2nd attempt taking NCLEX and this time with 265 questions... im freaking out

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Yesterday was my 2nd time taking the NCLEX.I was soo nervous and anxious before.. in fact I broke down crying before I entered the place. The first time I failed within 75 questions and I was very devastated cause I thought I studied so hard and knowing I failed within 75 question made me feel incompetent. It sucked because all of my other friends passed and I was the only one who unfortunately failed. For a week I took a break from studying and then I got back on my feet and kept studying. I tried to stay as positive as I can, my family and friends were extremely supportive which helped me through this process. So yesterday I took the NCLEX... and at first I was relieved that I passed 75 questions but when it got up to 180, I had a feeling I would do the entire test. I was getting frustrated, anxious, weak and extremely hungry during the test. I had around 30 Select all that apply, 4 place in order,4 EKG, 4 Exhibit questions (which i hated), a lot of the questions I took were priority, and some med. I did the PVT and I actually got the good pop up... does anyone know how accurate is the PVT?

Congrats! I am my 3rd semester and will taken flex in spring/ summer. What is the thing with the pop ups? How do you know if it is a good or bad pop up?

When you take the NCLEX the "trick" to see if you passed is you try to reregister

If you passed it will say "you are currently registered you cannot register again" (which is the good popup)

If it takes you to the credit card screen, well that means you failed

Good Pop Up = 'Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member board for assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time.'

There is not a "Bad pop up", however, if you get taken to the payment screen while attempting the trick, that indicates probable failure.

Neutral pop up = "This candidate currently has results that are on hold." Indicates neither a pass nor failure, but you may be waiting to find out for a while.

Thanks for all the support guys and I found out yesterday that I PASSED!!!!!! Feeling soo blessed right now. Good luck bhumipatel2004!! Stick to a study plan. For me, I did kaplan. I did all of the qbank and q-trainer and the focus review tests. I also did saunders, but this book kind of overwhelmed me so i just looked up info that I wasn't familiar with and did the quizzes everyday and I did some of the 100 question test which I would alternate doing the tests with NCLEX3500. However around the last 2 weeks I did 75 one day and then 100 another day, then 150, then 265. Also what helped me alot is looking at the rationales.
