I went today and took my NCLEX exam at 9 am. I am scared to death - I felt like I knew NOTHING!! I walked out of there feeling stupid. THe test shut off at 85 questions - Is this GOOD or BAD?? Is it normal to feel like you knew barely anthing? I talked to one of my friends who also took her exam today and hers shut off at 86. Why one more question? THis is gonna drive me NUTS. Whats the soonest anyone has gotten results?
Help me feel better about this before I have NO more fingernails!!!
They do know, the only reason why they don't tell you your results is if you failed and you have a long ride home- knowing that; not to mention bad reactions could happen right there at the center.
:uhoh3:I took my august 7th and i'm freaking out. I don't know my results yet...but i don't think i passed. I got 85 questions and they were really hard.I'm so scared.......but at least i'm not the only one. WIsh me good luck and good luck to all of us who are waiting for those darm results
this is exactly how I feel. No math questions, no procedures, very little lab stuff. And yes, I studied with Saunders and the only thing that helped somewhat was some of the "stradegy" stuff. not one of the 90 questions was a "common sense" question". You know how in school you're taking a test and you get those confidence building questions that you just breeze through? None of those. Mind you, I was at the top of my graduating class. I have no idea how others who didn't do as well in school, will do on the NCLEX. :
still freaking out in SF....
I feel your pain, I didnt have one single math, lab or procedure question either. "Thats weird!" I also tied in my class for highest GPA and I felt overwhelmed with Questions about stuff i was never taught. I tested on Aud 22nd & my test shut off exactly at 1hr and at #85 question. At 1st i was happy i was done and then i was freaked out that i finished so fast. Hopefully these Cali results will come in faster that expected! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
I took test on feb.7th and did not get results till 1day shy of 4weeks(1st week in march) it was killer waiting for them. I cut off at 85 did not have any multiple multiples (thank goodness) but felt like I didnt know anything that was asked. I can say that the cd's did help, though they ?'s are totally different than those on the test, they do open up and get you to critically think and may help you process the info on other questions. I studied a variety of cd's from different book for nearly 4month straight. good luck to all those waiting for results, CA is the slowest and makes you wait.
KATD, did you get your results yet? It was my understanding that the 8/8 test results letter went out yesterday in California. I hope you got your "PASSED" letter.

I haven't gotten my results yet and I'm going crazy......I've been checking the mail everyday this week but so far ..........nothing. I praying i passed But there's always that failed that can come...:uhoh3: I had about 5 select all that apply, calculations, and meds that i totally forgot about.....I walked out feeling stupid.....But i'm praying soooooo hard I really need this...
I took my test today at 9am and didn't get out until 1pm. I had to answer all 265 questions. I studied using the Saunders book, Mosby NCLEX flashcards, and bought a REALLY expensive online review program as well. During the test it seemed as though none of this studying helped at all. I was a good student in school and have been working as a GN (which I love). I have a feeling that I failed...does anyone out there know if 265 is the magic number for failing. I've been sick to my stomach over it...cried the whole way home from the test
i took my NCLEX last 17th of August at 11am and it shut off after i answered my 75th question and i was really shocked. it seemed as if i was carrying the whole world. i went staight away to the toilet and there i cried and cried and cried. i didn't really understand what i felt. all i knew was i didn't know nor i have never encountered some of the quetions asked. all i felt was terrible but i said thats the best shot i could ever make. and the only person that was on my mind that time was GOD and even upto these moments. the hardest part was the waiting time of my results. there wasn't any night that i had a good sleep thinking about the result. but then i have continued to believe in HIM and trust HIM that HE will do a miracle for me. until september 4 i received the result and i was so elated when i saw the word PASSED. do continue to entrust evrything to the LORD heartily...
:lol2: hi! i've been through all your feelings... i hope you did well on your exam... i'll give you my hug and kisses as i know how it feels to be waiting for the result... my prayers go with you too... GOOD LUCK!!!
