Sounds like you had the same as I did, Lovendove. I too had tons of meds, prioritization and infection control but only a couple of SATA and a couple of easy drag and drop. Struggled at the beginning, started to get better and somewhere in between by the end. Computer shut off at 75 and I really wanted to shout NOOOOOOOOO! Just wanted a few more questions to prove myself. Really have no idea how I did - really well or really badly to get the minimum.

Good luck to all today's test takers - some BON post within 24 hours so keep checking. Going shopping tomorrow for my girl's b'day to keep my mind off things. Keep those positive thoughts flowing.

I'm rattling my brain recalling questions and checking if I got them right or wrong, I'm up to about 5 wrong an ten right:/ I did get one drag and drop and it was too easy which makes me a lil worried (very low level):/

a few friends of mine are saying that if you get something wrong on a topic, i.e. renal fuction, that you will get the same topic but easier later on... I didn't get repeat questions on the same systems whether I got them right or wrong but I did get a lot of infection control that I know I got wrong so maybe there is some truth to it.

Richo... how did it go?!?!?!?

Hi guys im back! Ive been running around errands. Gosh! I stopped at 242 to 245 its really hard it took me almost 4 hours!!!!! i CRIED AFTER THE EXAM! :-) It bombarded me with PHARMACOLOY LIKE 70 % OF IT. Lots of prioritization some of the diseases that i haven't read. I reallly feel bad. I feel like I haven't studied. It's really disappointing. And I won't be in the CA-BRN online verification since I don't have my SSn yet at the time that I applied. I just fax them awhile ago my name change and address change and SSN. Good luck to us lovendove and magnolia. I really envy you two you just have 75. When it got past 75 I know im going for 265 but then it shut off at 242 or 245. I don't really know what to feel although I think I failed. :-( Its hard being positive right now :-( Oh and btw i have 5 SATA and 1 MATH .

Hey you! I've been thinking of ya all day and waiting to hear. I'm going to stay strong for both of us since I was a mess earlier... im feeling a lil better now but can relate 100% in your post; it's the hardest test I ever took.

I got 3 SATA's and 1 ABG, a few labs that were part of a disease process, and that one super easy drag and drop that makes me a lil bit nervous since it was pretty low level.

Lovendove I really cried! I mean Its the hardest exam so far in my life as of the moment! And I really really don't want to retake it again and undergo the grueling process again. At 150 and its 2 hours im getting really really tired and hungry too because I haven't eaten..then comes 200..i just like asking the pc "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP?" And im really ready for it to stop at 265 but it didn't. The scary thing is I feel at the beginning and the middle its really getting hard..then near end I feel its getting easy... then it STOP! So I really had a bad feeling about that... I haven't sleep last night. I tried to about 11 pm then wake up at 2:30 am then 3 am i guess then 4 am . Im just stressed out. And I thank you guys for letting me share my feelings about it. Let's hope and pray for now....

I'm sorry you had to have such a tough go and I too hope we both don't have to see that place again!!! I hope you get some rest tonight! Sending tons of prayers and positive thoughts.

I also felt like it was harder in the beginning then got easier around 30's questions but I also feel more comfortable with the priority/delegation questions and didn't get those till the end so who knows what that means:( I too wanted more questions just as I was feeling confident and then blue screen... it was awful.

At this point I really don't know what to think, except that I need to stop thinking about it!! Driving myself crazy going over questions and whether I got them right or wrong. The hard part is not really knowing which questions are considered the higher level. As far as I understand - that is the key to passing. Everyone gets 50% right and 50% wrong - it is the level that you reach that matters.

Good luck for those passing results. Don't think sleep is in my future until I know one way or the other!! :sleep:
