It is fascinating!

You def passed. Congratulations!

There have been false negatives on occasion but they are very rare. I think you most likely failed. But whether or not you did it too early, I'm not sure. I'm 95% sure though. But don't beat yourself up. Just keep studying and take her again. You were right on the line. Very close. But I'll pray for a false negative. Hope for the best but expect the worst. Good luck.

You've got plenty of time. You'll be fine. You're doing well!

Absolutely. Are you a good test taker? Do you know all the diseases that accompany each system? And know your lab values of course. Do you study the rationales?

Ladies, try the PVT trick. I'm a big supporter of it. From what I've seen it's completely accurate. Completely. If you can't wait for your results. Good luck!

If you put your credit card in and submitted all the way to the end and got the "our records indicate you are already signed up to this exam..." then you passed for sure. Congratulations!

Perhaps people who did bad never posted their scores. You did well on nclex! Kaplan probably helped you!

Omg yeah. I was tempted to start clicking answers towards the end. Also knew I had to watch the time. My dad was waiting for me for 6 hours lol. We were exhausted and hungry as hell. After some food we felt much better and I started to accept my perceived failure.

Lol I did horrible [relatively speaking] and was on the line through question 265 after 6 hours! Like I've been doing all my life.... I procrastinate. Yes i looked at most 300 questions on the app but it was over a 2 month time period. Yes i bought Saunders but never touched it, aside from reading the first 2 pages. What I did was cram the last several days and memorize/study this 35 page study guide that's passed around on online forums. Thought if I had that down I'd be a-ok. Nope. I felt like it didn't help me at all. I really should have done thousands of questions AND have read Saunders months in advance. Or at least have studied the areas I'm weak in. So I was afraid nonetheless. I've always crammed. I got by decently but never fully excelled because of it. But I am very smart. Lol- I also assumed that I'd be out before 100 questions and only for an hour and a half. So the stress came from the complexity of the questions, the fact that it never shut off and went on forever, the fact that I was sleep deprived and stressed and had to read each question several times, and for the fact that it felt like I was getting most of them wrong. I also had a crap ton of SATA and priority. Single choice questions were a rarity. But hey, it ended up turning out in my favor and I'm very greatful for it. I expect myseld to be on top of everything as a nurse.

You were right on the line! So you can easily pass next time. Try to focus on areas that you don't know. And you absolutely, positively, have to know your Abc's, maslows hierarchy, and acute/chronic! This will help you with priority and sata. Know medications, unique side effect for medications, what not to take with..... and know lab values and side effects of abnormal lab values. Know the key features of chronic conditions like copd and emphysema and the acute nature of pneumonia. Practice OB and peds questions. But most of all, practice taking questions. Understand the style of questions and what each question is asking you. Don't get sidetracked by extra information. And I took all 265 questions too. I understand the pain believe me. It took me six hours and I was devastated. Luckily I passed, but you were very close to where I was so don't fret. I could have easily failed too. It's a hard test. But the one thing I noticed that I did well was using all my mind power on each question (give or take a couple lol..... ) and giving it my best shot, despite being stressed. You need to focus on that question as if its the only question. You can definitely pass your next test. Promise

Considering you got the good PVT pop-up and the fact that you shut off at 75 questions after studying your butt off. Uh yeah you passed. No questions. Congrats! But you shouldn't mess around with fate like that. Didn't you want to start working?

Not sure. Did you ask Google? I'm sure the licenses get updated randomly through the week. I know PA updates a handful of licenses a couple times a week and the timer had nothing to do with when I finished. Mine was updated the next morning at 6am and I had completed the test at 9pm the night before. But obv your question was for mass. Hopefully not long! You can always do the Pearson Vue trick if you can't wait long. It has a very high accuracy. Good luck!

Definitely depends on the person. I thought it was harder, but that could be because I was sleep deprived and stressed out....and wasted my time on a study guide that didn't help at all. In hindsight i would have practiced questions. And yes, that NCLEX mastery app is great. Regardless I still passed. But was on the line all the way to the end. I got lucky. How many questions did you have?

Thanks so much. It feels great

Thanks bookchick. Nice screen name!

Sorry... Didn't think anyone was going to reply. I'm new! It was similar but different. I'm trying to put my finger on it. It was harder than nursing school exams, but similar to how they prep you with ATI, or whatever your school uses. But it's almost like you can't prepare for it. The questions get harder and are very application based. You have to know the knowledge behind things. I was ill prepared. Practicing more nclex style questions would have helped me better. Also memorizing lab values and medications etc

I know there are many people in the past that were distraught after taking all 265 questions on the NCLEX-RN. Well I'm making it known that you can still pass at 265. I was less prepared than I thought I was. I studied that 35 page study guide that gets thrown around these parts and a couple hundred NCLEX app questions. And I crammed. I also assumed that I was going to take at most an hour and a half and told my dad to be back by then lol. Oh man was I wrong! I began to lose hope as time wore on and each question went by. This was hard! Holy SATA! And priority! Ouch. I thought I was getting most of them wrong. 2 hours go by, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours! And I almost didn't have enough time to finish! I finished 265 about 1.5 minutes before 6 hours and after 265 it alerts me that I'm taking the research section and it should take 30 min. I was like.... "heck no!" And the questions continued to count up... 266, 267....um what? Times up! WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! I had a mixed bag of emotions, but I was pretty ticked off. I knew I had failed. No questions. I even broke the news to mom and dad. Oh my dad lol. He was like "omg! You told me 1.5 hours!"... But he was cool. I started at 3:20 and ended at 9:20! I was tired, sleep deprived, and starving. Had some food, felt better. Read up on allnurses.com. Saw how everyone had similar experiences. And there were 265ers just like myself, who knew they failed but ended up passing,.... hmm, could I have possibly passed? I did the pearsonvue trick the next morning after a good night's sleep. I knew I'd have to take it again anyway. But to my astonishment I got the good pop-up. That didn't solve the world's problems or anything like that. But it took the edge off. Lo and behold, several hours later I checked my state boards website for my license and it was ACTIVATED THAT MORNING! I had passed! The moral of the story is that you can pass at 265! You never know for sure. And yes the PVT is accurate! Good luck everyone!

The good pop-up is nearly 100%. The bad pop-up can apparently be a false neg on rare occasions.

I thought it was hard as hell. So many factors to into it. Like how prepared we are, what areas we are strong in. But no, I def thought it was much harder than school exams. But I passed. So who knows.

Yes it's nearly 100% accurate. It's amazing, I for sure thought that I has failed. Like I knew I failed and was so distraught. But then I started reading up about how everyone feels the same and how everyone tries the PVT trick and usually get the good pvt pop-up and pass. I just had to try it the next morning when I felt much better. Surely enough, I got the good pop-up. Obviously still nervous, but it relieved a huge chunk of my stress. And surely enough, I passed. It def works.

Understand what the questions are asking you. Don't get confused by the needless information in the questions. When it comes to priority questions always make sure you run through your Abc's, acute/chronic, and and maslows. Which patient is the most emergent. It's usually the patient with a chance of not being able to breathe, or possibility of bleeding out, or a clot. Also, which patient has an acute illness over someone with a chronic illness like copd. But a tricky one is the exacerbated chronic patient who has been wheezing non stop then all of a sudden stopped. That's a potentially emergent patient and they would need to be seen immediately. You def want a good knowledge base. I struggled with the endocryn system, liver and renal systems as they are my biggest weakness. I should have reviewed them more. Make sure you know the diseases for each system and the nursing implications and techniques. Hope this helps a little bit. That test is hard. It's supposed to be. But you need your complete attention and critical thinking skills for every question even if it feels like you are getting every one wrong. It's designed that way. I was on the line until 265! I took 6 hours! I passed, yes, but I understand the stress. Believe me. Good luck. You'll make it.
