I have not taken it yet! I just graduated and am in the process of studying for it. I am taking Kaplan right now. But you know what, 82 questions, that sounds like a pretty good number to me!! I will be praying for you and I wish you luck!! And congrats on getting through it!!
It was a lot harder than I expected. I took a review course and nothing on the exam reflected the course, I was really disapointed. I am so nervous!! I cant think about anything else!!

I don't mean this in any way to belittle what you are feeling but as an "old nurse" in every sense of the word, this gave me a smile!
Remembering when I took the test, two days, on paper, only offered twice a year, and then waited months for the results......And we stressed out over rumors of the size and shape of the envelope rather than number of questions as an indicator of pass/fail!
Any other "oldies" out there smiling now?

I am studying for NCLEX now too, and will be taking a review course with Linda Silvestri, who authored a Saunders exam book. How is Kaplan? My course, starting next week is mon-fri from 8am to 4pm. I am assuming it will help me.
Lets wait and see.

Moved to the NCLEX forum, sure you will find many in the same boat as you waiting for results.
Good luck

Welcome to the site
NCLEX is not an exam that is easily predicted. Good luck
So did you find out how you did???

Results are not available on Pearson-Vue website until 48 hours after you test.
Best of luck to you.
this reply is for 3kittiesRn, i did pass the nclex. i am currently job hunting. most places i've been to do not want to hire nurses fresh out of school.
