Shut off 102+ questions and I know I got last question right!

Published

I'm having a hard time right now. I took the NCLEX yesterday at 8am. I ended at around 102. I kept telling myself that I wouldn't look at the number of questions I had... And take note... This is my 5th time taking the exam in less than 3 years. The blank blue screen came up after I pressed submit and I literally stared at the computer and was like "Noooooooooo!" I thought... I answered the question correctly. Why would you stop on me?! Lol.

It was a priority question and I'm 100% sure it was correct!

But the exam stopped!!! And now I'm afraid. I need words of encouragement! This is my 5th time and I didn't do the PVT trick because I've done it the last 4 times and got the bad pop up. I'm just too scared.

I took my NCLEX-PN California on February 6,2016.. It's been 4weeks tomorrow.. And I haven't received mail yet.. I've been trying the PVT but I always have a bad pop up.. Is there anyone knows how long does it takes to receive the result of the test? Thank You :)

Are you doing only questions or you will review content again? Good luck!

I will probably do both. I have a set schedule of how I will approach the nclex. Wish me luck!

I wish you luck. :)

So, thank you for following up with me. I appreciate it. Sadly, no. Near passing in almost all areas except one above and one below passing. So back to the drawing board. This doesn't justify my situation but I have 3 kids and often times I feel like I do everything in my family. Everyone relies on me. Lol. So, with that being said, I talked it over with my mom and dad and they are big supporters. They paid for my exam and I am currently studying as we speak. Well, I'm taking a break. But I'm not giving up.

But I'm not discouraged and I'll just work harder. There's no turning back because I did get my degree in nursing. That alone was hard!!! Hahahahaha! Passing the NCLEX is only an obstacle that I can overcome through consistency and prayer.

Anywho, thank you for listening to my rant about trying again.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass!! I took the NCLEX Feb 22 at 8am, and I still have not received anything. I don't know if that's a good thing. If I didn't pass, I will try UWorld since I've heard good things about it. Keep your head up and don't give up. WE GOT THIS!!!

I have some notes, if you would like to study? I took Nclex multiple times and finally passed...

Oy, I expected better grammar/punctuation/context from a BSN...

Didn't you know how the boards work everything goes on levels it starts at level one difficulty and goes up to level five difficulty if you get level one right when you go to two if you get to write then you go to three if you get three wrong then you go back down to Denver with you to questions of tube in a row if you get those right back up to three then if you get that right before and that right up to five sometimes we get to fives in a row these are generally mass casualty questions so 252 Is not an indicator of passing or failing I had 153 questions and I felt confident with almost all of them being answered correctly the test decides when

I'm sorry the results weren't what you'd hoped for. But can I say there WAS a positive in this? You've dispelled the ridiculous myth that if you got the last question on the exam right that you passed?!

I just wanna say, stay in the fight. I used Kaplan and passed the first time. 3-4-16 results 3-8-16. But I don't feel you don't know the content, I think you being blind sided by the fact this is your 3, 4, 5 time. Go in the test like you never been there before(hard to do). but your anxiety can get the best of you. I remember in school, we had to take math and get 100%(you get 3 tries). I missed one, so the second time around, I was so nervous, I was freaking out. I knew the content but, I was so obsessed with, what if I don't fail it again, then I'll be on my try. My teacher gave me these words, "every battle is different, fight each one accordingly". So don't worry about the battle you lost, worry about the battle at hand. I did 75 question and it took me 3h. I made sure I was content with each answer. I made sure each answer was ruled out and if I didn't know if I use if I could do one thing before I go home. But the Kaplan decision tree I used on each one. GOOD LUCK, STAY IN THE FIGHT
