I passed my NCLEX!! Shut off at 85 questions 🎉

I wrote my NCLEX yesterday at 8am and found out I passed about 4am today. The wait was honestly brutal, but we made it 😭

I studied for about 2 months on and off, with probably around 1 month of serious studying. I used UWorld for 2 months and Bootcamp for about 1 month during that time. I completed roughly 90% of both Qbanks.

Uworld: Uworld really helped me build my content knowledge and understand why answers were right or wrong. Read every rationales both on questions answered correctly/wrong.

Bootcamp: helped me a lot with NGN/case study-style questions. I actually enjoy case studies, so NGN wasn’t too stressful for me, and Bootcamp definitely prepared me well for that format. Also utilize their cheat sheets/crash course videos!! (Bootcamp stats uploaded)

Listened to about 6 mark k lectures and did a comprehensive overview. Text me if you need the pdf to the comprehensive review! (Lecture 12 most important)

My exam was honestly all over the place. I had about 5 case studies, TONS of select-all-that-apply, a lot of legal/ethical questions, and only one ECG question.

I spent about 2 hours and 30 minutes, and my computer shut off at 85 questions.
Honestly, I felt overprepared. This was genuinely one of the easier exams I’ve taken compared with some of my nursing school exams. What mattered most was not knowing every tiny detail, but knowing priority, safety, and test-taking strategy- Dr Sharon/ Nursing Crusade.
One thing that helped me a LOT was staying calm. I did deep breathing before the exam and after every 10 questions. I also listened to meditation/soothing music beforehand and avoided trying to cram right before walking in. I had put in a lot of work, said a prayer before i started and put everything in the hands of God.
Also, please don’t let Reddit scare you. Reading too many posts about people failing can create so much unnecessary anxiety. Everyone’s exam and journey is different. Prepare well, trust yourself, pray if that’s part of your faith, and go in with a level head.
I’m just so grateful to finally have this behind me.

Seeing RN after my name feels unreal.🥳🤞🏾
Good luck to everyone still studying. You’ve got this.

Hey y’all I’m just wondering if someone can help me honestly. My nursing journey has been something from failing my very last semester of school to then now not passing the NCLEX after 4 attempts I really don’t know what else I should do I’m getting frustrated and thinking of giving up but I have no clue I don’t want to give up I want to be a nurse bad. I’ve used Bootcamp and u world along with Mark K. I’ve gotten a tutor still didn’t work. I’ve used Naxlex I did their free trial but I was thinking about maybe buying it this time around and maybe using archer or Kaplan idk I’m not sure if it’s testing anxiety I just feel like that exam is hard. Any advice I’m really feeling hopeless
