205 questions.. IM WORRIED!!

Published

Hey! today I took my NCLEX-PN and I got up to 205 questions.. I feel like I failed, question number 204 was a SATA and the next I cant remember at this point, I was so upset. I watched the Kaplan intro and it said if you go to the max amount of questions whatever you last question is as long as it is above the passing line, you pass. Does anyone know if I could be above the passing line?

How can any of us possibly know if you were above the passing standard?

SATA is an alternative format for a question to be asked, that's all. Means nothing. You are mistaken about Kaplan; if your last question is above the passing standard but you have failed to demonstrate competency in ALL domains of questioning, you will not pass. You must have proven competency to a 95% confidence interval to pass the exam.

At this point, obsessing over types of questions, number of questions, format, etc will do you absolutely no good. Won't help one bit, I promise you that.

What WILL do you good is to get out of the house, take a long walk with the dog, buy yourself a treat at the mall, have lunch with a friend you've been ignoring so you could study. Anything to distract yourself from this while you wait for test results.

If you're someone who just can't resist doing the PVT, I will tell you to wait a minimum of 24 hours before doing it, and even then don't do anything that would risk you getting charged $200 (the fee is completely non-refundable). And even THEN, the "results" are virtually meaningless, as false positives and false negatives abound. You will feel great or crappy and none of it means anything until you have a Pass/Fail result in front of you.

Good luck!
