NCLEX RN 1/13/2016

Published

Any feedback is welcome.....

I took my NCLEX RN exam this morning for the first time. After hearing so many friends say theirs shut off at 75(and passed) I was hoping I could prove my competency between 75-150. Well.....after I got to question 200 I thought to myself..."I am going to be taking all 265 questions". I felt my exam was the hardest test I've ever taken. I completed the Kaplan course and was scoring between 60-85 on their Qbank questions. I studied my butt off and did question after question every day. I felt confident until I sat in front of that computer on question 265. I thought to myself that I definitely failed but I was confused because my exam was hard. I had a lot of hard SATA's and many many priority questions. I don't know my results yet. Anyone have any feedback? What does having 265 questions mean? Do most fail with 265? Thanks in advance

Praying we both passed. I felt my exam was so difficult but it was rattling me when I got the whole 265. I felt so nauseous afterwards and I can't focus on anything else. It's miserable. Have you tried the Pearson vue trick? I haven't. I think I am too scared. Do you know if it still works?

yeah i know how u feel .. i told myself i wasnt gonna do the trick but i couldnt help it so i did it like 5 hrs after the test it looks like i got the good popup but ppl say its more accurate after 24 hrs post test so ill try again tommorow

id say it wouldnt hurt to at least try bt im definitely opting for quick results when available

Me too! I also got the good pop up but I'm still skeptical. I really hope it's accurate but trying not to get my hopes up. I can't sleep because I'm so anxious! Hoping for great results for both of us.

If you get all 265 questions, the last question ("final ability estimate" -- remember, NCLEX is all about how the questions are rated in terms of difficulty and whether they are above or below passing standard) is what decides whether you pass:

When your ability is very close to the passing standard, the computer continues to give you items until the maximum number of items is reached. At this point, the computer disregards the 95% confidence rule and decides whether you pass or fail by your final ability estimate.

  • If your final ability estimate is above the passing standard, you pass.
  • If your final ability is at or below the passing standard, you fail.

(From the NCSBN - see the video on the Maximum Length rule here). Good luck!!!

How did you get your results so quickly!? How were you able to officially find out? So jealous. I tested the same day, January 13, 2016 and still nothing. I am from California.

I tried the Pearson Vue trick and used a $30 gift card both with the wrong and with the right expiration date to get the good pop up every time but I am not sure if it is correct.

When I go to BreeZe and sign in, I noticed that on "Application Activities" on the left hand side, it says "Registered Nurse - RN #XXXXXXX" and it also gives me an option to "RN - Change of Address" underneath. I was excited when I saw this but when I go to "Verify a License" on BreeZe website (before you sign in) and look up my last name and first name, my information does not show up. Same goes for putting the 7 digits RN #, my information does not show up. Also, I noticed that my fellow classmates whoofficially passed the NCLEX-RN all have a 8 digit license number instead of the 7 digit number that I have. This leaves me skeptical that the "Registered Nurse - RN #XXXXXXX" is not a notification that I passed but rather a clerical information of my application for the NCLEX-RN test. Also, on the upper right hand side where there is a box for "License/Registration Information," it says, "No license information available."

If anybody can give me some insight, I would greatly appreciate it.

Seems like CAlifornia NClex takers suffer the most when it comes to gettin results thats awful . My state is NY .. The quick results were availiable after 48 hrs after i took the test and my name n license number was posted that Friday.

ive heard horrible delays in California results up to 5 weeks i would call the BON for more insight Good luck ... Also PVT worked for me that kihjt be a good sign for u

Hi Im in the same boat I took my exam exactly a week ago today Jan 16 and still haven't heard anything. I haven't tried the Pearson trick Im 2 scared lol...I just wanted to know if you have heard anything in regards to the RN change of address. Also do you have an IP, I do so I was just wondering if this is why we are seeing the same options.
