While I was happy to have the last proctored exam behind me, I feel that it definitely could have gone better than it did. I think that the proctored setting is so different for me and that concerns me for the upcoming NCLEX. I found that I started off feeling confident and focused in my exam. Once I got to around 120 questions, I started to get tired, other people started leaving, and I felt my anxiety levels rise. I know that I started rushing through the questions at this point and that hindered my performance.

My probability of passing the NCLEX needs work. I think my plan of taking at least 4 weeks to study before sitting for the exam is going to be beneficial. After this Comprehensive Predictor I know that I need to take more practice exams and study more content. I also need to find a way to calm myself down during structured test taking. When taking the NCLEX, I can’t base my speed off of when others stand up and walk out because everyone tests at their own pace and I shouldn’t rush myself because of that.
