Yesterday v Today

ok everyone who's been glued to this site as I have this past 48 hours...

Seems like those who tested yesterday for NCLEX RN got 75 and are not faring so well. But those who tested today got 85 and seem to be feeling much more confident.

Is there a scheme here or is my anxiety at being shut down at 76 and thinking I knew about 3 of those questions only is playing mind games?!?!!?

Still nothing posted on Pearson Vue Quick results page. I hear there is a way to view on GA Bon, but I'm not getting anything there either

Comments for the angst-ridden? :barf02::barf02:

It truly does play games with you. The exam is designed so that both passers and failers get 50% right. The determinant of pass/fail is the level of difficulty it took to keep you around 50%. With a setup like that, the NCLEX is bound to create a great deal of anxiety.

Check out the 2007 Candidate Bulletin at www.ncsbn.org for more on NCLEX structure and scoring.

My realistic mind says " I know" but my fear is telling me that there's a system beneath the system...I was so very average in nursing school. I took Kaplan in class review then I reviewed for 2+ months online, even bought the NCSBN online 3 week review. I studied as a full time job.

How is it possible I didn't know the material? Kaplan had me so ready for Insulin questions, traction questions, lots of calculations (i had NONE!) etc...but nothing Kaplan reviewed was on the test, but for 3 questions that looked almost familiar.

Sure hope they're ready to make good on their pass guarantee!!

I feel the same way. I was so calm before the test. I'm a nervous wreck since my computer went blank yesterday. Since then I've been feeling numb and stupid. My test stopped somwhere between 88 and 90s. I don't know. I was so concentrated on the test questions, that when it went blank, I went blank too. I didn't go to bed until 5:00 last night. I spend the night checking this website reading people's experiences about the test, and rereading stuff about the test in the intenet.

When I woke up this morning, I was sad and depressed. I couldn't even share how I feel about it with my family because none of them knows that I went to take the test (I didn't want to tell them because they expects a lot from me). I started doing Nclex questions thinking what I could have missed.

I'm scared. Really scared. I keep spilling stuff and I can't seem to do anything right right now. I tried listening to the radio, knit or watch tv, but i'm not focused so here i am in front of the computer doing the same thing I did last night.

Nothing doing as of 5 mins ago when I checked Pearson Vue. Shall I check the worthless GA BON? What a crappy website they have (sorry don't mean to offend; I'm doing that a lot today. Hmmmm...)

Tomorrow at 10AM will be 48 hours. *nailbiting*
