passed in 75, just relax!

Published

Took the NCLEX in Arizona on the 24th and found out today via the phone lines that I passed. My advice to all who are about to take it is to read the questions carefully! Don't be distracted by clever little words in the answers that are meant to throw you off. Identify nursing concepts in the answers that do not pertain to the question. They may sound accurate but do not apply. Take your time and concentrate on scoring well early. I took 2 hours for the first 75 questions. Do not try to figure out if questions are getting easier or more difficult. Stay focused! To control anxiety I hung out by the pool where I stayed, got a good night sleep and ate a nutritious breakfast. I went into the test with a "bring it on" attitude and made sure I was breathing properly throughout the test. Remember to "work" through the answers. Don't be discouraged if the answer doesn't pop out at you. You have knowledge, use it. My test was a mix of everything. Know your labs and concentrate on the main meds. Safety is important! After the test do not try to look up everything, it will only make you crazy :uhoh21: Just stay cool :coollook: knowing that you gave it your best and leave it in Gods hands. :p Now excuse me I have some celebrating to do! :rotfl: Many blessings to all!

I took the test today and the computer shut off at 75 questions...i don't feel good about it...in fact I have shed a few tears...i did ok in school...and scored above average on the HESI exam...I am just not sure about this test though...do you know of anyone who failed with 75 questions?...I figure i either did really well(though i don't feel like i did) or really bad...feeling quite discouraged at this time
