Took my NCLEX today...

Published

Took my NCLEX today at 2. I walked out of there completely convinced that I failed. The level of difficulty on my questions didn't seem hard, and I even got a question regarding labs and it gave me the ranges for the norm! I thought, "Jeez, I must be doing awful if it thinks I don't even have common lab ranges memorized." I had 78 questions. I started crying before I even got my stuff out of my locker. I got home and immediately did the PVT and got the good pop-up, although I'm convinced I'll be the first person it's not accurate for! I felt well prepared until my first question. Just looking for some encouragement I guess, I would super appreciate it. :) I know I'm meant to be a nurse and I know I'm at least minimally competent.

CONGRATS to everyone who passed!! I hope to join you guys next week!!

I've been doing kaplan questions and keep getting between 55-65% range. I'm starting to freak out. Should I be getting higher??? I've never gotten into the 70s. I'm trying NOT to allow myself switch my date further back, but its so tempting....ughh

Feathers, I'm sure you did fine! I also thought 78 was strange. Like it took an extra 3 questions to either prove myself worthy or not. I spent so much time on those 3, they're probably what made me pass. Plus I now swear to the Pearson Vue Trick. I really, really thought I failed, I had never been so sure of anything.

birdie22, those are pretty much the scores I got. Don't push it back! Everyone told me the sooner, the better. Everyone says Kaplan questions are harder than the actual test. I'm not sure if I agree with that. They weren't as "trickally" (not a word, LOL) worded but still similar. I think you're ready with those scores! Good luck!!

I took mines today as well. I didnt look at the number of the last question but it had to be around 180 or something close to that from the last time I had checked. I did the pvt and got that the candidate is already registered which i read to mean that they have some more reviewing to do. So I cant get excited or let down yet. Just keeping my fingers crossed. My exam had a lot of priority delagation questions and 1 lab value. About 12 SATA and 6 calculations. Hard wasnt even the word. I began to get extremely tired at about 95 questions. I just hope I pass. Pleassse God. If not I will continue to have faith and just try again. Thats the only thing we can do after spending so much time and energy in school to do this. We cant give up! Good luck to everyone taking the exam and continue to keep faith. For now just waiting anxiously:uhoh3:
