Took NCLEX yesterday and FREAKING OUT!!

Published

OK soo I know everyone freaks out after they take NCLEX.... Everyone says they feel like they failed!! Well i really feel like I failed. I graduated with a 4.0 from a BSN program in December and I just took the NCLEX yesterday.... i was so anxious during the test. Before the test began I prayed it would shut off at 75... then as I grew closer to question number 75 I was begging it not to shut off!! I felt like I needed time to redeem myself..

I started off with fairly "easy" questions.. Well they seemed easy but I didn't know the answers... I could tell the test was getting easier.. then harder... then easier...harder ect.... I then got a lot of priority questions at the end (around 15-20)... but no "experimental" type questions. I had maybe 6 check all that apply. But nothing too strange... Then at 75 it did shut off...

I went home and looked up the only questions I could remember.. Which was only like 10... i missed probably 8 of those... I don't know if I am only able to remember those questions because I struggled with them or what.. But now I am stressing out so bad...

I already have a job lined up and I cannot afford to fail.. What do y'all think about it shutting of at 75? Aren't priority questions "higher" level questions??

:uhoh21: STRESSING!!!

Hello I took my NCLEX at 9am yesterday and am going NUTS!!!

I shut off at 75 also.

Do you have any reliable stats on pass fail at 75?

I took mine yesterday and feel miserable about it. It is good to know that others left the test feeling the same way. I sat in the parking lot and cried. I know I answered more than 75 but less than 100. I am not sure if I was in the 90s yet or not :-( Is that a bad sign? I left there feeling like a total dummy! I cannot believe how much I didn't know.

Oh well, I find out tomorrow.

Hello Everyone

Thank GOD I passed and am now realizing my dream of being an RN. I just found out yesterday morning.

GOOD LUCK to all of you who haven't tested yet

I'm living proof that dreams really do come true.

Thank GOD I passed too! I am still pinching myself. It doesn't seem real to me yet that I am an RN now. Good luck to all who are headed to the NCLEX soon.
