I had 265 yesterday and feel really good about the last set of questions (especially #265). I'm SCARED, though. Anybody know what the chances of passing are at 265??? Thanks!

I second that? I just took the exam today and finished in 265. Im freaking out, but they do say that if you are still be asked questions, you are not failing, but i just don't know.I hope there is lots of input on how many of those that pass in 265 questions.

there is always 50/50 chance of passing. i had 265 questions and i failed and my cousin had the same and she passed.

good luck to you guys.

Leilah--Did you feel good about your last question (and last set of questions)? What about your cousin? I heard that if you get to that point, your last question can make or break you.

Surgnurse26--Good luck! Apparently at my school, everyone that has had 265 has passed... So I'm HOPING to continue the trend. Let me know what happens and I'll definitely do the same. I should know something around lunchtime on Monday with Quick Results!!! I can't WAIT all weekend... Goodness... The waiting is HORRIBLE!

The chance of passing, for a US-educated, first-time tester is ~85%. The number of questions you receive doesn't enter into that equation.

HI! I just took my NCLEX today and it stopped at 265. I felt that most of the test was hard but like "surgenurse26" said, I felt the last 5 or so questions to be easy ones. I was never a good test taker in school. I generally did well on papers and clinical but when it came time to take a test I was always just borderline on the pass/fail line. Well good luck to us! I hear way too many people posting, "THe computer shut off at 75 and I passed". Lets hope that 265 is our lucky number!

oh question for leilah75, your from California like me, how long did it take you to get your results? I have heard 2-4 weeks, and they told me 10-14 days at the testing center. I hope it posts fast so I can get on with it, or start preparing to take it again.
