I took the NAPLEX today. I'm relieved it's over but now WAITING for the results is painful. Now fear & doubt have taken over. On that exam there were so many things I didnt know or were very unsure of. Not to mention a math I couldn't figure out I am haunted by possible test scores, failure, passing, my job, my salary. As I said the nightmares have taken over. Just wanted to share that experience & vent a bit. Anyone understand? Felt this way & passed?
 
I would say a large portion of the people that have read your post and passed can understand your feelings of frustration and fear. The best advice I can give you (from being in your shoes) is to wait it out and not dwell on the questions...I can still remember and quote word for word several questions that I missed that I knew the answers to after taking the test, and I passed the Naplex in July....unfortunately no amount of reassurance from the people here well ease your mind until you get your results. I hope you can find something to occupy your time and mind with until you get your score, but I know that is waaaaaaay easier said than done...until you get the results, do your best to remember questions that you felt super confident on and focus less on the negatives of your testing experience. Best wishes to you!
 
I know that what I'll say won't make you feel restful but I was in your shoes up to yesterday morning...

After I left the exam I cried for 2 hours straight... the whole exam was a total disaster. I couldn't sleep becuase at moments I thought I might pass just a little bit then again at others I totally believed I'll fail...
I did two prenaplex tests... 1 week before the exam I got 92 because I was a total wreck and the second I did 3 days before the exam and got 109...

To make a long story short I ended up passing with 107... Honestly, up till this moment I believe it was for God's glory... I prayed so much...

The Lord Jesus didn't just pass me but also I did SO well...

Don't worry... Been there done that... You'll respond to me in a couple of days and you will tell me you passed 🙂 Don't lose sleep over it... Good luck 🙂
 
My question is this... If I took the exam yesterday (Wednesday, 9/12), will I be able to see my score on the NABP website by Friday? I am in a state in which your score can be shown on their website.

I probably failed it. I didn't feel comfortable with many of the questions given except for the majority of the math. I will admit that I did not prepare like most on this forum. People speak of studying for months ahead of time. I did not... by a long shot.

I guess we'll see.

Don't worry... You'll pass... Maths is important and most of the exam is maths. You'll pass, you'll see...
I guess that's how I passed myself.

And yes, you'll know Friday after 9.30am ... Good luck 🙂
 
hey... i just took the exam yesterday too and my experience was total opposite of yours i was so nervous going into the exam but the first few questions made me calm they were easy to read and actually were really easy but i totally had forgotten so i know i didnt get the right. As i have never been to Pearson centers before I loved the environment it was very very relaxing and I had my own little corner to sit in very comfortably. my exam was very straight forward very simple questions( not that I knew them all) I had A LOT of math questions and at the beginning they were easy and got so tough that I spent 10 mins on one questions and still could not figure it out after the exam I had to work so totally forgot about it and after wards I enjoyed being home cooked cleaned and watched tv. I am worried about my score but I have a feeling that If I fail Ill be really surprised.
 
Good luck, Carla! I just got mine after 8 days here in CA. It really was a long, excruciating wait because we can't see the results online and I was hyperventilating before opening the letter!
 
I cant even find out my result since I am in PA do you guys knows when I can see my result? Its so frustrating to wait !!!
 
An update 9/16/12: I PASSED the NAPLEX!! Thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement and prayers. Good luck to everyone still having to take NAPLEX & MPJE Now on to MPJE studying...

Wait... What?!?!?! You took it after me and got your score before me? I have been waiting for 3 freaking weeks now and still no score!!! E-mailed the board with no answer. I'm seriously dying here... This does not look good... everyone that I know that passed all got their score in about a week... so what does this mean? fml...

It has officially been 21 days now... Has anyone else experienced this in Cali? This is miserable...
 
I'm so sorry to hear that, wucool. 8 days seemed so long, I can't imagine waiting for 21 days! I took my test last Sept 6 and got the result in the mail Sept 14, so yes, 8 days after. You should keep emailing them. They've been prompt with their response from my experience. I don't have a clue what's going on as I haven't heard/read about delayed sending of the NAPLEX result as yet. I really hope you can get some response from the Board soon.
 
Thank you!!! I guess I'm the only unlucky one... I hope that doesn't mean anything. I'll try my best to get an answer out of them...

After how many days the scores are available online. I took my Naplex and MPJE together last friday but still didn't get the results.

It's only available online for certain states. There is a list of states on the NABP website that allow viewing NAPLEX/MPJE scores online.

If you live in one of those states, 2 business days.
