Oh NCLEX; if you were a human-being, I would CUT-YOU-UP!

The first time I took the exam I got all 265 questions. IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE. I remember that as soon as I passed question #75, I started to panic! As soon as I left I just knew I didn't pass. There was no string of hope to hold on to. I didn't want to do the Pearson trick because I just had a gut feeling. Low behold; I failed.

I just took the NCLEX the second time around. I think this was worse than the first one. Most of my questions were tricky; like priority, "who do you call back first", "who do you teach", "what do you delegate", and many select all that apply questions. Similarly I had a few easy questions. After question #75 the computer shut down. I remember the last few questions were hard.

I left the testing center conflicted. And then I made my mistake! It was 2 hours post-exam and I did the Pearson trick and it went all the way though. It let me sign up for another exam. I cant have a single ounce of peace. I cant imagine that I did so poorly; did I?

I cant imagine taking this god forsaken test AGAIN!!!!!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that dear. I know NCLEX is very random. Everyone gets different questions and the computer just throws random questions, and I read somewhere... A person passing with 75 questions has different percentage/different weight as another person who passed in a 75 question test too. So it is all a mystery how NCLEX works. What you can do is just study and do more questions.. That's the best tip...there's no shortcut, but this too shall pass.
