NCLEX shut down at 77-78 questions and I'm certain I failed

8 Posts

I am most certain I did not pass the NCLEX. I can already count in my head 6 to 7 questions I know I answered absolutely wrong. I feel like I blanked and there were no obvious correct answers. I looked up answers from my Nclex and made some major dumb mistakes.. I had maybe around 7-10 Select all apply, 1 easy med math, 2 nutrition questions, peds, ob and a bunch of weird diagnostic testsi could not even pronounce!! I totally guessed a lot I can't sleep, I'm sick to my stomach and I absolutely feel like ****. I'm not exaggerating, I know I failed. I've literally been crying, not eating, and not sleeping. I took my test March 24 on Thursday at 2pm and it is now 8am Saturday morning. No sign of my name on breeze and I'm terrified to know the truth that I failed and do the Pvt. The reason why I think I failed is because I know I could've studied more. I had to retake my nursing school exit exam twice after failing the first one by 1% off (2 questions) and remediate for nine weeks after. I studied the second time around so hard and reread all of my ATI books and the VATI greenlight my school provided for free. That's why I felt so confident that all I really needed was review before I took the nclex. I took the NCLEX exactly 9 weeks after I graduated and I felt like i knew nothing!!!!

It's so weird how the computer knows where you are weak in because I kept getting pediatric questions and crazy diagnostic tests that Ive totally forgotten like - Retrograde endoscopic pancreaticduodenumyography, electric myography and I totally didn't know what foods stomatitis clients can eat.Honestly I feel like I didn't pass... It was hard and I didn't remember a lot of pediatrics and it tested me on that. I was certain that when the computer shut off at 77 I knew I failed and I was so embarrassed I couldn't even look at the employees there at Pearson center. I was only certain of maybe 3 to 4 questions. The only review i did was ati, few uworld/Kaplan questions and nurselabs...

I'm SOOO nervous... I can puke.

Ive been nonstop reading of peoples experience of taking the NCLEX and the computer shutting off around near 75-80 questions and I'm not trying to be pessimistic but I absolutely felt like... I didn't know anything, I doubted every initial answer, kept changing answers and finished 77-78 questions in around 1.5 hrs. At one point I almost felt like I started guessing.. It seems like everything that I studied or learned in nursing school couldn't have help me on that test and I know that I don't have very good test taking strategies. My anxiety was heightened and I have the worst confidence after failing my exit exam of nursing school the first time. I redeemed myself and pushed through and honestly, the exit exam at my school is geared to be harder than the NCLEX. I had a 96% probability chance of passing my Nclex for the first time according to my predictor. I'm not an A student but I really do try and do my best.

I just feel like maybe I failed miserably and I was hoping to take the full 265 questions... Any advice guys?! I'm so anxious and defeated. It's been a very long journey for me and have been through plenty of ups and down in nursing school.. I just hope that 77-78 questions didn't mean I royally messed up.
