i took the nclex yesterday, stopped at 75 with only 2 SATA. For some reason i had a feeling that i would stop at 75. At about 67 or so the questions started getting more recognizable/easier, and i think i even got those wrong. Most of the questions were unheard of, and i was only sure about 3 of my answers. I am such a wreck right now, I am 110% sure i failed. And whats worse, my family knows that i took my test and waiting to hear that i passed. My moms a nurse, about 7 of my aunts are nurses, and about 6 of my cousins are nurses, which all of them passed the 1st try. It will be so embarrassing to face them. I don't know how much more i could have studied...kaplan, saunders, nln, and more. Im so discouraged right now. The only thing that makes me feel a little better is this forum, i guess im not alone. ITs the hardest time of my life right now. Sorry, I had to let my emotions out:cry:
I felt EXACTLY the same way you did 2 nights ago. My test stopped at 75 and I felt as if I only answered a few questions correctly. But I found out today that I PASSED!! These past two days have been increadibly stressful for me. I worked a 12 hour shift in acute last night and was only able to sleep about 2 hours today because I was so nervous and was SO SURE that I had failed. Now I'm on cloud 9. I know that no matter how many people tell you not to worry, it is no help. Until you see the word "PASS" you will not feel any better. Good luck to you, I'm sure you did fine. It seems that most people who hit 75 pass.
iowa i care, just curious, how many SATA's did u get?
Everyone that writes that exam gets 50% correct and 50% incorrect. That is just the way that the exam is designed. It is dependent on the level where you are getting your correct answers at that determines if you pass or not.
So please, just sit tight until you get your results.
Thanks suzanne, i hate being so negative and hard on myself, it takes alot of patience to deal with someone like me because, i read your positive feedback, but for some reason, i don't think it applies to me. Its like, ill read them, feel a little better, then go back to my original thoughts. Ill stop with the SATA posts, and just accept that I am just one of the unlucky ones who probably didn't pass. I know you say wait till I get my results and stay positive, but I'd hate to set myself up only to be disappointed. Man, i need some serious counseling or something....lol
If you take the time to read some of the I did not pass posts, you will find that the majority of them were written before the person even got their results.
85% pass the first time and all get 50% correct and 50% incorrect on the exam. So most feel the same way that you do.
And rule one in nursing is never to assume, it can get you into trouble. Please do not continue to beat yourself up and just wait until you get your results.
