I am just freaking out, I took the test today and it was hard I felt so lost had to stop in the middle and pray. I feel & felt thoughout that I just wasted 200.00 and the closer I got to the min. number of question the more nervous I got then when I hit next on the 85th question it stopped...instant tears, I just knew at that moment I failed. I forced myself to do the Pearson trick and not sure if I did it correctly or what exactly I am looking for. I signed in to Pearson, and it said under status: delivery successful then in red at the bottom it says your exam results are not aval. at this time. So I clicked on register and did the process and it says I am already reg. and can't reg for one at this time????? What does this mean?? And of course it is friday and the quick results are 2 BUSINESS DAYS that is a lifetime for me at the moment.....I mean I have actually given myself a migraine.....!

I find I have little sympathy for people who are so worked up about waiting 2 days for results. Sorry, we took 2 days of testing and waited 6-8 weeks for our results.

Every time I see one of these threads I want to scream 'oh grow up and put your big girl pants on.'

Life is not about instantaneous results, it is how we do over the long haul.

I've heard that the NCLEX is almost designed to leave you feeling horrible. That's not its intent, but it does seem like its a result of the test's structure. I don't think we are supposed to talk about the test's structure, but the prep material put out by the testing company itself has some useful info along these lines.

Good luck

Merlee- What's the point of your post? This is an exciting and anxious time for a lot of us new grads. A, "good luck!" would have been sufficient for her. Good grief. Don't come into the thread if you're not interested. Why are you in the student section any way?

Were I realize you had to wait for your results, my feeling worked up about waiting for results has nothing to do with growing up and putting on my big girl pants. I have put every thing into this as I am sure you did as well. The minute those systems shut down it knows if you passed or failed, The wait is frustrating to all and coming on here to share that frustration with fellow persons that have taken the test before us and asking for advise is a method of coping and for that I don't feel badly. You are correct life isn't about being instantaneous results but would bet there isn't one person that hasnt taken that test and been worried or concerned or nervous to get those results. It to me isn't fair that some states have to wait 6-8 weeks or results and others don't and I am sorry but to me 2 days is a life time with my future is riding on this since I can't go back to my former position in construction & I am waiting to pass to be able to obtain a nursing job in hopes it will still be there me.

I took my NREMT-B at Pearson and that test too uses a algorithm like the NCLEX. Mine stopped at 76 and before I left the city limits, I had an email stating I passed. You'll be fine. Sounds like you passed to me. Congratulations!
