Took NCLEX PN Aug. 30th.....85 quest.

Published

Hello fellow NCLEX takers. I sat for my boards yesterday at noon. The comp cut off at 85 !!! I was in such a daze the hole test. I seriously feel like I only knew 10 answers and the rest I guessed. I got 4-5 SATA, LOTS of rooming in, infecton control, pharm...but no math, and data collection quest. I left the testing center in SHOCK !!! I think im still in shock....I keep going over and over quest. in my head and its driving me crazy. Im from Cali and unfortunately I wont be able to receive my results until 30-45 days :0( via mail. My gutt is telling me that I failed cuz I noticed my quest. kept going back to rooming in and infect. control. Grrr...........................

You probably did well, but I think we all understand the anxiety that comes after the exam is taken.

Your test sounds similiar to mine. I went through the same thing you are going through. I walked out of that testing center in shock and confused. I was trying to remember every question I had and I would look them up to see if I had the right answer. I think the best thing to do is to just keep yourself busy and to think positive. I waited 5 weeks and found out that I passed. When you find out that you passed in a few weeks it will be a relief to get that out of the way. Good luck to you.

All of you that have responded are soo Awesome !!! Thank you for all the support. Today was better....but I still have my moments. I feel like Im on an emotional rollercoster :0( I have decided to try and focus on me this month. Try and loose those extra pounds I put on in school :) One last thing. Should I study my books while Im waiting for my results or keep the books down until I find out my results ?

You have already studied so much. Give your mind and body a break and take it easy. I know its hard. I thought I had failed, but I didn't!! I think everyone feels like they did bad. Best wishes to you. :loveya:

I am with you!!! I just took the nclex pn on fri august 29th. I also live in ca and will not get results for at least 3 weeks.... though the board said that they are averaging closer to 5 weeks right now. my test shut off at 85. i left the test center in a daze.... I was thinking.... What on earth was that??? I seriously think that there was like one question that I was sure of my answer... like 15 or 20 sata.... only 1 math...tons of meds i had never even heard of...questions were really really vague and seemed to be totally up for interpretation, as far as what the question was asking or what one of the answers actually meant!!!! I reviewed with saunders and kaplan and eri.... did 5 mock exams in order to pass school and still this test was just totally nuts!!! Anyways lets all hope that ca bon hurries up with our results!!!! I swear if i hear one more person complianing about having to wait 2 days or even 10 days for results!!! ugh i would die to only have to wait 10 days...... HANG IN THERE GUYS!!!! BE SURE AND POST YOUR RESULTS WHEN YOU GET THEM!!!

I live in Cali and took the PN 3 weeks ago today! My test also shut off at 85 questions. I hope it is not 5 weeks for the results! The wait is a killer!!! The way I look at it is, the longer it takes, the better off you are (atleast that is what I have heard)!! Good luck on your waiting and the results!!

Gosh..........Im so tired of coworkers telling me I passed when I know I failed. Actually one coworker thinks I failed. He said my quest. were to easy. What is considered easy and what is considered hard quest ? Then I have people telling me if the last quest was hard then you passed. I dont know about all of this. Its driving me crazy !!! All I know is that I had lots of rooming in, infection control, pt. teaching, data collection, and pharm. 3,4,or 5 SATA and this one weird one...which I think was my last quest. were you select a box at the bottom of the comp and its kinda like a pt chart and it has diagnosis, v.s, and an ekg strip. they were asking about which med caused an adverse side affect. Grrrrr..............no math, no sputum collection, no catheter, no injection quest. Please help !!! Did I pass ???
