Hey, this is a GREAT place to come to de-freak, lol.....if you look around, you'll see LOTS of people having all 265 questions, and also see them passing! :) The number of questions you have doesn't mean anything....you probably did alot better than you think you did! Hang in there :)

Well, now the LONG wait for the results (48 hours seems like a lifetime right now)! I am so glad that we don't have to wait 6 weeks to receive it by mail.

I tested this morning--scheduled for 0900, was able to start at 0820. (I was in the parking lot at 0740!! You never know what traffic will do!) I finished in an hour!

I had 75 questions with a lot more psych than I expected and NO math. I have no idea how I did. Good luck to all of you waiting to go today!! Is it Thursday yet???

I wish it WAS Thursday, lol.....because that would mean MY test was over already! I have to wait until tomorrow :uhoh3:

Hang tight! :)

OK - well after an hour and 25 minutes and 75 questions later, the evil NCLEX is over!!! My nerves are absolutely shot!! I have no clue as to whether or not I failed and to be perfectly honest, I am dreading the next 48 hours. I feel like I am going to go insane!! The worst part about it is that the people who took the real estate exam the same time were getting their results right when they left!! I was SO JEALOUS!!! Maybe someday nurses will be able to get their results instantly. Until then....48 hours and counting!!!! :uhoh21: :uhoh21: :uhoh21:

Hi everyone,

I'm using the Kaplan program to review and practice some questions, but I think that even with the most confident program, the nervouness are the same...I'm going to take my test on Aug 15, so I still have 4 weeks left, but I study hard 6 days a week and answering the most questions I can.

Good look to all those who going to take the NCLEX ....God is going to bless us for choosing that charitable career: nursing

What a horrid exam. Mine kept going after 75 questions. It ended at an oddball number; 178. I don't know what to think. The last two questions seemed easy, so I don't know what that means. It was more like riddical (like a riddle) thinking than critical thinking. My nerves are shot too.

I did not use Kaplan (honestly, I have heard Kaplan mentioned a lot, but have no idea how it is even set up) but have heard good things. I took a 5 day review class (they recommended getting in 7,000 - 10,000 practice questions)and I had Saunder's Comp review book, Mosby's NCLEX flashcards as well as another book of just questions. What I found to be the BEST was the NCSBN's review program online (http://www.learningext.com/products/rnreview/review.asp).

You pay for a certain number of weeks to have access to it ($50 for 3 weeks). It is set up in sectioned-outlined form. I think there is 1050+ pages of review along with 1250 questions. This was fabulous. I was able to get through all of the review pages in about 8 days and left the rest of my time for practice questions (I spent about 6 hours a day studying). I just tested today, so I can't tell you that it helped me pass--'cause I don't know yet!! (But, I did feel very calm taking the test because it felt familiar)

But, it is the most like the actual NCLEX in terms of questions types and set up. If you have a month, I would totally recommend checking this site out. Because it is by the NCSBN, you can count on it being accurate info relevant to the NCLEX. Good luck!!

Hi Adoni

Thanks for the advice I will check it out!! I hear good comments about Saunders, and acutally it was the one I was thinking to use it before I decided to pay for the Kaplan, but they went to my school to offer us and explain how it worked, that they convinced me, besides to being informed by other friend about their experience with Kaplan, they also recommeded it to me, so, I'm using it right now, I have online access, and in the website, they give us a review content, that I can follow with my book, after I took a little quiz about that specific topic. It also includes a serie of 7 tests that help you with the time management. The first two are knowledge questions, the rest, are more critical thinking and aplication, as well as time management (the last two tests, are 200 and 265 questions) they said that the format is very similar to the NCLEX, so they try to teach us how to understand the questions, how to eliminate the distractors and how to prioritize according with the ABC's or Maslow's pyramid..I think it may help me, since I'm was not the "A" student I usually got B's and C's during the nursing program I have to study hard and use it very effectively. So, I'm want to think positive all the time, and you may have to think the same, think always that you going to pass it, you'll see, soon we going wear the tittle "RN" after our names,:nurse: So, good luck for your test...

Hey All, new to this site!!! I just tested today and sure glad it's over. Now I just have to wait like everyone else, which is the most nerve wracking part. My computer shut off around 120-130, I really can't remember. Good Luck to all those awaiting their results and to those who have yet to take it! :yelclap:
