Okay took NCLEX-RN today failed....

[BZou, BSN, RN]

So I went there to take my exam, I am known for finishing exams faster than others so long story short... The computer shut me down to the survey at 75 questions. Had a decent amount of SATA in the middle and a couple in the end. The last two questions I answered were priority questions (not sure if its important or not).

Now all and all I probably spent an hour in the exam on those 75 questions. So an hour later when I get home, I tried the PV trick as everyone is telling me to do it (as in classmates). Well according to this I pretty much failed because it took me the CC page. And yes I checked to see if it was delivered successfully which it was.

I mean I gotta admit I am feeling bummed out; not the end of the world mind you, but definitely bummed out. Worst part is because I was one of the top students in my university, every classmate I talked to kept saying "You are smart" and "You are a great test taker." And "There is no way you can fail." So this bums me out even more because now I kinda feel like a disappointment when expectations were there.

So other than kaplan and saunders does anyone have any other suggestions for studying for my next go? I mean I still am going to check in 48 hours for quick results just to be sure but from what I read its almost definite that I failed sooo any advice would be appreciated.

i would definitely wait because i actually just read a thread that said she tried the trick and went strait to CC page and she still passed!

as far as feeling like you let your cheerleaders down, that's ok! you're still graduated, still smart and still made it through at the top of your class. no one, no nclex can take that away! (:

i used hurst and i thought it was a nice little foundation to lay while your studying for the exam. then i did questions and kaplan q&a review videos. i love the kaplan lady!
