I feel for all of you that have to wait so long to find out. At the latest I will know Monday. I am taking it tomorrow at 11am. I am going to go to the BON site to see if my name shows up sooner. A few people told me they found out that way. I am getting nervous right now. I am going to stop doing questions and read my nclex book tonight. Doing something helps me calm down.

Hope you find out soon and GOOD LUCK. I will be on here tomorrow going nuts with you.

I'll find out probably monday or tuesday.

I wish I would have had more than 85 questions and now I'm starting to second guess myself.

They should make the results known right after you take the test. That would be so much better!

I took mine on Monday with three of my friends and the computer shut off at 85 for all of us. I had zero math questions which surprised me and I only had a few drug questions but I had a handful of select all that applies. I was more focused on how hot the room was and how uncomfortable the chair was and I hope I didn't screw up by breaking my concentration. I felt confident on only a handful of questions but I definitely thought that the test was easier than all the practice tests I had been taking for the last two months. California, stupidly, is not a 48 hour quick results state. They want to waste our money even more by rechecking our fingerprints, even though we have had them do this upon our application, the state likes to waste money and time by rechecking something already done. Sooooo, I have to wait for ONE MONTH before I can get my results. There are only a couple evaluators who review our paperwork and they move at a snails pace. I have already had to complain twice because I have had a job being held for me since January. I feel horrible that they are waiting for me for this long but they knew that I hadn't even graduated when they hired me.

Congrats!!!! Do you have any tips, tricks or what book to study? Greatly appreciated!

Use the nclex books and computer discs. They will help tremendously. Stay the night wherever you go to test unless it's a super short drive. Go without your family. Stay in a motel/hotel. Relax the night before. Don't study. Make sure you know your labs like ABGs and panels. All the basic functions such as renal, respiratory, cardiac and delegating to a CNA are things I would study. The NCLEX books really are great for reviewing. Good luck!
