Took my NCLEX-RN today!

Published

Hi guys!

So I finally took my exam today at 12:00 pm. Finished with 75 Qs at 1 hour and 20 mins approximately. It was sooooooo hard! I think that almost 50% of the questions I got was SATAs. What's up with that?

So I decided not too try the PVT and just wait for the quick results (I'm in Michigan).

I really hope I passed. Anyways, I'm so happy this is behind me.

Good luck to us all!

Congrats! Best of luck with results!

I've heard people get a lot of SATA as the 15 experimental questions that they're testing out! Don't know how true it is/isn't but I wouldn't let that alone stress you out! :)

Lot of sata's actually a good sign..I would suggest to try PVT you will feel better but if you don't want to then its okay.Good Luck and keep us posted :)

SATA....select all that apply? Did you take a review course? DO you think it helped?

Yes - SATA means select all that apply.

Didn't take a course, just used the saunders review book and the CD that comes with it, plus nclex 4000 & Kaplan Q-trainer.

I estimated my test was about 40% SATA, I had 76 questions, and I passed. Not looking would drive me NUTS, lol, I checked in the lobby before I even left the building!

FYI - I know it varies from state to state, but here in Nebraska I was not able to get quick results until 48 hours after the test, but I'm so glad I didn't pay for them, because my nursing license number was up on the Nebraska website within 72 hours.

thank you all for you kind words!

as I'm time passes and the stress defuses, I'm starting to remember more and more questions and I think I did pretty well (knock on wood). I now remember I had lots of Qs on infection control, too. I would say around 7-10. not that much pharmacology...

I don't think I'll wait for the results on the BON b/c that means I'll have to wait for Monday. and if the quick results are on time I should be able to see it as soon as Saturday afternoon...

I'll keep you posted, thanks so much for you support!

I took it today in FL and had a test very similar to what you describe: a lot of SATA's , and a lot of infection control, and stopped after 75.

Pearson site said I can't register, so I guess that's good (?).... I'm anxious to see my result, as I am sure you are too. Good luck! I hope we both passed!
