good luck scooby! im new to this site so i may not be posting this in the right site so I apologize in advance if I am! I just took the NCLEX today and I am having a huge panic attack! I wasn't the strongest student in my undergrad nursing program and got like 60s on my practice tests I took before the nclex. Well....today when I started taking the test, aound question 20 I realized I hadn't known any of the answers yet and it just kept getting worse. I got to question 70 and I sware I didn't answer anything right. at question 75 it kept going and then cut off at 78. What was the point of those 3 questions? Was the computer like- yep those last three just proved she's not good enough or what?!?!?! Does anyone have a similar experience (hopefully a positive one!) I'm going outta my mind!!

thanks moe! i sure i hope i pass- itd be quite a pity that weve done all this work and this darn test, which didn't ask me any questions relevant to the field i am going to be working in anyways, could determine our career for now. uggh if i fail i dunno if i have the strength to go through this again!! walmart here i come! haha (hopefully just kidding, love walmart, but with all the bills in tuition, walmart salary ain't gonna cut it!)

Question, do you feel like the questions were really hard?

If, so could be a good sign that you were at a higher level questions.

75 Questions- minus 15 testing questions =60 questions, now out of those 60 you must score more right than wrong, so there is a good chance that you pass even if you got 25 wrong? Is that right?

Good luck!! I took mine July 2nd, had all 265 questions and it took me 5 1/2 hours (what an awful experience). While taking the test, I was already making plans for re-taking the test (no joke - when my husband picked me up afterwards, I was asking him if he'd be able to take off work another day in August or September to take me to the testing center). 2 days later (on July 4th, no less) I found out I passed!! The extreme amount of relief I felt was unbelievable!!! Good luck again - keep us posted!
