Taking Boards this morning at 10.

Published

Hello All,

I have been lurking since the beginning of my second year (when I found out about the site). I have found encouragement from peope here just reading the post and the responses. So many times, there was no need to post as someone was feeling exactly the same as i was all the time.

Today I will be taking the NCLEX. I am somewhat nervous but not to anxious. I have only been taking questions from Saunders since graduation on May 13. I took the exit HESI on May 12 and used Saunders to prepare for it (CD only). I just hope that I haven't sabatoged myself by not doing more.

I will return after I thake the NCLEX and let you guys know how I feel. I am sure that I will be no different than most of you with the post NCLEX stress. I just want to be like the majority of you and pass as well. Wish me luck!

Well,

I got to the testing center at 9:15 and was allowed to enter for my exam. I prayed for peace of mind and that my anxiety would be alleviated. It was. I thank God for that. I got a total of 92 questions and it took me one hour and twenty three minutes to take the exam including the tutorial. I FEEL SO STUPID AFTER THAT EXAM. There were so many things on there that I didn't know. So many questions tht I guessed on. I am almost positive in a way that I failed. I am holding out hope and faith in God that he answered my prayers and I passed. I am trying to accept that the feelings I am experiencing are normal post NCLEX stress.

Here goes . . I now have to endure the wait. I will post results good or bad. Thanks for the replies and encouragment!

I'm right there with you - took mine at 10 am this morning too. Mine shut off at 75 and I was out by 11am.

It was tough but, considering it is an adaptive test, I'm feeling pretty positive because it was tough. A lot of prioritizing which patients to assess first and identifying symptoms that take top priority. I believe they consider this type of question to be "difficult" and getting a lot of questions in this area is likely a good sign.

Best of luck!

I reallly hope that your analysis of the exam is right. I still feel really bad. Here in Arkansas we can't go to our State Board website and get results any earlier than 72 hours and there is a fee of $5 for that. Arkansas doesn't participate in Quick Results either so I am forced to wait it out. I am so bombed about this. I feel a little better than immediately after the exam but I still feel like I failed. I am so afraid that I will have to call my nurse manager of the job that I am to start later this month and tell her that I failed.

I hope this is just the normal jitters but I feel like the exam decided that I just couldn't hack it and booted me out at 82.

Still hanging on to a shred of hope. . .

I'm also waiting,took mine this morning, but was only there an hour, 75 questions. I hope I passed, but after question 30 or so, most of the questions were select all that apply, which are not at all easy for me. Good luck!

Hey,

I am in the same boat as you, mine cut off at 77 and I don't know what to think. I know I had a lot of high level questions but I really dont know what a low level question would have been. I am just nervous that I didn't pass but still Praying that I did. I can't wait until they send in my results.

Wishing you all, all the best!!!

I too took my boards today. I am hoping and praying that I passed. The test only took me about an hour and 15 minutes and it shut off after I had answered 75 questions.

I found I got a LOT of priority type questions and quite a few of select all that apply type questions. I only got one math question.

I hope my State board posts soon! I hate to go the weekend and not knowing if I passed or not. :madface:

I am getting more and more discouraged the more I read post on this site. I have noticed a pattern of people only getting 75 questions. I got 92 and I have only seen one or two people on these forums who have gotten in the 90's and only one of them passed. I AM SO CONVINCED I FAILED!!!!!!!

I know that there is a normal post NCLEX stress but I am not feeling to good about this seeing the information stated above. I really do hope that I am stressing for nothing and am wrong. Comments would help.

I am in the same boat as both of you! The computer shut off at 92 questions, or something like that. I felt okay coming out of the testing center, but now i'm convinced that i've failed after going through my notes. It would be nice to hear back from you girls. I'm going to have an M.I!!!!!!! But why would they keep us until 90 if we are doing terriable....it's would make more sense to shut it off earlier-around 75. Who knows. WRite back!
