Took NCLEX RN stopped around 130

Published

Hi there. I am in need of some kind words. I took the NCLEX RN on Monday and it stopped around 130. I didn't really know because after 80 I started to get so upset I wanted to walk out. Everyone in my graduating class passed with 88 or less. I did Kaplan and really felt it didn't help much for the cost. I know that I got the last one right before it shut off. Does anyone know if that is a good sign? I can't sleep or eat and my kids are starting to notice the anxiety. I have two out of four who are special ed and the stress isn't good for them either. Please, if anyone has any ideas I could really use them.

Have a great day,

Mirna:crying2:

Mirna, here is my idea: Celebrate all that you have accomplished in order to be able to take the test in the first place! Think about everything you've had accomplished to get to where you are, and find something to take your mind off waiting for your results--you've earned this break. :yeah::yeah::yeah:

You said that you got the last one right--the way I understand CAT assessments, if you get a question right it asks a higher-ranked question. The first 75 questions include 15 "test" questions, which may include #75. The CAT program has to ask a minimum of 75--even after competency is established (or otherwise), which means it wouldn't matter if you got #75 wrong or right. That being said, it (in my perfect world) shouldn't shut-off on a correct question (exceptions would be at 75, 265, or time has run out) unless you've stayed over the passing standard.

All that to say 130 is not the end of the world. I'm sure we would stress at 75, 88, 130, or 265. You'll have your results soon enough; in the meantime enjoy not doing Care Plans!
