NCLEX Shut off at 88!

Published

I just took the exam yesterday and I know the website says 48 hours after the exam but I looked at the quick result countless times already. Lol

I am very anxious. I can almost feel that I failed the ex because I can't even remember most of the questions. I don't feel very confident about how I actually did in the test. Everyone seems to pass at 75 or 265. What are the chances of me passing at 88? It just seem like a weird number to me.

Have you tried the Pearson Vue Trick? It was accurate for me.

I think you did fine. Not many people feel confident after taking the exam. I didn't remember the majority of the questions either, just specifically the last one. Have you tried the PVT? Good luck awaiting your results.

Yes try the Pearson Vue trick. It was accurate for me as well

I did and got the negative pop up. :(

I guess I know now in my heart that I failed it.

Oh man I'm sorry about that. I don't want to be a Debbie downer but when I got the negative pop up I knee that I failed and sure enough I did

I'm sorry to hear of your bad popup. The PVT is a fairly accurate indicator but there can be false negatives. If you did fail though, it's only a minor bump in the road. I failed my first attempt at NCLEX and that lemon was so bitter but I managed to turn it into something resembling lemonade. The victory after finally passing was so sweet. Anyways, nothing is guaranteed yet though until the official results come in. Best of luck moving forward.

Thanks all for the information and encouraging words.

Oh my, I honestly have never felt devasted like this before. I don't have the option but to try again because I want this! So now that I need to reapply for license does this mean that I need to send same papers and do the background check again to the BON? BTW, I applied for Ohio BON.

I'm using Saunders 7th edition and Kaplan practice test. I am contemplating on getting Hurst because either saw reviews about them being really good with discussing contents.
