75 questions & thinking it was tough-good signs?!

TypicalFish · Jul 2, 2005

Hi everyone. I am still freaking out about my NCLEX that I took yesterday. I had 75 questions and thought it was sooooooo incredibly hard. I heard these are good signs that you passed it. Do you all agree? I have been praying so much these past few days, and trying to tell myself I did everything I could do prepare for this exam. I have been studying since Jan. 2005 (during my last semester of school). And since graduation last month, I did 4200 questions. I felt like I really truly knew my stuff, and even went over two books that discussed test-taking strategies. I'm an A student, and have always done well on exams. So why doesn't all this make me feel better? I just want to be an RN already. I know I have to wait until at least tomorrow morning to find out but I am already so impatient.

I did mine in 75 in May, and I left thinking "Okay, there was ONE question that I am sure that I got right"-and I passed. If you had good grades, and a lot of the questions were prioritization and application of care, I think that that's a good sign. Someone told me that MOST people who finish in 75 generally pass. Evryone I know in my class so far has passed in 75. Let us know!

either you passed with flying colors or you failed so miserably in those 75 questions that if you had taken ALL the questions you still would have failed. you almost definetly passed.
