I took the NCLEX for NY state last July 6, 2017. I stopped at 75 after 4 hours and 40 minutes of taking the test. I spent at least 3-5 minutes for each item analyzing every option. When I finished question number 75, I got this message saying that I am about to take the NCSBN special research exam and it said that is not counted in the official nclex. I just want to get it over with so I was just clicking away on all the questions. It was around 25 questions and took me more than 30 minutes to finish it. After the exam, I called my friend who took the nclex earlier and I asked her if she got the research questions too, she said she did not. I was confused since I thought everyone was supposed to take it after the exam. When I got home, I googled what the NCSBN research questions is all about. It is said that it is only given to selected students (why meee??) and that it is going to start at July. Today, I got my quick results. It said that I failed. 😞 I was just wondering if quick results counted the ncsbn questions. I noticed during the test that after question 75, the first question in the research section is labelled as question 76 up until the end at question 100. I don't want to believe that I failed the test, I'm really optimistic about this. Should I just wait for the official results? I hope someone can help me with this one because it seems that I'm the only one having this dilemma. Thank you so much in advance!
