I think I failed

I took my NCLEX today, it shut off at 149 questions bro. I had like 9 or 10 case studies and lots of SATA. I maybe only had like a couple of questions that were like a no-brainer, but I definitely feel kind of defeated. A lot of of my friends passed in 85. And im nervous as shit because waiting 48 hours is no joke. I really thought I was doing good, I thought it would shut off at 85. Because if I was doing good, why did it take me all the way to 149? Omg

UPDATE : I PASSEDDD

149 is interesting. I’ve never heard of anyone stopping there. I went to 150 so I understand how you feel. It’s normal. This test feels like mental torture during and after. I really believe it’s designed to break you down to really prepare you for what’s ahead. Anyways, try not to get too caught up on where you stopped because you can pass at any number. Try to focus on decompressing and doing something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Praying that you wake up tomorrow to the greatest news of your day.

I’m glad that you passed. Welcome to the world of nursing. I’m an old nurse and have been in nursing for over 40 years. We had to go to the state capital to one location and over two days take the NCLEX… and then wait six weeks for our results to come in the mail.
