Took nclex today - freaking out....

DroogieRN · Jul 12, 2010

Try (I know that's easier said than done!) not to freak out! The "good pop-up" is apparently a good sign -- I took my exam Saturday afternoon, got the good pop-up all weekend, and found out at noon today that I passed. Like you, I did tons of review questions, but looking back, all that really prepared me to do was answer questions! Some of the content was completely foreign, as were most of the meds on my exam. And like you, I had literally tons of SATA; seriously, it seemed like every other question. My test shut off at 75 and I felt like I hadn't answered a single thing correctly.

I would bet money that you passed! Hang in there! :yeah:

Thanks! I sure hope your right, but I seriously have never, ever felt this way before!! I think im gonna have a glass of wine and watch a senseless movie... I will let ya know when i find out for sure!!

oh oh, I took the test on Thursday and felt the exact same way. I had 125 questions, a lot of SATA and meds i've never heard of. I'm pretty sure I failed, i got home waited a few hours and did the PVT and got the good pop up, then tried again Sat and the good pop up came up so it's the only thing keeping my hopes up.

I'm in Ca so no quick results for me, but if some people got the good pop up and failed... I'm a little more scared now...

I also took my NCLEX-RN today and I am freaking out also. The only difference is that my account status on Pearson has not changed from "Ready for Delivery" so I cant even try the PVT yet. I battled with weather to even try but I am so freaked out about that I am hoping that know one way or another would at least let me start processing what journey is ahead of me. Does anyone know if the length of time it takes for the status to change has anything to do with passing or failing? It has been 10 hours since I took the test and it is really starting to make me panic.

:chair:

I know what you mean. My stomach was turning when I left this morning. 75 questions and 10 SATA which I heard is a good number to get. So tough! I came home and did the PVT 3 different times and all had good pop ups. I will find out Wed. morning if I passed.

Thanks all, but i really dont know how to make it through another day of waiting, although i really feel i failed, i have a glimmer of hope left... lets hope the pop up thing is true, but i am preparing to start a intense study program if not! :crying2:

The status on my Pearson account finally updated to "Delivery Successful". I did the PVT, had a friend do the trick for me, and did the trick again and still the good pop-up. I really need the trick to be true. Is the Unofficial Results of the Quick Results the final answer? I have family calling to find out my results and dont want to keep them waiting, but I don't want to say that I passed until I am positive. Anyone have any advise? I will post the results of the quick results and my Official results as soon as I have them.

Good luck to everyone else how has taken the NCLEX and are waiting and to those who are about to take it.

The pvt trick is different then quick results. Quick results will be ready 48 hours after you take them, on the pearson vue site, it costs 7.95~ we did it for a friend of mine, and im on the countdown 25hours till quick results, i havent eaten a thing since i took the test, i feel sick to my stomach waiting, even though im pretty sure i failed~ I hope you passed!!!

I just checked the dept of health website and their Testing Services Exam Reporting webpage says I passed. Now to wait for my license to start applying for jobs. The Good pop-up worked.
