265 Questions and felt lost and bewildered

Published

I left that test yesterday feeling like I got hit by a semi and then it reversed and hit me again in the afternoon when I processed how many stupid answers I chose. That was the hardest test I ever took, and I don't think I could have studied enough to prepare for that.

I came to this forum after getting the whole entire 265 question (5:15 grueling hours :no:) I would say after half the test I started becoming numb not sure what was going on getting a bunch of questions on meds I never heard of....SATA which I do terribly with...and math questions which I was happy about but now I hear that's not such a good thing. I think I failed and I'm so discouraged my school has a 98% passing rate and it's terribly shameful to be in the 2% mark..I really felt better reading all the encouraging comments that were left on this forum and it helps to know that I'm the only one :nurse:.

Any words of encouragment would really help. I just want to be an RN!

Not a exam that can be predicted by the number of questions you take. Many have passed with max questions. Good luck

i so understand how you feel! i sat for the test yesterday too (ny) and got 265 questions. i think i got hit by the same semi-truck because i felt so knock out when i left the test center. i still can't believe i had to go through the entire test! i guess i've got for my money...:rolleyes:

my test was very similar to your: lots of satas, math, meds (many unknown to me), lots of prioritizing and infection control. i studied with kaplan and found it was very similar to the nclex-rn. my state participates in the quick result so i've been checking my pearsonvue account every 10 minutes (i was supposed to clean my house today...). i guess there is nothing more we can do but wait. i really hope you passed and don't worry about your school statistics! you'll be a great nurse :nurse:.

something weird did happen with one of the test administrator. i know they can't see the pass/failed result but before i left, the lady said that when i'll check my result i'll be favorably suprised and that i should go celebrate this weekend! darn, i don't know what to think anymore. did she or not see my result?!:banghead: it's called false reassurance! other than that, the 2 administrators were very very very nice; that was a big plus.

let us know when you get your result! i'll be thinking about you (not sure it's helping reducing your stress level).
