Be positive! Ive read a lot about the PVT giving a false negative to some people. Don't lose hope yet! I will pray for us!!!

Congrats!!!! :) Very true. It isn't fun spending my weekend like this worrying Thanks for the input though, makes me feel a little better lol

Although I have not survived the NCLEX yet myself I can tell you what I did and what I've heard.. Make sure you have a great knowledge base before doing practise questions. I took a course that focused solely on mastering concepts and it was an amazing refresher of content from 4 years of nursing school. After you have mastered the content, Uworld is an AWESOME investment. I wish I would have got it sooner and was able to use it longer before I wrote. It is setup exactly how the nclex is, which was nice to get comfortable with beforehand. It gives awesome rationales which is a great study tool itself. I am not too sure if Kaplan is similar or not with the questions, but i think the most important part is not necessarily your marks on the practise tests, but if your taking the time to read and understand the rationales. Keep in mind I don't think anyone goes into the exam knowing absolutely everything-thats impossible. Be confident in yourself and your knowledge. You graduated nursing! And if you really don't feel prepared, reschedule your exam. There will come a time when you feel ready. Goodluck :)

I hear that too.. it sucks this exam messes with our heads so much!! I will try to relax this weekend. Thanks :)

Hello everyone June 15th I wrote my nclex after studying for around 2 months. I felt prepared and I knew the content very well. Used the RN-mastery app for the iPhone because it was cheaper then ended up using Uworld with a friend for about a week before my exam which I found extremely helpful. I was averaging 60-75% on uworld, which I read was good, especially since the questions were very tough at times. I went into the exam feeling confident but I left feeling terrible about it. Looking back, I know there are some questions I forsure got wrong (maybe 5-7 forsure wrong), and I had a lot of questions that were very vague and very challenging for me, I made MANY educated guesses it feels like. 10-15 SATA, a drag and drop, and several prioritization. There were times the questions got a bit easier (in my opinion), and then they would get hard again, it was hard to gauge how I was doing. Once I got to 75 and it did not shut off, I was a little nervous but also happy to know I was still in it. I stopped looking at what question number I was at after 78, but it shut off after an additional 5-6 questions (maybe question 85-88?) and immediately I thought it shut off because I was doing terrible. The one thing is, I really believe I got the last question correct.. What I think is, why would it fail me at 85ish questions, when I got the last one correct? You would think if I got it wrong, it would ask me more questions, etc. On top of everything, I can't even do the pearson vue trick because they had trouble getting my picture the first time and I had to return the next day to have my picture redone, they are working on getting it attached to my file, but it is now the weekend and the pearson vue trick is only saying my results are on hold. Does anyone have any input on whether the last question being correct or not has any indication of passing?
