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.

Hey! Did you end up passing!? Hope you did!!

When I first took my NCLEX-PN in 2017 I got the max amount of questions and failed. I studied so hard and wasn’t able to retake until 4 months after my first attempt! I thankfully passed in 85 questions the second attempt. I was not able to afford U-World so I just used my ATI and online study questions. I was able to find my name on the BON the next day after taking my exam. I am not sure if that works in all states? Currently continuing for my RN. I hope everything works out for you!!
