Took My NCLEX yesterday 75 Questions - Help?

Published

Hi, all my lovely nurses and nurses to be!

I took my NCLEX yesterday in California and finished with 75 questions. I would have not called it an easy test... at all.

I DID NOT get the good pop up on Pearson though, and that is making me freak out. I just don't see how I could have bombed the test SO BAD for it to have cut me off at 75? I have been a great student in school and know my stuff! Plus, the questions I was getting I would not consider them "easy" or "low level"

I am being patient, but I can't wrap my head around the principle: If you get 75 questions either you did extremeeeely horrible that the computer didn't think you'd pass even if it gave you more questions or you met the requirement to be a nurse within those 75 questions.

So not getting the good pop up on Pearson is making me think, how could I possibly have totally bombed this test; given all I know and how much I have studied and dedicated my time to nursing.

If it helps, the PearsonVue website is also having technical issues related to a storm in the country. But I would appreciate ANYBODY's advice/help regarding this. Has anyone ever not gotten the good pop up but still passed?

By the way, I also called the state board on Friday and spoke to a lady.

I told her that I don't see anything on my Breeze account that says "Pending or Open" or no license number.

Her exact words to me were, "Well what did you expect?"

I apologized and said that I was not very well informed on how results are processed or handled.

She said, "The system is not updated until we send out letters which takes 2-4 weeks."

She said that the system varies and sometimes the license # is posted before the letters go out, and sometimes it's posted after or during the time the mail actually delivers to your address.

I tried to ask her if she knew my results, and she said, "Oh I'm sorry dear I cannot give you that information but good luck on your results!"

I hope I'm not giving myself false hope :down:

I pass my NCLEX RN on November 1, 2018. My license was posted on Saturday , Nov 3rd, 2018. Speaking of California BRN, letter I got in 1.5 weeks.

Can't you get the "quick results" from Pearson? I had my NCLEX on the 10th dec. The trick worked for me :-)

Which state are you from? Has your license posted yet?

STOP!!! You passed! Congratulations! I had exact same experience and passed! Good luck on your career.

If you passed then it should be posted on CA breeze already

OP, I'm totally dying to hear your update now that we're back online! I am also in CA, graduated in December and waiting on my ATT. Hoping for a happy update from a fellow Californian!!
