How many questions did you answer when you passed NCLEX?

75 but it took me 2 hours. The worse part was waiting 3 days for the results. I felt good about it but I knew I wouldn't be the first to fail at 75, luckily I didn't!!!

I took NCLEX-PN, and answered the minimum number of questions (85).

I am really interested in seeing the distribution of this poll when it cruises out. Hopefully there will bw about a 100 answers so it normalizes the curve...

7/10 passed with fewer than 100 questions......

I took the previous state board test pool exam and it took 2 days for 5 exams of approximately 250 questions each. Then it took a couple of months to get the results.

It's so interesting to me that they went from this mega-testing to 75 questions (of which 15 (?) don't count). It almost seems anti-climactic.

And you even ended your post with a smiley .

BTW, I answered 75 questions in around (less, I think) an hour.

First time = 265 questions in 5 hours

Second time = 75 questions in 2 hours

Another oldie here. Took NCLEX back in the paper and pencil era. 4 test sessions over 2 days at the O'Hare Expo Center in Chicago with hundreds of my closest friends. Test was offered twice a year. I took it in July, got my license in September. We received a composite score, not just a pass or fail. I don't remember my score, but when I took the paper into Nursing Administration to verify that I had passed, the secretary told me that my score was the highest she had ever seen. Made my day!

14/20 100 questions or less.
