Think I failed-nclex RN 85ish questions

[michellee1]

Hello everyone

June 15th I wrote my nclex after studying for around 2 months. I felt prepared and I knew the content very well. Used the RN-mastery app for the iPhone because it was cheaper then ended up using Uworld with a friend for about a week before my exam which I found extremely helpful. I was averaging 60-75% on uworld, which I read was good, especially since the questions were very tough at times. I went into the exam feeling confident but I left feeling terrible about it. Looking back, I know there are some questions I forsure got wrong (maybe 5-7 forsure wrong), and I had a lot of questions that were very vague and very challenging for me, I made MANY educated guesses it feels like. 10-15 SATA, a drag and drop, and several prioritization. There were times the questions got a bit easier (in my opinion), and then they would get hard again, it was hard to gauge how I was doing. Once I got to 75 and it did not shut off, I was a little nervous but also happy to know I was still in it. I stopped looking at what question number I was at after 78, but it shut off after an additional 5-6 questions (maybe question 85-88?) and immediately I thought it shut off because I was doing terrible. The one thing is, I really believe I got the last question correct.. What I think is, why would it fail me at 85ish questions, when I got the last one correct? You would think if I got it wrong, it would ask me more questions, etc.

On top of everything, I can't even do the pearson vue trick because they had trouble getting my picture the first time and I had to return the next day to have my picture redone, they are working on getting it attached to my file, but it is now the weekend and the pearson vue trick is only saying my results are on hold.

Does anyone have any input on whether the last question being correct or not has any indication of passing?

A lot of nurses told me the best advice someone had given to them was NO ONE comes out of that exam thinking they passed. without exception. Just stay calm. You have done your best and will get your results soon. Hope you passed. :)

I hear that too.. it sucks this exam messes with our heads so much!!

I will try to relax this weekend. Thanks :)

I took mine Wednesday and found out yesterday I passed. I didn't keep exact track but mine shut off around 110. I did not think there was any way I got at least 51% correct (a Kaplan rep told my class that) but I got my quick results and passed. I think everyone comes out feeling like they failed because you don't know what kind of questions you will get and it is the biggest test of our lives! Plus, you constantly hear RUMORS about how the nclex is scored or if you get this many questions you failed or if you don't get the last one correct you fail. As long as you stay above the passing level, you pass! The number of questions don't matter!

Congrats!!!! :) Very true. It isn't fun spending my weekend like this worrying

Thanks for the input though, makes me feel a little better lol

I am in the same exact situation. I took mine yesterday and it stops at like 106, I'm positive I failed. I did the pvt and IT declined my credit card so it actually did try to run it 😭😭 I have never been so scared in my life. I'm sure I'll ve retaking it

[michellee1]

Be positive! Ive read a lot about the PVT giving a false negative to some people. Don't lose hope yet! I will pray for us!!!

[Jewelz086]

I sure hope I'm one OF those false negatives but I truly feel awful with my performance on that exam!

[Simplistic]

Oh please.. You obviously passed..

[browneyedgirl21]

Did you get a lot of OB questions ? I'm so worried I'll get a ton of those they're definitely my weakness

[FolksBtrippin, BSN, RN]

I think you passed. I passed in 75 and felt like I guessed more than half of them. Stop worrying.

So, how did you do? Did you pass?
