I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday at 2pm. I was so nervous that I could barely breathe when I was at the testing center. I had bad insomnia and butterflies in the stomach the night before Did all the Kaplan QT and Q bank questions and stilll wasn't sure if I knew all the stuffs I need to know for NCLEX. I was thinking to reschedule it but I just couldn't wait anymore (I NEED MY LICENSE ASAP). NCLEX was a lot like Kaplan, I would highly recommend everyone to study with Kaplan. I would say NCLEX was easier than Kaplan (but not so sure about the SATA on NCLEX lol). I got approximately 10-15 SATA. But still..... SATA was my weakest area and I freaked out when I kept getting it!! Kaplan helped a lot in knowing all the infection controls, delegation and prioritization. I will be sure to share my study tips if I passed the test. (still waiting for the result) I prayed so my test stop at 75 questions but it didn't so I was kinda anxious at that moment. ******It would be betteer if I expect myself to sit there for 6 hours and complete all 265 questions so i wouldnt be freaking out when it didn't stop at 75. I told myself, hey they are still giving me questions so I am good I am still on the game. I read each question carefully but making sure that I was not overthinking the question like I did for Kaplan. When I was doing question 85 and hit "next" button, the computer "froze" and took me out to the survey page. My heart was pounding like crazy, and I was like.... "what? okay... that it? I got a lot of SATA questions after the 75 questions... I didn't think I do well on those, I think I flung the test.... " I was in shock for the rest of the day 6 hours later when I checked the Pearsonvue Trick it said that my result was on hold. I was dead sure that I failed. I mean, I got a lot of SATA questions that I really had no clue which was the right answer and I was just guessing the answers for each of them. 24 hours later (which is today at 2pm), I checked the pearsonvue trick again and I finally got a "good pop up". I hope this pearson vue trick thing is real like what I have read on the forum. Meanwhile, still waiting for the official result. Pray to God so I passed. I will post the update here. The long wait is indeed torturing.
85 questions in 1.5 hours. Passed or Failed? Still waiting......

I'm sure you both passed!! I have my test next week and I am extremely nervous. My Kaplan scores are terrible!! I just keep making stupid mistakes and its really beginning to get me down ;(
I didn't do very well on Kaplan either. My average for the Q bank was 58% my readiness test was 56%. The highest I get for the QT was 66% on QT 6. The lowest score was 51%. It did get better and better each day I took it tho. Just keep practicing I guess. Thanks :)
I had 160! I passed ! Pearson trick worked!!
Yay! Congrats! I am still waiting...
