Update on NC Nclex Results

Published

Hello.. Just to let everyone know about how NCBON is with posting the results of your NCLEX.. I took my first NCLEX RN in July and ended up having the whole 265 questions taking just at about 5 hours.. An utter nightmare.. I took the test in Florida for a NC license. It took exactly 9 days before receiving the dreaded big brown envelope telling me that I was NEAR PASSING. (Was verrrry dissappointed.) Seems that NCBON doesn't participate in the 2 day quick results program like a lot of the other states.

I was determined to pass this darn test.. I started studying again, this time spending more time on answering questions and reviewing content. I used the Saunders Green book concentrating on the comprehensive exam in the back. I also read the EXAM CRAM book from front to back and did the exams. In addition, I did the KAPLAN review course and utilized the Question Trainer software provided. It helped a lot. I Retook the test on Thurs 9/8/05. They post results Monday and Thursday nights between midnight and 3am.. I have been extremely worried since I checked the website continuously but with no results found.. So, after not recieving anything in the mail today, I called the NCBON phone verification and found the HOLY GRAIL..Whew... It was there.. Can't tell you how much of a relief that was.. I had everything riding on passing this exam. Anyway, it has been 8 days exactly and they just issued the license today on 9/16/05. So, for those in NC that are taking the NCLEX, try to be patient.. They will eventually get to your test and post the results.. Can't say that those 8 days or so will be anxiety free though..

On my retest, I had 118-120 questions.. I know for sure that the last question was correct. Not sure, but it seems that if the test cuts off at a certain number of questions, the last question that you answer should be a good indicator of what side of the fence you are on..

Glad to hear that you passed.:)

But those are both rumors, the number of questions has absolutely no bearing on the pass/no pass of the exam, as well as if you got the last question right that you passed, and if you missed it, you did not pass.

I have to agree with that one hundred precent, I know for a fact that I got my very last question wrong on my NCLEX when I took it and I passed with 81 questions. I remembered the last question adn went home and looked it up, then stressed for two days.
