The dreadful 265 NCLEX on 7/15. Pray for me!

[Cleigh26]

Hey to all! I am truly living a nightmare because I took my NCLEX yesterday and had the 265 maximum questions! I feel so sad that I obviously didn't know as much as I thought. It is soo confusing because I am a good student. I just need advice on what the heck happened! I also passed school tests above average and I passed the HESI way over the 900 score they suggest you have before sitting for boards. I have done many many questions and I used about 4-5 review books all through school and in studying. I just don't know what went wrong. I live in NC which doesnt do the quick results but we can start checking in like 2-3 business days anyways! So starting next week I will check but I don't have a good feeling about this. I know, I know---stay positive but it is so hard when so much is on the line!

Hey Cleigh I really hope you passed. I took my boards on June 23 and I did not pass, but i also had 265. Dont put ureself down because you did know your stuff and the comouter gave you more oppurtunities because if you didnt know anything it would have shut off at 75 and you would have failed but it didn't....i know people who passed with 265 and people who failed. Just remember you can take it again ....it may seem like the end of the world but its not .....good luck let me know how you did ....Ill keep you in my prayers keep me in yours I retest on August 10th
