Took NCLEX after the number of questions changed....

Published

Hi everyone!
So I’m new to this and I just need to vent because I am going CRAZY!
Due to COVID19 the amount of questions on the NCLEX has been changed.
I took my test this morning at 1100.

This is my third time taking it. I did all 130 questions which is the max. Amount of questions at the moment. My last question was a SATA.
most of the questions were SATA and prioritization!! I left the testing site not knowing what to feel ?

Of course I tried the PVT trick with the wrong exp date and security number .... and got the bad pop up ?? I don’t know what to think... but this sure is heartbreaking.

Does this mean I for sure failed or I just need to put the correct cc info and try again ? ?

I just took mine on 4/17 and I found out that I failed. I was so sure that I passed, I used Uworld and score 60%, but I still failed. This is my second attempt, any suggestions or anyone advice on what to use to study or study partner. Please help. I feel like giving up and throwing in the towel. ?

Don’t give up..I know this has to be tough but giving up is not the way to go. You just have to go harder. Have you thought about going to a review. I’m sure they are probably doing them online now. The people who are doing reviews actually show you how to take NCLEX. Push harder! It will be worth it!

No I haven’t done an online review or any review. Where or who do you suggest. Thanks for the word off encouragement. This will be my third time.

Yes I heard of Mark Klimek. I just found the test to be very tricky. I am not good at test taking; the computer adaptive test is just so difficult

Please don’t give up! Keep going. It’s a perfect timing for everything and sometimes while in the middle of the storm we can’t see the rainbow. But it’s there!!

I did Mark for my second time and tried to read Saunders. This time I bought Remar Quick Facts. It helps a lot. Sums it all down to what you need to know and I promise everything on that test today I saw in that book. Keep going but my number one suggestion is to find ONE tool that works for you. Doing too much overwhelms you and makes you want to give up

So true.. you have to find that one thing that makes it click for you. Honestly with me I would have done better going with the knowledge I got from school. I tried so hard to remember everything from Uworld that I was missing simple questions that I knew the answer to.

Man that is the truth!! They drill in our heads UWORLD UWORLD but I agree the content from school would have better equipped me for this test. I still have my UWORLD subscription playfully I passed today and don’t need it anymore ?

Yes for me. But I only did her quick facts. Nothing else.

You got this. I still have mine too. I’m so disappointed that I failed.
