Boards and the minimum


Hello All,
I was curious if anyone has taken boards, took the min. and still failed? I took boards yesterday.. It was hard... several I knew, several I didn't.. But I did take the minimum.

Later,


Demoking

I took it yesterday too and I also took 75?s. I've heard that if you take the min, then that's usually a good thing. Everyone in my class that's taken it with the min have passed. Good luck! Where did you take it?

I took boards in December of 2004. After I was done , I went out to my car and cried because I thought I had done really bad! I had 75 questions, and I passed. Hope this helps!

The exam is set up so that you answer about 50% of the items correctly. I guess that is why everyone walks out feeling like they failed! Here is the detailed explanation from the NCSBN.

FYI: The original poster is talking about CRNA boards, NOT RN boards. And yes, I do know someone who had the minimum number of questions, and still failed, but she didn't study except a few weeks (as in, two) before the exam. No one was really surprised.

Good luck Demoking!
