NCLEX 265 questions

pknurse · Jun 28, 2013

I can't speak from experience, but one of my classmates (first in my class to get his license mind you) passed at 265 questions with less than thirty minutes left on the clock. It's possible.

Hey guys,
I am new to all nurses.com. Just graduated in May 2013, BSN and just took my NCLEX today (06/27). It took me 41/2 hours to complete the max 265 questions...has anyone had 265 questions? I feel defeated and my anxiety level is like through the roof right now waiting for my results. I'm really hope I passed with 265.!!
Aloha,
Chassie

Did you do the pvt?

MexRnToBe...no i havent. I've been reading mixed reviews about the pearson vue trick...and i don't want to psych myself out...i am just going to wait the 48 hours and pay the $8 for the "unofficial results."

I took 265 last week in 5 hours. I passed :) I also did the PVT and got the good pop up.

It could go either way. I got 265 in 5 1/2 hours but failed. Just try to relax while waiting. Who knows, you could already be an RN! :)

Hey guys, got my results in this morning. I failed. Completely devastated and depressed. Looks like I'll be waiting for 45 days to retake. For those of you that have passed, what was your folks studying like? I used the Saunder's book to study and literally covered every chapter...any recommendations as to what other books I can try...I was thinking about ordering the Kaplan Nclex-RN Review book 2013-2014, and probably a book about Prioritizng because I had a lot of those types of questions...

let me know what you think and thanks for the support.

I too took the nclex on 06/27 and failed at 265. It's depressing but we can do this! I need a study buddy if you are looking for someone!

Likewise! I failed at 265 about 2 weeks ago as well. I did Helen Feuer & the NCSBN review the first time. This time I purchased Kaplan and Saunders. I REFUSE to fail. The first time I had gotten some REALLY bad news so my mind was elsewhere in all honesty. I'm in FL, but if you're all looking for a study buddy maybe we can set something up? Let me know :angrybird5:
