Took the NCLEX I think I failed!

Published

Hi eveveryone,

So yesterday I finally took the NCLEX after the testing sites closed due to the infamous corona Virus. I was scheduled to test on 3/17 but was my test date was cancelled due to them closing all testing sites. To be honest, I felt lost after that. I stressed over because the next available appointment was in May. That was going to be way too much time for me to wait. I kept going on the website to see if anyone would maybe change their testing date. Eventually, the testing site where I live reopened. I saw that someone had changed their exam and I was able to reschedule my exam to April 2nd. I did start studying more for the NCLEX. Even two days before the exam. Let me tell you, I felt prepared as I have been studying for two months. The test was the hardest thing I have ever taking in my life. I got about 5 drag and drop questions about 25 SATA, No calculation questions, 6 graphic questions and the rest multiple choice. I did indeed end up getting all 130 questions. I kinda felt like I was very slow at answering the questions 2 hrs had passed and I was on question 65. I took a break to recharge, I kept getting harder questions than easy ones just a similar path. I started getting a headache. I was on question 130 and I still had 30 minutes left. It was very dumb of me because I was getting very stressed out about the time and ended up rushing through the second part of the test. After I was done, I went to my car and cried. I didn't even want to do the pearson vue trick after I got home because I already knew that I had failed. Today, I did do the pearson vue and got the "bad" pop up. Now, I am trying to figure out how to study this time. I still don't know if I passed or not. But, If I did not pass I will use this experience to do better next time managing my time and not rushing through the exam.

Good Morning

I've heard of people getting the bad pop up and it being wrong so I would just wait....

I took the NCLEX yesterday as well and felt sick the whole time. When the exam shut off at 60 I was so scared that I would be the one to fail in 60 questions. I did the PVT and got the good pop up but I won't believe it until I get results.

To study I used UWorld, Mark K and NurseAchieve.

Yes I did the PVT and got the good pop up, but I wasn’t satisfied until I paid $8 and got my “unofficial results”.. I’ll feel much better once I see my lic number officially on paper LOL

Yes I did the PVT too and got the good pop up.. but I'm still nervous because I did not feel good when I walked out of the testing center. I hope that I can at least get the quick results tomorrow even though its a Sunday.. ?

I felt dazed when I walked out. Like literally confused. I just sat in my car staring. People keep asking me “Was it hard?” I don’t know. I only remember vaguely 3 questions (one being a rhythm strip around question 58)

I still can’t believe it.
when I did the PVT I still didn’t really believe it. Then Monday morning I paid and got the quick results. Still not sure if I believe it.

You’ll get your results tomorrow:) I’m sure you did great!
