I would really appreciate feedback (thanks in advance):
1. I'm testing on a Friday and will pay the eight bucks for the internet results...when should I expect the results? I've heard Saturday counts as a business day (I'm located in NV)
2. Anyone have tips for the day of the test....I'm pretty nervous. I'm taking Gingko, working out, eating well and trying to stay calm.
3. Are there any jobs you can get in the healthcare field if you do fail? I know I shouldn't think like this but just in case.
4. I have read the entire Kaplan book and have gone through the Kaplan online videos twice...I'm doing well on the tests but did not get the opportunity to take their in person class...am I missing out on alot? What do they do in those classes?
Oh and a tip! Search for NCLEX RN 3500 on Google and click the "institutional version" link....great program with lots of free questions!
I take my exam this friday and thought I would have to wait until Monday to get my results. I hope I'll have the same results as you.
way to go!
Try not to stress about it. I know that is next to impossible but it really will do you no good. I wish you luck and be sure to let us know how you did! If you live in a quick results state you may be able to log into PearsonVue.com/NCLEX and get your results Sunday like I did...good luck!
It's crazy because I wasn't stressing about it until today. I did all the Kaplan q-trainer and got over 65% on all of them; I was feeling confident, but the closer exam day gets, the more I'm going stir crazy. I did over 300 saunders questions today! lol
Normally, I don't have exam anxiety. . .I don't know what's going on. Pray for me please.
Anywho, I live in NY (quick results state) and I will be paying for my results on Sunday.

Hope to come back in here and post that I passed.
Your going to burn yourself out, do something physically demanding like run or hike...take your mind off things. A couple of my friends were only getting like 50s-60s on the QBanks and tests, and they both passed. As long as you know the question strategies, have a good knowledge base, and go in there with a cool head...I think you will be ok. Don't freak out...its just a test.
Honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought. With all of the nurses telling me it was the hardest test they had ever even seen, I was expecting to have a test full of impossible riddles. The questions were worded exactly like many of the questions from my Kaplan online review (I didn't pay for the entire class). I felt prepared and like I was taking another Kaplan test. I think alot of nurses like to say the NCLEX is next to impossible to scare students?? Nursing school should scare the students, not the NCLEX. I know how horrible of a feeling it is to wrack your brain everyother minute, "did I pass? what if I failed? I should have answered this question a different way, am I going to wait tables again?" We all go through it, and its horrible! But the payoff is fantastic. If you have made an honest effort towards school your chances of doing ok are much higher.
