I logged onto the Penn Board of nursing website and found my RN license number so I guess that means I passed. I had to keep checking it to be sure. After getting only the minimum number of questions, I thought I failed horribly.Thank goodness I can be finished with studying for awhile (at least until I begin grad school)!!! Everyone on this site has been great, thanks again!!!!

Anything above a 70% on the CD is considered good. As for the psych questions, everyone has difficulty knowing exactly how to answer them in the beginning. Just keep doing questions and after awhile you'll get a pretty good sense of the answer they are looking for. MOst of the NCLEX has to deal with therapeutic communication. Keep up the good work!

Ok, I know that there are a lot of threads about the NCLEX, but everyone seems to be giving such great support and advice that I hope I can get help with my questions. I took the exam on thursday and like most people, I forgot to breathe until I was halfway in and things started getting fuzzy. The exam shut off at 75 questions and I remember thinking I either did fine or I just embarassed all of my professors by failing so badly. I'm leaning toward the latter. I can't tell if I was answering 50% of the harder questions correctly or 50% of the easy ones because the few hard questions that I do remember seem easy now. I do know that I guessed on a bunch. I studied for close to 3 months nonstop with all of the Lippencott, Saunders, Mosby, and Kaplan books (scoring 72-84%), and all of the advice in those books went out the window when I sat in front of the computer screen, I was shaking like a leaf. The questions I can remember answering dealt with priority, and a few meds. I know that there is no relationship between how well you did and the number of questions you answered, but I was wondering if anyone has taken the exam since the changes in april (and felt the same as me) and passed with 75 questions. I don't think that I could take this exam again, I still have 4 more months of OR orientation to go through. It would also be nice to give my mom a belated mother's day present by telling her that I passed, but we'll see. Also, if anyone in PA could let me know how long it takes ot get results, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for listening everyone.:)
