265 questions today...

Published

It was my first time taking the NCLEX. I thought it would have stopped at 75 just like my other classmates had (they all passed). Then it went up to 100.. 150.. 200.. 265. At a point I thought of giving up, it was a mental challenge. My heart was pounding thinking why is it still giving me questions. I was there for 5 hours and felt terrible after. I've read good and bad things about taking all 265. My last question was a dietary/food question and I believed I got it wrong (further convinced that I've failed). I didn't even want to try the PVT trick. It was tough and even after the exam I'm still not able to sleep. I just felt very stressful and I didn't want to talk to people about this yet since I am still having a hard time getting over it. I guess venting on this forum might help a little bit...

I know exactly how you feel I went the whole 265 in July and was sick to my stomach when I found out I failed. I hope you passed let us know. I test again sept 2

You can check the BON page for your license number tomorrow at least! Have you tried PVT yet?

I am still waiting for the result. Good luck to you! I think I am getting over this... well worse come to the worse just take it again in 45 days....

I haven't try PVT, just wanted to wait for the official result so it will be 100% accurate.

What state are you in?

Ohio takes like 2 weeks to post your license. A friend of mine passed in 75 questions, took 10 days for Ohio BON to post license. They JUST recently switched over to elicensing and their website says "having issues."

It took me 239 questions. I still don't know if I passed or not "officially." Apparently others are saying I passed because I got the "good" popup. But I cannot say anything official until I get the unofficially "official" quick response (which is tomorrow probably since I took it Monday as well). Checking OH BON after I post, but I doubt it is there.

PS. Do not knock dietary questions. I had something like this on KAPLAN:

Client is in the acute manic phase of bipolar disorder. Which menu items are best for the client to have?

1. Tuna salad sandwich and orange slices

2. Bologna and cheese sandwich on wheat and apple slices

3. Veggie burger and a pickle

4. Egg sandwich on Bagel with Orange Juice

Apparently, at least, Kaplan thinks these are really important.

My last question was so easy. I have to leave it at that because I am not sure how much I can say about it. :)

EDIT:

Just checked the BON website - maintenance from Aug 14-18 12 am - 6 pm :(

Time to walk the dog :)

I am in California. All of my classmates got results in 2-3 days depend on what day they test on. I tested on Friday and it took 3 days. I understand the waiting is brutal but best luck to you.

I used Kaplan since my school requires us to use it every semester. I also used Hurst and I think it is a good review of content. Kaplan is more like how to get used to the style of questions. My qtrainer scores ranges from 48-62% and my readiness was 60%.

I also had Saunders but I found the questions on the easy side so I only did about 200 of them and used Hurst & Kaplan instead.
