Absolutely nothing until you get the results.

what are the chances I have passed with 75 ? Does anybody know? I had so many medications questions one after the other

TazziRN, RN · Jul 10, 2007

The chances are good that you did pass, but you will not know that until you get the results. We've had so many people come on here all freaked out because they got booted out after 75, so that must mean they failed, right? And then there are the ones who are positive they failed because they had to answer all 250 questions. Either way, you won't know until you get the results.

Ahhhh, for the good ol' days........

Trying to guess whether you passed or failed is useless -- because there is no way know. Some people pass with 75 questions: other people do not. All you can really do is wait.

Sometimes, life is hard and we all have to go through anxious or tough times in our lives. Waiting for test results is simply a challenge that has to be endured. It's like patients waiting for the results of a medical test to see if they have a dreaded disease ... or family members waiting for the completion of a loved-one's surgery. Sometimes, all you can do is wait.

What helps me with "anxious waiting" is to make plans as to how I will handle the results. Forming a plan to handle the bad news -- whatever it is -- helps me to reestablish a sense of control and confidence in my life. Essentially, I say to myself, "Even if it's bad news, I know I can handle it because I have a plan to deal with it."

Once I know what my plan is for dealing with the dreaded problem, then I don't have to worry about it so much. I have turned a big scary problem into a manageable one. Also, figuring out the answer to the question, "What will I do if....?" keeps my mind occupied and helps the time to pass.

I remember those days well! It was the longest three days of my life. Try to relax and don't give your mailman the heebie-jeebies!! :lol2: There is really no way to know if you passed or failed with any amount of questions. Good luck!!

I have refused first to find a plan B. If I do not pass I do not know what to do to prepare I have done the kaplan and scored really well on the tests and practice more than 3500 questions and yesterday when I went to that test it seems that I did not know anything . I do not know how they decide if you passed or not I wanted to know.

My chiro's wife, who is a nurse, warned me before I took the exam that no matter how hard I studied, I would feel like I had not studied for the questions I saw. I thought, "Yeah, right." When I sat the exam I remember thinking "Where did these questions come from??"

adriane barbosa · Jul 10, 2007

that's what I thought . This is horrible I can not believe that I have studied so hard and still not prepared . Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have no idea what to do if i failed .

do you think you got the last question right? usually if you got the last question right you are good

NYNurse07 · Jul 10, 2007

okay folks, this is my first post here on this site....ever.

i took the test yesterday. i got booted out after 75 questions. i wanted to yell at the computer and tell it, let me do 15-20 more questions. i can pass!!!

please let me do more!

i had a lot of priority questions, which i studied but when i had the questions i was like.......these patients are so close to being priority questions how do i pick??

i had lots of pharmacology questions in which i said to myself "holy crap!!!! i don't know that drug......i've never even heard of it!!!!"

i left feeling pretty stupid. the first, second and third question stumped me........i felt like i was guessing on all the questions.

anyway. i studied. i did the my very best. i studied saunders, ati some, did the kaplan course and i graduated from tompkins cortland community college with a good gpa.

i am off to nashville tomorrow. hopefully i passed, if i don't it's not the end of the world. i told my husband this am, that i wasn't going to make any deals with god. i want to save those for real emergencies. the legitimate ones. the real bad emergencies that i hope to never have.

everybody........let's keep things in perspective. you are alive to write about your fears and your hopes and you got an education which is something that over 50% of the world population will never get.

if you have food on the table, clothes on your back and someone who loves you that is more than most people in the world will have.....

you all are already well off. you have a computer in front of you.

give yourselves a break, i am going to.

it was nice meeting all of you. even through this computer.

life is about the education.

if i find 10,000 ways something won't work, i haven't failed. i am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward. thomas edison

i haven't failed.......i just wasn't successful this time.

my motto in life is to always do good things. i didn't cheat, i studied and in school i helped everyone i could....being everyone's cheerleader. if i died tomorrow - my only regret is........i don't have one. i did good things and i made good on my promise to be nice to everyone.

maribeth - good luck to everyone taking this test. have faith in yourself and in your school and in those teachers and family members who gave you strength to go to school everyday that you didn't want to.
