75 questions this AM and don't feel good about it....

Published

Well, I took the NCLEX this morning. the computer shut off after 75 questions and I REALLY do NOT feel good about it. These next 48 hrs are going to be rough. I feel like such an idiot. I have a horrible sick feeling I'll be taking it again in 45 days :uhoh3:

Hang in there, and try to do something fun!! :) Good luck to you!

Thank you! I need to get out of the house tomorrow and do something with the kids to get my mind off it I suppose.

I took my test this morning as well. My computer shut off at 75 questions. My heard dropped. I feel somewhere in the middle. I dont feel that I did that horrible, but that I did ok. I'm reading all of the posts on here and the general concesus seems to be that people feel like they failed and didnt even get one question right.

Now Im worried that I failed because I dont have this horrible feeling about the test. I'm also thinking maybe the reason that I feel this way is because my questions were so easy and I never got any right, so they never got any harder. I'm freaking out now...help!

I know what you mean.......I remember sitting there and reading question #75 and realizing that it was question # 75 and hoping that the computer didn't shut off after that one. I chose my answer....don't have a clue what the question OR the answer was now!lol......I clicked "next" and the screen went blank. My heart dropped and all I could think was "no, give me just a few more questions! I can do this.....just give me a chance!"lol....Funny thing is, I always hoped I'd be the one to get only 75 questions cuz I hate sitting in front of a computer for extended periods reading those questions....makes my head hurt and eventually, I reach a point where I can't see cuz my eyes are "crossed"! Never thought I'd be begging the computer to give me "just a few more".

Anyway, I wish I could say that I feel "ok" about it but I really don't. I really feel like I missed some questions that I should have known the answer to......and now that I think about it, I DID know the answer but for some reason wasn't able to pull it out of my hat at the right time.

Oh well......I guess we wait now, huh? Good luck to you! I PRAY we both passed!!!!

I guess that's all that we can do now. I know what you mean about wanting only 75 questions though. Then when thats what happened I wasn't so sure thats what I wanted. Truth is though, I dont think that it would have mattered how many questions I got. I think that I would still feel the same way! Tomorrow's the big day for me, what about you? When do you find out?

Ya know, going into this thing, I was so naive that I really thought that if I only got 75 questions, I would be able to leave with a bit of confidence that I might have passed. However, I don't feel that way......I'm driving myself nuts because I know that I either passed with flying colors or I failed it miserably and I don't have a clue which will be the result! :uhoh3: I go back and forth between being convinced that I MUST have failed and being convinced that SURELY I passed or the computer would have given me more questions. Like I said, I'm driving myself nuts! I need to get out of the house and do something fun with the kids and dh today to get my mind off this crazy test. I should be able to get my results tomorrow. BON actually said that Pearson posts results first and that they post them anywhere between 24-48 hrs. I'd love to find out today but after reading all the posts here, I'm fairly certain that Pearson won't post it until that 48 hr mark. Anyway, in the meantime, I pray that we BOTH get good news tomorrow

just a random question.

is a calculation question a low level question? because i got 75 questions this aM and around #70 i got a calculation question..so im sure i failed because hardly anyone gets calculation questions!

I took mine on the 25th and my feelings are the same as all above. I can not believe anyone feels worse than me but I guess it is possible.

I had about 160-165 questions and after 150 I was asking God to end it already, pass or fail..

Good luck all
