all i can say is "what the heavens!!!!!!!" took my exam today i prayed and prayed to stop at 75 when i got to 74....and then i prayed and prayed again to stop somewhere in the 100's...but i went all 265:down:. i'm drained, scared, sad and just plain ughhh. i got tons of SATA and priority about 5 or 6 math and one put in order thing but the damn test would not stop. soooo...265...is it possible to pass? i need some real up lifting as well as the truth..do those go together in this situation?!?

265 is just a number. You have a 50/50 chance with 265 of either pass or fail. Stay cool and calm ( yah right ) and wait for the results. I wish I could be of more comfort to you. Just bear in mind, it is just a number.:heartbeat

I havnt been around in awhile but i like to check in from time to time and see posts like this,
having taken the test 3 times (passing on my third attempt) i have studfied the NCLEX exam itself and have formulated my own opions. The test bank of NCLEX is 3000 questions, i have personally seen about 600 questions of that 3000.
here are some things i want to pass to you:
1. I have (personally) see MORE people pass at 265 than fail
2. S.A.T.A questions DO (again my opinion) have a correlation to passing,
I have helped about 20 people pass the NCLEX and when they give me their "NCLEX questions breakdown"--i have never been wrong
S.A.T.A OR priority questions represent the upper level questions and to pass, (my opinion) you need to have at least 10% of your exam of those questions.
example:
MY 1st time-215 quesions-8 S.A.T.A/priority questions=failed
second time-122 questions-9 S.A.T.A/ priority questions=failed
third time-251 questions-over 30 S.A.T.A/priority questions AND i RAN OUT OF TIME=passed
all my friends that gave me their stat, that had 10% of their test S.A.T.A/ priority questions all have passed anf the 2 that didnt-did not.
So, in the end when you say you got "tons of SATA questions"..thats always a good sign, so keep up your spirits !! and i truley wish the best for you !!!

that gives me relief too! the first time i took my nclex, i swear the questions were from alien world. the meds were ridiq and i was so confused. i took the test again yesterday as well and i got TONSSSSSSSSSSSS of priority questions and like 10 sata. it was the total opposite from the first test. i barely got any that time. i failed at 110 and the comp shut off at around 115 on my second attempt.
i hope i pass!! thanks for your test breakdown!
