I took my nclex yesterday Monday July 11. To prepare for it I used Uworld and Kaplan. I hated Kaplan because the rationales were terrible, it was very discouraging and I did not feel like I was gaining any knowledge. I did all of the uworld question bank and towards the end I was getting much better at it which made me feel like I was getting ready for my nclex.
Although my exam shut off at 75 I was positive I failed. I went to my car and started hysterically crying bc in my mind there was no way I passed. I had less than 10 select all that apply and my last 5 questions were very simple. I did not feel comfortable answering any of the questions bc although they were general most of the answer choices were so similar. Sometimes I couldn't even narrow it down to 2 answers. My boyfriend took the test with me at the same time and he finished at 75 questions as well but he had 30 select all that apply and his last question was also select all that apply. So I was sure I failed! we both tried the Pearson Vue Trick after we received an email from Pearson about 30 minutes after we finished the exam and it did not let us register but I still was sure I failed!
This morning I checked the board of nursing and both of our names were up there with our license number!! I still can't believe I passed but I feel so releaved! So if you don't get a lot of select all that apply and come out feeling terrible don't be discouraged! there is hope!!

Hi mel! I took my NCLEX on Monday as well. What state did you take it in? I am freaking out because I have not seen my name on my BON however I got the good pop up when I did it this morning around 9AM....
Oh and Congratulations to the both of you guys!!!!!
hey! I live in NJ I was surprised at how fast they put it up because I've heard that they only update it once a week. The good pop up seems to be very accurate though, I'm sure you passed!

Congrats
I took my NCLEX July 13 and found out today I failed
í ½í¸
I did NCSBN, mastery, Saunders and Kaplan questions
I am going to do Uworld
honestly I feel I did not set a good study plan and there were questions that threw me off!!! I had EKGs! And I have all kinds of pictures
I feel defeated right now
I'm sorry you failed! I highly recommend uworld. The set up looks just like nclex and I got a few questions that were very similar to nclex. Uworld also has ekg strips and many pictures! don't feel discouraged, nclex is definitely difficult!
I felt I was good question wise but there was content I had no idea
there was a lot of pharm!
I am going to start uworld Monday
I also got the lacarty PDA on its way
cannot let time go on. I have to retest
