NCLEX is Killing ME! 265 times two!

[nate2]

I feel like I'm having REALLY BAD deja vu. I took my NCLEX in January with 265 questions and didn't pass. That was a nightmare. I waited three weeks to get my failing results and got near passing on every section. I just re-tested on 2/28 and AGAIN got 265 questions. Lucky me. I felt just awful after this second test. I took all the time I needed and only had 5 minutes left on the clock! By the time it ended I just wanted to go home and curl up into a ball. The test was even harder the second time. There were priority, delegation, meds, no math, and one multiple choice. There were questions I would read and just ask myself "what?!" Then after reading the four choices I still asked myself "what?!" Man, this can't be happening to me....again! After my first test I called the CA BRN and found out my transcripts were holding up results. Last week I just thought I'd make sure everything was complete...and it is. The person I talked to said I should be getting results "shortly" and "real soon" in a kind of I can't tell you anything directly sort of way. Then I got the mixed message that I should look "in the mail." So anyways it's been 4 update cycles and waiting through the weekend has been the hardest ever....torture really....and I don't want to lose hope. I'm so tempted to call the CA BRN again, but I know I shouldn't harass them. So if anybody has some spare prayers out there for me I could sure use them. I've been waiting for this so long! Any cali fans out there?

The passing standard is determined by the questions that you answer. They need to be at least above a certain level , that is pre-determined. They should be getting harder as you test, not easier. They look to see the range in which you are answering questions correctly.

My friend found out she passed today with 265 questions after waiting for one month and 5 days.. I just found out I passed today too and I got between 180-190 questions, another one passed at 75 questions... and everybody in my class that had taken the test and passed had different number of questions.. I know you've seen this before but me and my classmates are proof that the numbers of questions really don't matter.. you could pass with any number.. I know it's hard to wait coz I was in your position till today, but keep your hopes up and I will pray for your success... and keep us posted...

goodluck,

Nate, stop worry because God does not like it when we worry. We insult God when we worry all the times. It is like we telling God we dont trust him. He said to cast all our cares on him. You must do that. God has the best plan for your life. Just stay put and pray diligently and make all your requests known to him.

I will be praying for you today
