Write Nclex today and just devasted

Today I write my NCLEX at 8am. Words cant described how devastated I am after finishing my exam doing 265 questions in 6 hours with only 2 seconds remaining. I rushed through the last 4 questions just guessing so that I could finish it the entire exam and not getting the last 60 marked if unfinished.

I used the Hurst online review and did all the Qreviews with an average of 88/125. I went through the video and prep books very thoroughly and I felt very confident in the content, but I just felt that the hurst content did not help me at all during the exam. I had so many weird medication questions that I had no clue of.

I also used the Kaplan strategy guide and did all the questions in the back. Felt their strategies did not help me at all

In addition I did majority of the questions in the Priority and Delegation book.

In the end I felt like a lot of the questions that I had to guess on because I had no clue what the drug/diseases were. I had a tone of priority questions, barely any delegation, about 20-30 SATA, 4 EEG, 2 Exhibits, 1 diagram, 3 calculations, 15-20 medications. I

am highly doubting myself that I passed as I just wanted to cry leaving that room. I don't even feel like checking my score after 48 hours.

Would like to know the people who passed, what strategy or prep guides that you think prepared you well for the NCLEX because I am for sure that Hurst's content helped me only 30% of the exam. I just don't know how to start studying again or what I should use

any help is appreciated

    Everyone feels this way after the test, and many of us pass with 265 questions. Relax for a couple of days and wait for the quick results before you start studying again!

    Did you do the trick? You can have a pretty good idea how you did. I also got 265 and yes it was exhausting. Don't beat yourself up. I hope you pass but if you didn't remember you passed nursing school and you will pass this exam. So will I. Hang in there and wait for your results first.

    Just to let everyone know I am a first time writing educated in Canada

    I used Hurst Review, studied religiously, Kaplan strategy book, and LPA

    I went through 265 questions seating there for 6 hours

    Good Luck to everyone and be confident when doing the exam
