Took NCLEX RN today....265?'s

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi Everyone, I am new here, I found this web sight to be very helpful with depression.:o I sat boards today and got 265 darn questions. I thought I was so prepared for the thing, and now I feel as if school wasn't really worth much. Anyone else feel this way? Anyone get 265 recently and passed/failed? Im really not sure what to think, I had tons of prioratizing care (who would I see first), Tons of pharm, and discharge info to be included. I feel so duh, so many of the answers could have been right , its that picking the "initial" thing that's got me so rattled. Do more people fail that get 265, or pass? please help.

My friend got 265 and finally got her results yesterday. She took it Feb 3 and she passed, another friend took it 265 and passed, and my friend had 3 friends pass with 265. I'm sure you are fine. I am freaking out because I got 75 and if I fail that means the computer knew I was really stupid really fast.

Specializes in Gynecology/Oncology.

Does the last question matter or not? I hear/read mixed interpretations of this. My Kaplan book says at 265, the type of question that is last is what matters. I just can't see them making a decision based on one question.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. I have spent the last two hours reading people's messages. I am just about in tears. I am so happy for you all. I have to take my boards on Mar 24. I read one and it said, people who wait 3-6 months to take the exam, may fail. That sent chills up and down my spine. I just graduated in Dec. I took the Kaplan course, but I am still terrified. I feel there is so much to review. I really don't know how to study for this thing. I think this is an excellent site. Know one really understands us, but the ones that have gone through and are going through this. I am a Christian woman and I know what God has for me, is for me. He knows how much nursing means to me. I also know that he did not give us the spirit of fear. So why am I so scared? Seems like I need to pray for courage, along with faith, wisdom, and knowledge, huh! We'll thanks for letting me vent. I've been on this computer for hours now and I have a headache. So good night and hope to hear from you guys.

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience!!! Many, many people get 265 and pass. I've seen it on this board more times than I can count. When I took my NCLEX review course, I was told that if you get all 265 questions than it means that whether you pass or fail is based on if you get the last question right or not. So if you feel good about that last one, then you've got a great chance!!!

Wrong information.

Answering last question right or wrong is not the final predictor if you will pass or not.

Suzanne is right. The pass/fail decision is never based on just one question. The first question, the last question, or any other single question cannot predict if you passed or failed.

OK, don't be scared. You can do this!

NCSBN did a study and did find that success rates decrease the longer you wait. HOWEVER, please, please, please keep in mind that the majority of people pass! Waiting does not mean you are going to fail. You have to remember there are many variables involved in the decreased-success-when-waiting study results. You are reviewing and that is going to INCREASE your chances of success.
