Okay if you just took the nclex and are freaking out, about to puke your guts up, can't eat, sleep, think, going to the bathroom a lot more often, maybe telling yourself you are an idiot and you can't believe you just blew it?! Well that was me 48 hours ago all the way up until 1:30 yesterday. We have quick result here in Ohio and I finished my test at 11:30 on the 8th and my "licensed" results were posted to the board around 1:30 on the 9th. I SERIOUSLY thought I blew it and I am normally an optimist. I wanted to quit the test or start guessing or yell at somebody b/c I thought it was ridiculous. I had like three med questions of drugs I had NEVER heard of. Then total I think I had like 10 new format questions. Three fill in the blank and 7 check all that apply which were harder than heck. Then my math problems were confusing and I figured they would be easy! Every question seemed to have 2 right answer and it was like a 50/50 evertyime! It was pure torcher. I was pretty sure I got maybe 10 right for sure. When the computer shut off at 82 questions I thought yup that's it, it thinks I'm really stupid and there goes my dreams I couldn't even look at the administrators when I was leaving, I was shaking so bad I couldn't put the key in the locker, dropped my purse, and held my breath while trying not to cry all the way out to the parking lot. I could see my heart pounding through my shirt. MAJOR anxiety. When I got onto the main highway I put my sunglasses on and allowed the tears to flow and flow and flow! Then I felt relieved but sick at my stomach just b/c I KNEW I flunked. I seriously don't know how I passed. They say the minimum number of ?'s you get the better off you are. Well yea as long as you got the harder ones right or at least quite a few of them. Then I figured I just got them wrong so it shut off so soon. Turns out I must have done pretty okay b/c it took me about 2 hours and I had 82 questions. So I guess the # of ?'s does determine in a sense pass or fail b/c the computer can make its mind up on your few answered b/c you are doing well or you are "iffy" so it keeps going. Either way it works with you which is a good thing. So if you get a lot of ?'s don't freak out it's probably just waiting for you to get to a passing poing b/c it wants you to be a nurse :wink2: So if you are getting ready or just took the nclex, calm down, breathe, do something nice for yourself. If you made it through nursing school and have the desire to be a nurse then you will be fine. If by chance you are too, too nervous (I was) or maybe just not a good test taker, give it another shot if you truly want to be a nurse DONT give up and you will be there. So good luck to all of you and be sure to be the best nurse that you can be and don't take your license for granted :wink2: Bye
There is a humongous thread dedicated to this. It is a sticky at the top of this forum. I would be more concerned with your official results though. They are the ones that count.

Offical results is always the bestway to go although the pvt will relieve some stress.. I hav 2 classmate who did the PVT and they got to the cc page. but they rcvd their results and passed so pvt is 50/50. I spoke with someone at pearson n they said its not reliable and many have wasted 200 bc they reregistered.. I really dont know wha to think until my results have arrived.until then i have started to restudy...
i took the exam yesterday and answered 265. i tired the pvt and it made me go all the way to the credit card page..so i think i failed..i hate that trick!
when I tried to check using the vue trick I also went all the way through to the credit card page ...I passed so do not stress, I think everyone feels like they failed but really did fine .. fingers crossed for you!
OMG!! i am reading all these posts just be able to hold on to something as I wait. I took my exam yesterday JULY/ 15 and still dont know my results. Havent been able to sleep or eat, i check the computer every 5 minutes hoping to see something aboutmy results but no luck so far.
My exam stopped at 75 questions, only an hour ad 15minutes after it started, i walked out sure i had failed since i got like 10 SATA questions a lot of priorities and infection control questions...i felt like i had to guess most of the time and almost always had two good answers to choose from... i am a nervous wreck right now and only can pray while wait... wish me luck!!
thank you very mych for your post...this forum kept m going for the 48hours of anxiety i had to live...i just found out i passed and i was so disappointed at myself thinking i failed...thanks eeryone and :yeah:good luck
man...im trippin'! i just tooked the nclex pn today and it stopped at 92?. im soo disappointed...i studied my butt off hardcore 3 weeks + and non of the stuff i studied (except 2 questions) came up on the screen!. new meds of which i have not seen before, came up...and i ended up with an easy question for my last question and missed it...im just praying to god i pass...i really need this...
i studied the saunders 3rd edition...and the meds. that i saw on the test, was not in the book...
i swear, i think i failed! 92 question is like a 50/50 chance. im more on the failing side, but im just praying everyday that a miracle will happen...
i really do hate the fact that california does not have a quick result.
Was wondering if anyone knows whether or not nursing instructors receive a report from the BON as to when a student took the boards. Do they get to know who exactly passed it or failed it the first time or soooo???? Or is this information too confidential to be shared by the BON? Thanks!
I took the nclex exam yesterday aug 11, checked the pearson vue trick reregister the it lead me all the way to credit card info, so im expecting that i failed the exam...
