OMG!!! 75 Questions!?!?

Published

Sooo...I just got back from my NCLEX, and now I don't know what to think. I got about 4 SATA, 4 calculations, maybe one infection control question, and about 6 medications. It was the most bizarre test I have ever taken. I felt like I narrowed down each question down to 2 answers. I went in with the mentality that I would get 265 questions, and when it stopped at 75...I almost flipped out!!

I never understood what people meant when they said they wanted the computer keep going, but now I totally know. I'm so freaked out because I just knew that I would get a bunch of SATA, and everytime a math questions popped up I freaked out. Please pray for me and now begins the 2 day wait...I will keep you all updated.

Oh yeah...all last night I was up with the worst stomach ache that I think is from eating Chinese food, so I got horrible sleep, and the only thing I could even keep on my stomach (due to diarrhea...I know TMI) was pepto bismal. That's just a side note though, just thought you guys should know that lol.

And...chime in if you've had a similar testing experience PLEASE :typing

I took the exam yesterday july 21,2008

It stopped at 75... I frozed when the computer screen went blank ... i couldn't recall anymore what appeared next did it say "you've finished answering the nclex "i dont really recall...even while answering the survey i just couldn't believe it was over, like you i wanted to answer more questions. when i got home i opened up my reviewers and searched for the answers for last 2 questions i had hopefully though i think i got them right. but i know that it's not a gurantee that's why im still feeling nervous right now.

pls whisper a prayer for me too

Goodluck and God bless us all:saint::saint:

I can't even remember my last question! Now that I think about it...I can remember maybe one lol. Well...all I have is time, and I need to find some things to do to keep me busy. Those math questions are really throwing me for a loop. What kind of questions did you get WinterFairyRN? Best of luck to you!!

I took mines on the 18th and I prayed that I got over 75 because I knew I had a chance. When it stopped on 75 I wanted to cry. I got about 5 SATA, 4 math questions, 6 meds question and the rest was delegation and infection control. I just knew I failed because to me the questions are weren't getting harder. but you know what on Sunday i found out I passed so HANG IN THERE AND GOOD LUCK , I'M PRAYING THAT U PASSED
