Does anybody know how long would they posted your Ca NCLEX results? I took it on Monday d 15th, it's been two days and I don' see my name on the website. Does it mean that i was 95% failed?
2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course?

3. Did your SON offer any testing (ERI, ATI, HESI)?
No, just Kaplan.
4. How long did you wait for results of the test, or are you still waiting?
approximately 72hrs.
5. What were your thoughts coming out of the test (total disbelief, certainty you had failed, confident you had passed)?
It took me all of 40min to answer 75 questions. I walked out of there somewhat in disbelief. I remember thinking "this is what I studied so hard for?" It seemed kind of hard to believe that it all boiled down to 75 questions. I felt fairly confident walking out. I knew that if it shuts off at 75 you either did really good or really bad, but the fact that I answered the majority of my questions with confidence made me feel better. The worst part was waiting for my results, and beginning to question if I had passed.

this is a doable test but i can see where nerves can get in the way of doing your best. take your time with each question. i never read the answers until i had one already in my head. then i would look at the nclex answers and go from there. remember, the nclex hospital may be different than what you see practiced at your facility.
2. what study materials did you use? did you take a test review course?
none. my hospital offered a free week-long review class.
3. did your son offer any testing (eri, ati, hesi)? my son used hesi and ati. we had to pass all exit exams for each subject. i did a total of 5000 questions throughout school.
4. how long did you wait for results of the test, or are you still waiting?
24 hours.
5. what were your thoughts coming out of the test (total disbelief, certainty you had failed, confident you had passed)?
i was thinking that i had failed because it was the easiest test i had taken in ns!!!
