First, I'd like to thank this site and everyone who supports one another during their nclex drama, whether good or bad. I took my NCLEX for the second time yesterday after the exam i was exhausted, nervous, tired. I came back and just played around the computer and bumped into this site and i'm so glad i did. It has truly calmed down my nerves and I feel like i'm not alone out here..so thank you to all! Well, as i mentioned, i took my exam yesterday for the 2nd time and again, i got 265 q. The first time, I didn't get a good night sleep the niht before, and i woke up the morning of my exam just feeling ..not good. When i got to the test center, my throat started hurting and while taking my exam, my throat just got worse by the hour and not to mention, i was hoping to finish at 75, but nope. All i kept doing was looking at the number of questions and hoping it'd stop , and I kept saying, i'm not going to pass because i got the max number of questions. Not only that, but i totally ran out of time..i had less than 40 min to finish the last 65 questions and i totally totally guessed. i was clicking away cuz i figured you don't get penalized for guessing. I'm surprised the computer didn't log me off before 265. I litereally finished the last question on the last second i think. the result...failied. i cried when i found out for days. Yesterday, i wsn't sick thank goodness, but...i did finish all 265 without running out of time, sooo waht worries me now is that, if i dont' pass this exam my thoughts are..well..soo it done'st matter if i guess or actually attempt the questions. hee hee :-)....i'm nervous! I did read past forums about the 265 and how they passed and it makes me feel better. I feel confident, but...at times, i'm nervous and i'm like, well, if i dont' pass, i have to stay strong and try again you know. However, i found this second time around , the questions were soooo much harder than the first exam. The first 75 i swear i thought i failed and i was waiting for the comp to kick me out. then , theh questions were more fair i thought. but boy, oeverall i thought it was tougher. has anyone taken the nclex more than once and received the 265 Q again? thanks everyone and sory that this is so long.
