Hi Guys, I had to come here to let you guys know that I took the test today, Last night I logged here on the NCLEX forum, and looked around for the pearson view trick and what not, and some more information tips and what not to calm my nerves.

Anyways the testing center staff was great, I started my test at around 7:50AM. The first 10 questions were sort of iffy, but I flew through it till question 50 or so, then when I got to 72, I took a deep breath, concentrated, and said in about 10 questions I will just raise my hand and ask for a break. (I was feeling that I was going to get the whole 265) so then guess what??? It stopped at 75!!!! YEY, although I felt as I could use some more questions, because I thought I had not answered enough good ones.

Anyways at 8:50 AM I was out of there!

The test was crazy all over the place, had everything but OB and Cancer (thank you lord, I suck at cancer meds) had plenty of meds, mental health meds, mental health questions, acute care, peds, had maybe 16 or so SATA, had chart exhibits, had to listen to 1 question, had no med calc. Plenty of prioritization, infection control, delegation, pharm.

let me tell you, remember life before limb, acute versus chronic, ABCD's, what can the RN and the LPN do, and the infection control mnemonics.

Thanks be to God, that I fount those mnemonics here:

My Chicken has TB, SPiderMMMan, MRS WEE

those were awesome help HUUUUUGE!!!

so I logged on PV and saw delivery success, then I tried the trick and got the good pop up! I sure hope it is right, I will keep on re-checking it!

good luck to me, and to all of us!

If I fail, it was worth the experience, the NCLEX can be all things but is certainly not a monster, if I did not pass, bring it on!

I also read the whole RANDOM FACTS thread last night which helped a whole lot!

You passed, congratulations!!!!! :)

Yeah!! Your experience sounds similar to mine! I did get OB questions and am happy to say no cancer! I was flying through questions. I started around 7:50ish and all the sudden I was at question 70. My heart beat probably increased 10bpm on those last 5 questions! Finally, at question 75, "BLUE" screen and then that torturous survey they make you do! I was out of there by 8:50 as well.

I felt as if my exam wasn't 'hard.' There were definitely questions I was like 'huh' and picked a random answer, but really, nothing was as bad as my Davis Q & A and LaCharitiy book. I only had 5 SATA's? Maybe? So, that's why I'm still a little concerned about my 'good pop-up!'

Waiting for the option to pay for 'unofficial' results. I'm confused as to when this becomes an option!

So glad it's over and that we made it!!! Congrats to you!

OH, it's so good to be able to laugh again!! :lol2:

I'm only trying it once.. Will look to pay for unofficial results ASAP. Otherwise, I'm going to live on the high of the PVT until then.
