I walked in feeling good about it, but Kaplan doesn't really help much with SATA questions so those were knocking me down. I couldn't use the decision tree for those, you just had to kind of know them.

According to the link on the FL BON site for exam grades I passed. Still no license yet and I can't confirm with Pearson until 48 hours. Let's hope my license posts later today!!! Eek!

No, many people say select all that apply are a sign of passing level questions, but it's not true. Many people pass at 75 with minimal SATA questions. I just don't think it's fair that some people, like me, get 50-55 SATA for a 75 question test while others get 5-10. Those are my weakness! I'm trying to tell myself that I passed, because if it shut off at 75 and I failed, I must have done horrible. I did well with Kaplan and on my last trainers. I did all the Qbank, but was not prepared for that many SATA!

Thank you for your confidence and support! I had planned on going out for dinner and drinks afterward, but yesterday I came down with a sore throat and earache, so I've been resting since I got home today. Perfect timing right! =[ =P

Thanks guys! I know I'm having trouble relaxing. I know there is nothing I can do now. Just anxious because I keep remembering questions, looking them up, and seeing that I got them wrong. AHHHHH!

How traumatic! I know everyone walks out of there and feels like they failed but it is such a terrible feeling not knowing! I was there a little less than 2 hours. My exam shut off at 75 questions, which I was praying for up until actually talking the test when I felt like I was getting every single one wrong. I had about 50-55 select all that apply questions and about 5 drag and drop questions. I am terrible at select all that apply as well! Of course, when I look up questions I kept finding ones that I got wrong, so I told myself to stop doing that. I'm trying to constantly remind myself that the purpose of the NCLEX is to find the point where you get 50% right and 50% wrong. Keeping my fingers crossed and praying! I know everyone that takes the NCLEX feels exactly the same way!

I'm taking mine today at 1 too!!! Praying for the both of us!

Yes I ordered the lippincott one I should have it Friday. I think those are my weakest area so I definitely plan on spending a lot of time with that book.

Yes, I'm from the Tampa area. I ordered a book that I saw people posting about on here for alternate questions. I practice with Kaplan and I feel like I always miss select all that apply questions. Even if I do true/false for each part there is always one I don't know. What did you use to study?

I'm taking the NCLEX September 8 and I am terrified! I've been using Kaplan to study. I'm about halfway through the qbank questions, and I listened to all of the review of content lectures and took notes. I saw on another thread something about NCLEX3500 for practice with alternate questions, but I am doing terrible with the select all that apply. Even worse, I know that people that pass get a ton of those! Any advice? I have a job offer hanging from this as well, which makes it even more scary.
