Passed the NCLEX!

Published

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." 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!

At first I did the live review with Kaplan at my school after graduation and didn't find it helpful, after it was over I started doing the question trainers and again wasn't getting much out of it-rationales were terrible. So I switched to Uworld, finished all the questions in under two weeks with an average of 70%, assessment one high chance of passing, and assessment two very high chance of passing. I jotted down notes from the rationales that I thought were important and read them the day before my exam. I supplemented my practice questions with my notes from nursing school (including index cards full of drugs!) and the ATI Comprehensive NCLEX-RN review book (ATI was incorporated into our program, my predictor score was 99%).
