NCLEX 2021 went all the way up to almost 150??

Hi guys, 

I am not sure if anyone had the same experience as I did. I just finish taking my test almost 2 days ago and I am filling with anxiety! For one, I don't know if I pass or fail and two I went to almost all the way to 150. I thought the test was design to go to 145 questions only. I did have two case studies thrown in at the end and it was mention that it won't count towards my test. But what is weird was after finishing the first case study, I was given a good amount like 10 more questions after that then at Q139 mark I have another case study question. What was even weirder was both case studies have about 6Q. So I really thought that after this case study my computer just shuts off bc then it will put me at the 145Q- hence when I was answering the case study my question # keeps going up, so I don't even know what that means but I guess I factor in and figure if I hit 145 then I am done. BUT, I answer a couple more questions after until the question went up to almost 150. I am devastated and don't know what to think at all. All I know is the last couple of questions did have sata and easy question. So I am sad that I might even fail because of one I don't know if I got the SATA question right, but I do know I got the easy question right. *****sigh***** I left the testing center feeling really like "jfaskhfaksjflkasjdflkasjf," I even forgot my coffee cup twice and ultimately left it at the center place bc I waited for my ride and when my ride got there I just literally dip. I am in an emotional nervous reck, I thought I did good but then I don't even know if I pass or fail yet. My mind is everywhere and I look on this forum to see if anyone have come across this while taking the test? I am confused and seeking if anyone have similar experiences and what were you guys results? I don't want to try the PVT bc I heard bad stories, and I don't want to look at my BON bc I am afraid I will fail. So do get an email right after the test. My other question is will I get another email stating my result that whether I pass or fail? or I will know when I get it in the mail? I am in a nervous reck at this waiting game. Lastly, thank you for reading hopefully I didn't confuse anyone.

Do yourself a favor, and just check the site ? pass or fail, the result will not change. You could be celebrating right now, or re signing up so you can take it again. There is no shame in the latter. 

Good luck!

I finally mustard the courage to do what you mention and did the PVT and got "our record indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam....etc" is that consider a good pop up?

Whatever the outcome is, it's not the end of the world.  I passed the NCLEX on my third try.  Passing is passing and I can put RN after my signature.  I hope that you passed on your first try, but there is no shame in taking it again.  Things work itself out for a reason.  Best of luck!

What are the test reviewers did you use? Thank you!

I used UWorld & went to a very extensive 3 month review course. At the time, it was in class, I beleive it's held in Zoom now. After class, I would review questions from UWorld relating to what was went over. Every night, I would review minimum 10 questions. If I felt up to it, I would do another 10. Max each night was 30 because I was also working & have family obligations.  After each question whether I got it right or wrong, I would review the rational. Sometimes I felt that I learned more from the rational more than the actual content itself. It also helped with other questions related. If you are in Los Angeles area, I can refer the review course that I took. He has a 95% success rate. Good luck!

If you’ve taken the NCLEX and felt like nothing you’ve read appeared on your exam after spending days to months, seconds to hours reading then this is the program for you! It took many years to finally write this review but I am so grateful to God for this opportunity to do so. Many obstacles came my way but 5 test attempts later I was able to successfully pass my exam! Thanks to Mr Roberts from ScriptLockr who helped me.

I took NCLEX last month and passed. I finished with 105 questions with mostly SATA. I did some UWorld questions and 1 assessment. UWorld has harder questions and I just focused on the rationales. I didn’t finish the 2k plus practice questions because it was just too much. I only studied for 3 days 8 hrs each day before the exam. 

Did you pass?
