I just took my NCLEX today. I got 99 questions and I feel 99% sure that I failed. I have read a lot of postings, so it was encouraging to see that sometimes your gut feeling can be wrong.
I am very frustrated because I did everything I thought was humanly possible to prepare. I attended a 4 week, 8 class Kaplan study course (in which I excelled during), I did over 1500 practice questions, I read an entire 600 page book full of information, and I tried to learn my medications and lab values, too!
I felt like none of my preparation mattered today. Every time a new question would appear I would feel completely confused. I would try to rationalize, but always found myself in the end saying, "I don't know" and choosing an answer.
Today I find myself in major need of encouragement from others who have gone through this before and maybe had a similar situation (& hopefully passed!!!)
I felt as though I was getting a ton of questions that should have been easy, but really threw me because they were topics I felt unfamiliar with. I should get my results by Saturday morning, and I'm really nervous because if I were to go solely on my gut instinct, I would be certain that I failed... :uhoh21:
Dont worry yourself too much. Easy for me to say cause i found out that i passed!!! You did what was possible. Now get some rest, eat well and get some fresh air. When you check your results it will say "Pass".

That is a HUGE amount of prep-work...I seriously doubt that you failed the exam.
