 97th percentile (passing likelihood)

Good luck to everyone. I hope my story helps someone like your stories have help me!

Sorry for the endless about of typos lol. I meant before the quick results lol. And I also wanted to add I did 3,054 questions before I tested. And I tried the PVT as soon as I got home, ten minutes later and I got the good pop up. (10min, 1hour, 6hours, same). It worked for me
