Hi all, I've been browsing this site for a while, trying to find some info that will help me feel better about my test yesterday, but I can't! I went up to 190 questions in an hour and a half, NO SELECT ALL THAT APPLY QUESTIONS AT ALL or alternative format, besides the fill in the answer ones which I got about 2 of! It seemed like the computer was giving me really easy questions to answer, but I felt like I was unable to answer them. This is bad. I've never been so depressed in my life. It gave me a lot of prioritization and client teaching questions, and a lot of knowledge based questions, a few meds. Other than that, I really have a sinking feeling that I failed. I'm telling myself it's ok, that I'll just take it again, but I really don't want to go through that again! I'm a fast test taker, always have been, I guess that's why I finished so quickly. A friend of mine took hers in 2 1/2 hours and got only 85 questions. Oh gosh.. I get my results tomorrow, a part of me doesn't even want to get them! Encouragement please! Anyone ever got as high as 200/205 and passed?

You're analyzing too much I think. :)

The number of questions on the NCLEX does not predict the pass/fail result. People pass and fail at all numbers.

That's right. The number of questions does not determine pass/fail. Statistically odds are in your favor of passing. Wishing you the best of luck!

As Eric said, I think that you are analyzing too much, but in a situation like this it's hard not to do. Just try to relax, and we are hoping for the best for you!

Hope you hear back soon!
