OMG!!! 265 questions

Published

I took the NCLEX today and got all 265. I have read previous postings and I know it can go either way. I just felt like after 200, I could not answer anymore. My brain was fried. There were so many questions that I could not use the Kaplan strategies. I dont feel good about it. I have already prepared my husband that I am taking it again. I just cant believe how hard it is. There was so much stuff that I did not recognize. Why do they have to make it so hard? My brain hurts right now! I think I am having a CVA! Ooh, I had a questions about that!! LOL!! :banghead::scrying::crying2::yawn::redbeathe:no:

To me it seemed worse than Kaplan. There were some that were like Saunders but majority were hard. If I have to retake it than I will have to! I just dont want to go through that again, it was terrible!

Dont say that...You will pass...Im pretty sure you were really prepared...If they were hard, then you aimed for the difficult ones, which is what you want to get...Hopefully, before you know, you will be posting you passed...

I felt just like you did...questions were way harder than Kaplan and I couldn't use the decision tree very much. I kept hearing and reading that Kaplan/NCLEX were really similar so I thought I'd have a great edge. I cried before, during and after the test because I was blown away by the difficulty. In the end...I passed so keep your chin up. Also, literally everyone I know that has taken the NCLEX walks out of it feeling like they failed, you are definitely not alone :)

oh, now Im scared...Im taking my NCLEX next week and everyone told me not to worry since "NCLEX is easier thank Kaplan..." I cant figure out that decision tree, I cant answer qbank questions with it...:( still, Im hopeful....

Don't be scared...some people think it's the "same"/easier and some people think it's harder..it's probably just a matter of perception. There will be, however, things that you don't know...and that's ok...and that's where strategy comes in. Kaplan strategies are excellent and they will help you tremendously. Their review questions are the best I've ever used and they come quite close..but I wouldn't say they are the "same." That said, it's the closest you will come and I think they're the best review out there. Just keep doing questions and you will do great..stay positive! Mind over matter!!!
