Took the NCLEX on saturday. I went in very confident, I had studied for awhile and knew my stuff. I was the 4th one out of my program to take and all the other three girls walked out at 75 questions and passed. I was confident that I would also walk out at 75. Well that did not happen... I went all the way to 265!!! I had 54 SATA questions (I kept tally). I know for a fact that i missed the last question because I looked it up when I left. According to pearson Vue I passed... When looking through these threads pearson Vue seems pretty accurate but I am scared to death! I took the kaplan course and feel like that did not help me AT ALL... everything was SO random!

Congratz, you passed! I also went up to 265 question and got the good pop up in the pvt trick. License was active the next day in the BON website.

that last question might be one of those 'ungraded' ones. i took it on a saturday too and im just dying to know if i passed officially. you think the process will be delayed since its sunday today and a nonworking holiday tomorrow?
Anyway, hoping for the best to both of us!
I read somewhere that they say that quick results will be delayed but that they really are not! So i am not sure! I am confident in the pearson Vue so my anxiety is not too bad!

I think it sounds like good news for you!!!!! I wouldn't think quick results would be delayed b/c its computerized. I would think BON posting a liscense would be delayed a day or 2 b/c of holiday and them being closed monday... but who knows!
man! lucky for you. my state doesnt have quick results so id have to wait longer. Yeah ive talked to the majority of my classmates (and from other schools too) that those people who got the good pop up passed. i dont want to get too excited haha
I passed!!! So you can pass at 265 even missing the LAST question :)

Wow, 54 SATA is a lot! Congratz to you for passing! I am taking Kaplan now and prepping for mine. Still waiting in ATT though. Can you tell us what else helped since Kaplan didn't so I can get those resources before it's too late? And so how did you approach all those SATA questions? Thank you and congratz!

I took the NCLEX today at 2pm.. And of course I got all 265 questions (just my luck).. Im getting the "good pop up" but of course I will pay for the quick results when it becomes available.. I'm so nervous because I feel like I didn't know a lot on the test or I just went blank.. It was hot in the testing center, I ended up getting a bad headache halfway through it, and the darn ear plugs I had to take out due to them making feel like I had an earache in my right ear.. I was so ready to get the test over with... The test was so much similar to ATI testing (which I was required to do during nursing school).. I had a lot of SATA, pictures, putting things in order, a mixture of everything.. I sure hope to pass it bc I will dread to have to retake that thing again..
Well I passed it... yay!!!

congrats...i'm taking mine within the next two weeks. my last task is brushing up on my math
The math is the one thing I really didn't brush up on and I can guarantee I missed one because I forgot how I normally set up my problem and I didn't want to spend so much time trying to figure it out.. I only had like 2 though. Good luck.. You can do it!!!
