Shut Down at 75 questions and I think I Failed!

pers · Jun 10, 2009

Most people seem to feel that way! It's hard to relax I'm sure but you might try the Pearson Vue "trick" to help with anxiety. Also keep in mind that 85% of people pass the first time so the odds are in your favor!

So I took the nclex-rn today..........the computer shut off at 75 questions.......Lots of pharm...and alot of drugs that I never even heard of...no maternity, a couple pediatrics, no math, and 14 Select All That Apply! Ugh! I was hoping to keep going cause I really didn't have a good feeling and I don't think I passed.
Did anyone else feel this way after the exam???

Wow 14 SATA? I heard that was a good sign, meaning it was getting more difficult, thus you were passing? :bowingpur

Thanks! Yeah....I couldn't believe all the SATA.....I purposely counted on my dry erase board.........I hope that was a good sign.........they just kept coming and coming........

I did, however, try the "pearson vue trick" and it wouldn't let me re register.

Keeping my fingers crossed :)

Man I felt the same way! You're definitely not alone. I was shocked that I didn't get OB or Peds. From what i've heard NCLEX is like in bed with growth and development and I got nada in my 75 questions! I felt terrible leaving and i'm anxiously awaiting my results thinking that I failed. I tried the pearson trick and i couldnt pay so i'm hoping its a good sign. I took it tuesday...think i'll get my quick results tomorrow?

I took mine yesterday as welll. This is my 3rd time taking it. I've done every review course out ther. Last one was the Kaplan. I only had 75 questions. That was hard for me to swallow since the last time I ended up talking all of them. I too had several sata! Several and I actually had a dosage cal question, 1st one of all 3 tests. I hope you pass and much as I pass! Good luck. I've never heard of the pearson trick, what is that?

I have been a nurse now for a few years but I do remember that sick feeling when the computer stopped. I would say that 75 questions and done probably means that you did really, really great or bad. I would have to say you probably:D did just fine. Best wishes. Gods Bless, and I hope you passed. :yeah:

Took NCLEX today. 75 Q, 11 SATA.

I feel like I missed the easy questions too. I just hope hope hope that PearsonVue trick works because I couldn't get to the Credit card screen...
