nclex experience 6/9/15

Published

So here is a little info about myself. I graduated in May 2015 with ADN degree 2 wks after graduation I took the live hurst review (3 days in total). After the hurst review I scheduled my exam for 3 wks out. A friend of mine did it this way and she passed first time with 75 questions. I studied every day all day for those 3 wks (would wake up at 8:30 am and stop about 3 am taking a few breaks of course 3-4hrs on 1 hour off). I also did practice questions via phone app throughout the day or when i was in the car. I listened to the lectures on hurst and did all 6 of the QR test I made 73,75,83,85,83,82 /125. Hurst states that if you get about 83 to 84 questions right out of 125 you have a high chance of passing nclex the first time. I would study a few days and then do a test to see where I was at. The last test I took was the night before my test.

the day of nclex i reviewed some meds and looked at a nclex cram sheet i found online. I was at the testing center at 1:30pm and started about 2pm. The computer cut off at 75 questions and I left there about 4:20 ish. I did not get any math questions but got a lot of pharm and legal ethical type questions (WHICH I DID NOT FOCUS ON WHILE STUDYING). I left feeling cheated by hurst because I was told to focus on med surg and specialty type info.

I have attempted the PVT but it does not allow me to put in the wrong cc info. I am not sure if that means i failed or not. I definitely feel like I failed. There is no way except with gods help that I could have passed not reviewing the things on my test. I am not trying to discourage you i wish someone would have mentioned these topics to me so I'm passing the info forward. I should be getting my quick result tomorrow afternoon. In the mean time i am emotionally unstable lol I'm going through all the phases of griveing and its driving my family crazy. I will update on my result tomorrow and i hope i can say i pass but seriously doubt it.

This link takes you to the PVT info:

https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/why-pvt-is-992306.html

And if you look at the top of the page once you get to that link, you'll see that you'll be on the NCLEX Discussion Forum---a better place to chat about this with people who are in your shoes right now, rather than the General Nursing Discussion forum.

Good luck!

I did the hurst review it helped me understand the core info that I feel I need as a nurse but I don't just don't see how i could pass. I think I'm in the freak out mode because I can't even remember the questions I answered. I just keep thinking I should have read the questions again. A friend of mine just found out she passed. She also was cut off at 75 questions so Im just praying and hoping that I passed. I also have read the links above and that is why i am cautious about trying the trick. I just have to wait 24 more hours.

Everyone I know who got cut off at 75 questions thought they failed it, including me. We all passed.

Just calm down until you know for sure. Most people who have talked about failing NCLEX on this site went through many more questions than 75.
