Tested today, 85 questions..... I failed

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

This is my 3rd time testing, I think that test and I are becoming good friends now. First test was 205 questions. results failed. last test 83 questions. results failed but I felt soo good about all the answers. Today 85 questions, I know everyone says the ammount does not matter, I agree.

But here's what I think does matter. I kept getting the same types of questions throughout the whole test. I got only 4-5 calculation questions, and a ton of questions about patients understanding instructions, and a ton of medication and drug questions. Other than that there were only a few questions about other things. So I'm convinced that because I didn't get a wide variety of questions then I must have failed again.

Anyone else experience something like this and pass?

I'm so depressed right now. I just got fired from my job because they don't want to wait for me to get my license, and they said I'm taking too long to get it.

so do you have to pay $200 in advance after taking the test in case you fail? or what trick are u guys talking about?

I believe I answered this on an earlier post, but I'll do it again since i'm already writing. :)

After you take your test, log into the vue.com site. In the box that shows your appointment date, to the right of it will say test delivered successfully. Click on register, enter the same information you did last time, click next. go through the steps, and if it takes you to the page where you have to enter your payment info then you failed. If you get an error and it does not let you go to the payment page then you passed. So no you do not have to pay again unless you want to get it out of the way to test again.

Don't loose hope!! Relax and make a plan on how to pass next time. Identify what you're doing wrong and fix it. My suggestion for you is to stop doing question for now and focus on your content firstly. You need to understand the disease process and know what the question is asking. NCLEX is one of the most easiest question i have come accross because the question are very direct. Unless you understand the disease process and know each disease s/sx, intervention......... you will excel. An never cram for NCLEX!! I have a suggestion as follows

SCHEDULE STRATEGY

A. Spend 1/3 of your time reviewing content you don't understand

B. Spend 2/3 of your time answering test question

C. Used most comfortable NCLEX review book for content.

D. Begin with the area that is most difficult for you or area that are least familiar

E. Use a good nursing reference manual or internet to find information

F. Define the disease in terms of pathophysiological process and understand the disease process.

G. Identify the early and late symptoms of disease

H. Identify most important or life threatening complication associated with the disease.

I. Define the medical treatment.

J. Identify nursing intervention associate with early and late symptom of disease process

K. Identify what to teach patient and family to prevent in other to adapt to disease process.

L. list the area you need to review.

M. Answering question in a test mode will improve your test taking skills

N. Each time you answer question, check the number of question you answered correctly that will motivate you to read and study more next time.

O. Keep track of your score to see how you're improving in all area of your content.

P. If you answer less than 65% correctly, this is a WARNING SIGNAL!! Spend lots of time reviewing content and stop doing question on the weakest area

Q. If you answer 65-75% correctly your performance is improving and success is certain. Continue working with the content until your score is above 75%

R. Every wrong answer, identify why you answered it wrongly.

S. Practice 75- 85 question to known how you'll be prepared for NCLEX Exam and see how many you answered correctly

T. Do understand the question first, formulate your answer of hand and compare with the option given to see how close your answer!!

U. Anticipate Test question will increase in difficulty when you get the first question right!!

V. Do not panic if someone finishes before you!!

W. Do not CRAM!!

X. Remember that you have learned a great amount of nursing knowledge and the exam is only designed to determine whether you're able to practice safely @ entry level

Y. Keep a positive attitude and Pray!!

Z. Wish you all best of LUCK
