Well, I most definitely wish you the best too. The waiting is the hardest part. All my classmates applied to states that participate in quick results. I think I would take this a lot better if I could know how I did now so I could have a few days to be depressed and grieve and then get over it. I feel like I am already in the grieving process and I haven't even found out my results, haha. I am a negative person to begin with (perfectionism is not a fun thing at all), so this is really tough on me. Thanks for all the information. I will definitely keep it in mind. I hope I didn't fail at 75. I know it is pretty rare. I took a Kaplan course and did all the QTs. According to my last QT score, I was ready to take the exam. After the NCLEX, I told myself I either did really well or really bad. It would be embarrassing for me to fail at 75 questions. If that is the case, I must have done something VERY wrong. How you tried a review course? And where from California will you practice? Let us know what happens! Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Ugh. I am very frustrated California doesn't participate in "quick results?" If anyone took the NCLEX on this day, are your names up on the BON website? I am thinking it is too early, but I am making myself sick here. I wish there was more I can do. I know pretty much everyone walks out of the test feeling sick and like a failure. I felt alright walking out, but as the day went on, I felt worse. My test stopped at 75 questions. Towards the end, I was consistently getting SATA. I am horrible at those questions. One question was actually a pharm. and SATA all in one about how oral hypoglycemics work on the body. I felt myself guessing towards the end of the test because of the SATA and pharm. questions. Pharm. is not my strong subject either. At the end, I felt I should have studied more content. I took Kaplan and definitely feel I know how to answer the difficult questions. Let's face it...you still have to somewhat know the content before you answer the question correctly. Sometimes you can guess, other times you cannot. I cannot stop thinking about this test. I have always been one who has been extremely hard on myself. An extreme perfectionist. I was second in my graduating class and graduated with a 3.98 in nursing school. I know even straight A students fail the NCLEX just by reading these forums, but I still don't feel right about this. Worse thing about this...so far everyone in my class has passed. One of my best friends in class passed even though he only practiced answering 300 questions. He did no other studying. It makes me sick. I guess I will just have to wait and see though. Possibly a few weeks with California. I am living in Iowa right now, so I will have to wait a few extra days for snail mail. Sorry for the rant. This has been eating at me for days now.
