I took the NCLEX this morning at 8am. It shut off at 75Q and I would have bet my entire lifes savings that I failed. I genuinely felt confident on about 6 questions, the rest were really unexpected and seemed very irrelevant, nothing that I studied, hardly any medications, and seemed "below the passing standard." I cried for 2 hours. I did the PVT and got the good pop up but was convinced it was just because 24 hours hadn't gone by and I was one of the few who get the good pop up and end up failing.
I decide to check the status of my license on my states department of consumer affairs website. It said pending (as I figured because this usually takes some time). About 30 minutes later I check again (because I'm crazy!) and to my surprise there it is: MY LICENSE #, REGISTERED PROF. NURSE, ACTIVE!!!!
I wanted to share my experience because after the questions I was getting I for sure thought I failed after reading forums of needing a lot of SATAs, etc. Don't listen to it! Every test is different! It is okay to feel terrible after the exam, I think everyone does- try to distract yourself and as corny as it is BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Good luck to all of you!

Hey everyone,
I took the NCLEX this morning at 8am. It shut off at 75Q and I would have bet my entire lifes savings that I failed. I genuinely felt confident on about 6 questions, the rest were really unexpected and seemed very irrelevant, nothing that I studied, hardly any medications, and seemed "below the passing standard."
