Took boards today... not sure how to feel.

Published

Well, everything about this test is so confusing. I just don't know how to feel about it. My test cut off at 75 (which can be good or bad). I had lots of priority and multiple answer questions (again, good or bad). Does the anxiety go away anytime soon or do I just have to wait for my results?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

kk

I took the boards today as well... Im in the same boat as you are. I felt like every question was confusing! My computer shut off around 100-110 questions, at least that is what I think. I got a lot of priority questions and cardiac questions. I only got one (select all that apply), I dont know if thats bad or good... Im freakin out but Im going to try to distract myself and watch tv or go to the gym. Maybe that would help for you? But dont feel like you are the only one feeling like this, cuz I feel the same way. High hopes k!

I'm sure we both did fine... but you can't help but worry. Don't forget to post your results here. I'll be praying for us both...

Yeah for sure. Im scared but Im just going to keep strong! As for spejsa, no worries I hear that a lot of people pass that go through all 265 questions. Just keep your head up! Dont stress yourself out. Think positive! Tha is what I'm trying to do =)

Don't let this get you down. You very well could have passed with 265. I honestly think that nobody outside of NCSBN has the "magic formula" for what passes or fails the boards. Some computer algorithm has been written that calculates this. We, mere mortals, cannot without the special decoder ring. Try to stay positive (I'm also saying this to myself today!) and just do something that makes you happy. Today is your well-deserved break!

Goodness!!! Well, I lost confidence when I didn't graduate last May. I missed my med-surg class by 2 questions on the final. So, I graduted in December. I wouldn't have such no-confidence if it weren't for that. But, I went in there and said "I am gonna do this". Maybe I didn't, but I wasn't gonna stress myself out with thinking I would fail.
