Post NCLEX freak out!

Published

So, I took my NCLEX Wednesday at 1400. After 40 minutes of testing my computer shut off at 75 questions. I had a lot of select all that apply and prioritization questions! I also had 2 EKGs. I am horrified that I failed but I feel like everyone feels like that! I did the Pearson trick like 35 hours after I took it and got the good pop up! What do you guys think? I'm FREAKING OUT!

I think everyone secretly hopes that the computer will shut off at 75 questions and then panics when it does! I also think the Pearson trick is a total crock. (There was no such thing when I took NCLEX.) Try to relax and enjoy yourself. Freaking out now won't do you any good. I know, easier said than done! Right? I remember waiting for my results. It was grueling. I don't know how the nurses who took the two day paper & pencil test and had to wait months for results did it...72 hours was long enough for me. Best of luck!

Keep busy to keep your mind off it. I did lots of random things after my test anything to avoid sitting and thinking. Bet you did great though!

I think freaking out over NCLEX is too common and unnecessary. But I understand it.

Yes, please let us know. I'm curious since you went thru in 40 minutes. That's really fast.

Yeah, I definitely will. I'm honestly not surprised that I finished that fast because when I took my HESI it was a 180 questions that I finished in an hour and a half. I've always been a really fast test taker,I should know my results in just a few hours

Ok. You sound like me, and we are few. Fast test takers who pass! I finished in 50 minutes with 75. Looking forward to hearing your good news![emoji93]
