I took my nclex-rn this morning for the third time and got all 265 questions after 3.5 hours. I am beyond nervous and I keep reading different things about getting all questions. I don't want to do the pvt trick because I want to relax for the weekend so I am going to wait the 48 hours for the quick results.
I am so overwhelmed because this is my third time, but I did the best that I could do.
Any advice or knowledge about 265 questions is appreciated for the next few days before I will officially know!!
Hi! i took mine yesterday and got all 265 questions. Dont want to do the PVT as well.. 48hours really kills me now can you recall the type of questions that you got. I can recall that at some point of the exam i felt like i have some low level questions which really made me feel like i totally failed, but i got TONS of Sata, PDA, ECG, drug calculations and different alternative type questions.. thoughts?
Hi, the wait killed me too! But you have to stay positive! Try to do something relaxing for the wait, that's what helped me. And although I failed, that does not mean you will have the same outcome! A lot of people pass with 265 questions, don't be discouraged! And if you did not pass, that's okay too. You just reschedule and pick up and move on!
I don't remember exactly what my test had but I did have a ton of priority questions and I had a lot of EKG questions. I think I had about 2 or 3 drag and drop, and SATA but not that many, maybe about 20? No drug calculations and a ton of meds.
Given that we had 265 questions, there is a ton of information thrown around and the questions are going to vary. But don't think about the questions you had because ultimately there is no significant way of knowing which questions are higher or lower (read the above comments!!).
If you feel up to doing the PVT than definitely do it! If not, wait it out and remain positive!! That's the key!! Hope this helps you out and sending lots of luck your way :)
