https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx I found out about 36 hours after I took the exam that I passed by looking up my license. (DID NOT COST ME 8 bucks!) I passed in an hour and 15 minutes with 75 questions. I walked out the test not feeling confident, but I think that may be normal. My class so far is 100% according to my knowledge. I am not sure how they proved competence with me with the questions I was given, but yeah listen to the prior post. You must stay calm doing the exam.. you have plenty of time to panic after you leave. I too thought about if i was doing good or bad.. looking at questions wondering how my line looked .. was I above the level of competence or below? I got so many SATA and I do poorly on those, but I hear that is a good thing to get a lot of those.

Thank God I found out about this site: https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx In short I did not have to wait 48 hours or pay Pearson vue! I found out mid day yesterday that I am an official RN! OMG it feels so good. I ripped up my ATI review book, but I feel like I should do something more productive with my Kaplan and Saunders book. It feels really good that for the first time in my life I am putting the books down... well actually I am probably going to read a few books before going to work, but all the studying I did in nursing school has paid off. I believe it is time for me to add RN to my user name.

I got the good pop up! I am starting to feel positive. The test was pretty challenging, but I finished an in hour and 15 minutes, which has added to my anxiety.. I find out at 9:15 tomorrow for real. I cannot wait! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! YOU did it you are an official RN! I am so happy for you and I hope to join you tomorrow.

Hey, so the computer cut off at 75. I am freaking OUT! I had a bunch of SATA. What is this pearson vue trick. I am so scared. I hope I passed. My fingers are crossed for you. Ugh Saturday is going to be hard.

Thank you! I am such a speedstar and I need to learn to focus on accuracy!!!!

Taking the test in 2 days. I really enjoyed the posting about rereading the question and the answers and making sure the answer fits the question. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM I browse through the question missing KEY words.

Hey, I test Thursday. I have pretest jitters, but I want to take the test and get it over. I feel very positive, but I am so scared. So I imagine you feel that way too. I was an A- student in college. My final qbank score from Kaplan is 67% I got at 70% on both the diagnostic and readiness test for Kaplan, by the way you can read the rationales, but since this test is tomorrow for you I think it is important that you REST! I truly believed that studying for this test has prepared me for being a nurse and put confidence in me that nursing school could not. Please let us know when you pass! Have confidence in yourself! READ THE QUESTION and KNOW what it is asking. USE THE MILLIONS OF RATIOHNALES floating in your head. This EXAM is a neccessary evil, I see it now. You are taking it to show that you are competent to be a nurse! THIS IS YOUR PATIENTS in these questions. HELP YOUR PATIENT!!!!!! I hope that helps.. I don't know if it is good to take advice from someone who is in the same boat.
