hey everyone! so, i took the NCLEX-RN this afternoon at 2pm. definitely not feeling good about it at all:dead: i am terrified to find out my score but also DYING to know of course. i was stopped at 78 questions and i feel like there were TOO many that i was absolutely unsure of. I've been reading about the previous experiences of other people and know that there is pretty much no way to predict or determine how well you did based upon the types of questions you were given but if it means anything, i had a lot of select all questions in the beginning and toward the end. i also had a lot of drag and drop questions and a lot of priority questions. but i feel like there were just SO many that i had no clue about! and medications that i had never even heard of! and i'm almost positive i got the last question wrong so i feel like it was just like screw it she sucks and isn't getting anymore questions. and i went in there (not bursting at the seams with confidence because i was scared outta my mind from the start) but confident that i was well prepared. boy did that balloon get deflated quickly:sorry: i am extremely tempted to try the PV trick but have held off for fear of possibly wasting 200 dollars. anyway, i know all there is left to do is wait so i guess i'm just looking for some encouraging words seeing as how i feel pretty terrible about it right now and i don't know many others nurses so no one i talk to really understands. has anyone had a similar situation around the same number of questions or does anyone have any feedback?? also when is it possible to check Nursys for your name? anything is appreciated!! feeling pretty miserable thank you SO much

Use an empty but valid debit card. If u stopped at 78 you either did very well or you were doing so poorly that it didnt make sense to throw more questions at you. I failed with 265 questions and I was near passing across the board. My guess is you passed. Goodluck.

I took one yesterday and still waiting for the result. Mine stopped at 75 question. About 10 SATA and some drag-drop, 1 ECG, some priorities, no math. I've kept myself busy and not think about. But there is no way to NOT think about. I took my dog for a hr hike this morning, doing yard work, and gave my dog a bath, and took her for another walk. It felt like I couldn't stay home otherwise I'm gonna get crazy. Good luck for me. God please bless me.

If the anxiety and stress is killing you, which I assume it is because you created this post, I would suggest to use a valid credit card (change the expiration date to an invalid one) or use a pre-paid card (like I did, it had like $1.50 on it). You won't use any money that way to find out. It is up to you if you want to do it. Also, if it is before 24 hours since you have taken the exam, someone will say that you should wait until after 24 hours but heck, you can do it before 24 hours and after. Good Luck!
The anxiety was killing me so I did it. We all understand how you feel.

Me too. I took my exam last Feb 16 at 8am. I stopped at 136. I got like 15 SATAs, tons of medications plus 2 drag and drop, 1 ekg and 1 exhibit, the rest are all prioritization and delegation. It was quite hard like seriously but Im sure I got my last 2 questions right. Buuuut yea, hopefully I pass this nclex rn but Im still not sure what would my results be. Im just hoping and praying cos this is my 4th attempt. Goodluck to you!
thank you guys i really appreciate your responses! it's so nice knowing that there are other people out there going through the same stressful time. i couldn't wait any longer so i took the advice and tried the pearson vue trick, and i got the "good" pop-up! i felt at ease for about 2 minutes but i'm still a bit skeptical about it. i've tried it about 4 different times in the last 2 hours of course like the crazy person i am and i've gotten the pop-up every time. praying that it is correct and praying for you others waiting for results! we'll get through it!!
The only thing I can do right now is playing candy crush and read people's response from this blog. Please bless all of us
I PASSED!!! RN,BSN is right after my name
Congratulations!!!!

Hi everyone! I took my exam today and felt horrible after! I did all 265 questions. I tried the PVT but changed the expiration date for fear of getting charged the $200. I did get the good pop up though...i still feel uneasy. Do you think the PVT is still true even if I used an invalid expiration date?

@ohhitsjojo its a trick but it works for everyone and for me! LOL I took my NCLEX RN on Feb 9 and I had 265 questions. I did the PVT after 24 hours and got a good pop up! 48 hours later I purchased the quick results and the status says PASS í ½í¸Š got my license in the mail after 5 days í ½í¸Š
I don't know why there's a lot of question marks on my post above!
