So I took the NCLEX today. I have done nothing but study the past few weeks and I have made myself sick with anxiety about it. I have always done very well in school, nursing school, using Kaplan, etc. I knew by question 10 that I was well below the passing line due to the basic questions that I kept getting. Although they were basic, those were not the types of questions I had prepared for or studied for previously. My test stopped at 75 questions and I went into complete panic mode. The lady who logged me out of my test saw the fear in my eyes and I just started crying right there. It was horrendous. I cried all the way home and called my parents to tell them that I failed.
I tried the Pearson Vue Trick and it did not let me register. It said something along the lines of "you have recently registered for this exam. You are unable to register again at this time," etc. I know that this is supposed to be an indication that you have passed the exam. But all dramatics aside, the likelihood of me having passed after that is slim to none.
My question is, has anyone else received the good pop up but still failed the exam?
I am very excited and shocked to announce that I passed my NCLEX! Thank you all for the encouragement. It's tough to believe that it is possible until you actually see the 'PASS' under your results.

Congrats on passing! Even though your crisis moment is over, I wanted to tell you the way you describe yourself after your exam is IDENTICAL to how I felt after mine. I even prayed it wouldn't stop at 75 because at least then I would still be in the game. After talking with some of my classmates, it turns out most of us felt exactly the same way, and we all passed too.
It's funny. You read threads here about people who are sure they failed, but you don't realize the depth of that feeling until you're crying on the phone to your family/husband/significant other that you've just failed.
Mine shut off at 75 yesterday and I still don't know and freaking out but I really felt like my questions were basic too, and I only had like 4 select all...
