NCLEX 2017, need advice!

Published

Hey guys!

This is my first time posting on this website. I have been reading a bunch of posts similar to my situation but they are all from years ago so I wanted to get some feedback from people who have recently taken the NCLEX.

I took the NCLEX yesterday at 8am and have been anxiety ridden and crying ever since. I finished my test at 75 questions in about 40 min and walked out of the test center not knowing what to think. I am mainly worried because in my last 20 questions I had two very easy recall/memory type questions which makes me think I was below the passing line. I can't remember the number of SATA questions I got and I don't remember what my last questions was. At 75 I just wanted the computer to give me more questions because I knew I could do better. Has any one ever had a situation like this and passed?

I am so upset and it's so hard to wait the 48hours for quick results.

Also I have tried the PVT and I got a pop-up that says my "test results are on hold" and I have read on here that could go either way.

Please respond if you have any input!

Thanks.

I had a similar experience. Before taking the test, I thought I would easily be able to figure out if I was answering a passing level question or not. That did not happen. I had straight content specific questions randomly mixed in with application questions. I kept thinking I was failing because I didnt think I was getting passing level questions (I only had 2 or 3 triage questions, 0 delegation, etc.). Even my last question was a simple question just asking the adverse effect of a VERY common medication. The exam shut off at 75. I passed. Don't over think what type of questions you got. Stay positive!!
