If I could give any advice: Uworld, UWorld, UWorld. So far every person who used UWorld in my cohort has passed their NCLEX in 75 questions (including me). Really prepares you for the NCLEX.

So I still cannot believe it. Woke up to a notification this morning from this website and seen an email showing that someone on here that took the exam same day as me found out they passed. I sprinted to my computer, checked my name on my State Board website... and there it was!!!!! When I took the NCLEX, I literally had almost 50 SATA. I thought I was being tortured. Concepts looked familiar but the options to select didn't. My exam covered a small range of items, but more in depth than I had anticipated. It seemed like there were a lot of little details that I feel I must have missed when I was remediating. That being said, I do feel that I had been equipped with reason and just did my best to omit things I knew were wrong. My test shut off at 75 questions. I wasn't sure how I felt. I was kind of excited because I was like well... 75 can only mean two things, and I felt in my heart that I was a competent person, so it must have meant I passed. I was excited, elated, overjoyed, and just happy it was over with. However, that very next day, doubt crept in, and then I felt immensely sick to my stomach. I had convinced myself yesterday that I failed and I was loosing my job. My husband must have noticed because I turned pale as a ghost. Not one of my best moments. But now I can say, my worry was for nothing. I cannot say enough about UWorld. I started off with kaplan and was getting so annoyed with their question formats and the rationales. I came to this site and found that a lot of people recommended UWorld, so I decided to give it a try.I used UWorld for my Q-bank and Kaplan trainers to evaluate how I was doing. Hands down I know for a fact UWorld helped me pass. I took as many questions as possible and fully remediated every question. There are so many SATA on UWorld and I think that is why I feel it saved my butt that day. Without it, I wouldn't have been prepared for the evil the NCLEX inflicted on me that day. I got through all but 300 questions and by the time I got near then end my scores began to increase dramatically. I decided to take the kaplan readiness test and got a 71.7%. So I was like ok. Thats it. I might be ready. Took the two days off before NCLEX (two because I was sick as a dog one day, and the day before I didn't feel like doing anymore). The morning of, I Had a good breakfast, sat in the car with my best friend in the pearson vue parking lot listening to music, and then walked in as calm as I could be. So happy it is now officially over. Trust yourself and trust your gut.

Thank you!!!! Congrats to you too!!!!!!!!

So I woke up and saw this email notification, so I literally sprinted to my computer! I passed too!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

So, I just tried the trick with a gift card and I got the "good" pop up, but I will believe it when I see it, lol. I'll keep you updated... I am so jealous you get the quick results! Im rooting for you!

Hey I took mine earlier too!!!! I had 75 questions and literally NO FREAKING JOKE, like 50 SATA... It was horrid!!!!!!! The multiple choice I did have were priority and UAP questions. I really did not know a majority of the questions, and just tried to use my best judgement. I really don't feel like I bombed it... but I also don't feel confident that I passed. So I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Are you in a state where you get results quickly? Im in California so I can wait anywhere between like 48 hours and 6 weeks. I am just going to try to watch Orange Is The New Black and eat some pizza. This wait is going to kill me.

Sounds like my day. Ran errands, drove to the hotel with my best friend, visited the site and just went out to dinner. I take it at 8 as well tomorrow!!!! We are going to great! Let me know how it goes!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Took today off completely, visited the site where I am testing, and just had an amazing dinner with my friend. Just trying to stay positive and hopeful. Let you know how it goes... taking it at 8!!! Ahhhh!!

Tomorrow is the big day! Ahhhhhhh!!!! Who else is taking it tomorrow? What are you guys doing today??? Reading or relaxing? Wish me luck!!!!

Thank you! Good luck to you too!!!! Two more days!!!

It's funny that you guys say this. I have been doing UWorld for a few weeks now. My exam is on Wednesday and I have around 400 questions left (won't be able to finish them all). But I tell you what, I actually look forward to the SATA now cause I seem to always get those right. UWorld has been so unbelievably helpful. I feel my knowledge has increased like 10 fold. Thanks for your post. Gave me tons of encouragement for my exam on Wednesday!!!

Hahaha. I cannot give any advice because mine is in 4 days, lol. But your comment has me dying... I too have wondered how the heck I am going to be able to fall asleep the day before, lol. Shock therapy seems promising... hahaha

Airborne: Keep door closed. Droplet: Door can remain open, be mindful that droplets can travel 3-5 ft. Standing in the doorway could be ok. Contact: Door open.

Augh! I want to pass so bad too, lol. 6 more days till my EXAM. Just accepted a job offer to begin in August... so needless to say, my anxiety is at a whole new level. Jesus take the wheel!!!!! Lol.

Not testing tomorrow, but in a few days. I was kind of feeling the same way you are and moved my day up from when I had previously scheduled it. You will do great! Good luck!!!!
