NCLEX tomorrow and SCARED

[smghanayem]

I am scheduled to sit for the NCLEX tomorrow morning at 9:30am. I have been reviewing for about two weeks using ATI and Saunders. I do not feel prepared at ALL for this test. My question is, does anybody ever feel completely prepared? Is this a normal feeling? I got a 99% on my ATI comp predictor exam. I took a 4 day live review through ATI and was given more online assessments that I could take to study and learn my weaknesses however was told to aim at getting at least a 60% on them. Well, I only got a 53% in nursing care of children and a 48% in leadership. I have gone back and reviewed the material I missed but I just don't feel like I am ready for this test. At this point it's too late to reschedule so I am just going to go for it and hope for the best. Fingers are crossed.

Mine is tomorrow too, I honestly just want to get it done with. My brain is on fire, and Is exhausted from the information. I'm not ready, no one can be ready, there's a lot of info out there to remember, but stick to the basics and you'll pass...

hopefully we'll both pass tomorrow !!!!!!!!

I took the NCLEX two weeks ago. You will be fine. I received a 97% on the ATI predictor, and I passed with 75 questions. I had about 20-25 SATA. I walked out feeling like I failed the test miserably. However, the PVT gave me the good popup, and I passed!

[CVORscrubRN, BSN, RN]

Wow. I had no idea it was a possibility to get 75 SATA questions. Yikes!

Okay, I took my test this morning. The first 15 or so questions were super easy and then BAM! I got 12 select all that applies almost straight in a row! I don't feel confident at all that I answered any of those questions correctly. So anyways, I took a few deep breaths and kept on going. Next thing you know I am on question 52 and notice that I keep getting the type of question that requires you to pick the priority patient to assess. That went on up until like the last 5 questions. I looked up to see how many questions were left and was terrified. Those last five questions went so fast! The screen shut off on me. All I could think was, "Is that really the end?" I walked out of the testing center at 10:10am...I started just before 9am.

So from 10:10 up until 1pm I was trying the Pearson Vue trick like every 10-15 minutes and finally got the "good" pop-up, "You are already scheduled to take an exam. Please contact your board of nursing yada yada yada"

I am so happy and on the verge of tears on the inside (tears of joy) but am optimistically holding them back because I want to know the definite result.

So now and probably every 15 minutes up until it changes, I am looking for my name to pop-up on the board of nursing website.

Thank you to all who were hoping and praying for me and for all of the advice!

Congratulations!!!!!! I took my nclex today also at 8am (I am not a morning person) and mine also cut off at 75 questions!!! Lots of priority, 13 sata, and about 6 drugs!! I zoomed thru that test and that was kind of scary! I knocked out the first 56 in about 30 mins!! I got home and did the PVT and I received the good pop up! I've checked it atleast 5 times today and it still shows the same pop up!!! Congrats again!!! We did it :)

[smghanayem]

Congratulations!:yeah:It's hard to believe that it's done though! I'm not doing ANY celebrating until I see my name on the board of nursing website though.
