NCLEX Nervous

Published

I took the NCLEX yesterday and felt that a lot of the questions were difficult and the topics were difficult. I had SATA about every fourth question, 2 EKG strips, and one math. The computer shut down at 130 questions. Im really nervous I'm not sure if I pass since I took it on Saturday I have to wait through the weekend to find out. Anyone have any thoughts.

All anyone here can do is offer you anxiety-relieving techniques you probably have drilled into your brain from studying for the NCLEX. You'll have to wait until your results are available. The types of questions you receive cannot help you determine whether you passed or failed, and having 130 questions cannot be used as an indicator whether you passed or failed. All it means is the computer adaptive test was not able to determine if you were at a level of competency until you answered that 130th question.

i started studying again just in case, but all it's doing is stressing me out more. Im really hoping I pass.

So up until 130 the computer was making a decision on where I was at?
