Near the Passing Standard

[FabolognaRN]

I recently took the NCLEXRN and didn't pass. I did 230 questions and ran out of time. When I received the performance report it stated that I was " Near the Passing Standard" in all content area.

I know that running out of time wasn't in my favor, so what do I do now?

I used

Saunders Q&A, Lacharity PDA, Kaplan Stategies, and my notes from School.

Did I sabotage myself?

Im glad someone made a post about this. This happen to me as well. Had 209 questions and ran out of time. ,,Results include above passing in two areas and near the passing standard for the rest. I used the same sources you did, Kaplan strategies book, Saunders Q&A cd, and Lacharity and 35 page study guide. I was also anxious the day of the test. I will be taking it again soon. I would suggest to invest in the NCSBn 3 week course, and continue to use the sources you are using. I would suggest if you are ok with content, emphasize studying strategies and to study the 35 page study guide like the Bible! When I left the exam site I realized that some of the questions I had were exactly on the study guide. I took the pn nclex last year and I felt it was mych easier and questions were more content based than the nclex rn exam. So whoever has taken the PN exam, the NCLEX RN exam is more challenging due to more responsibility of the RN.
