Hi everyone! I'm new here and this is my first post. Anyway, I took the NCLEX-RN on Christmas Eve here in CA....for the 3rd time . The first time I answered around 215 questions, the second time I went all the way to 265, and this 3rd time, I did the full 265 again. I used a combination of Saunders, ATI and Kaplan. I feel that I did really good this time, but I have yet to see my name online. I'm losing hope as each day goes by.
Anyway, for anyone who has used Kaplan, in the book there was a chapter about how the CAT testing works and how the scoring is for 75 and 265. It said that if the computer hasn't made a decision by question 264, on question 265 if you answer above the passing standard you pass and if you answer below the passing standard you fail. Does anyone know if this is true?
I keep going over the last question in my head and I feel really confident about it. I even looked online and in my books looking up the different answer choices that were given to me.
I've been praying and praying, but this is all so hard and very frustrating. I would hate to go through it all again, but what else can I do?!
Also, does anyone know if the holidays are really slowing the results down a bit? All of my classmates who have taken the NCLEX and passed saw their names online within 3-4 days. Mine hasn't showed up...does that mean I failed and I should just go ahead and start studying....AGAIN?
