How long did it take you to complete the NCLEX? Including the overview at the begining it took me just under 40 minutes. I only took 75 questions. Is this normal? I know I'm a fast test taker but this seems really fast?

I had 75 questions and it took about 45 minutes. I had a friend who is usally a really slow test taker and it took her less than an hour, so no, it doesn't seem overly fast.

It took me one hour and 10 minutes. I usually take my time on tests but I only allowed myself about a minute for each question.

one hour for 75 questions. That was from the time I walked in the test center doors until I was out to my car.

It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes for 75 questions. I am normally a fast test taker but did not want to miss anything on those questions.

It took me about 20 minutes for 75 questions, probably because I'm a speed-reader. It still scared me when the computer shut off after the minimum number, though.....four years of blood, sweat and tears had gone into preparing for this test, and it was all over with in less than half an hour.
Of course, I passed.
