Unhappy Nclex nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well took Nclex today and I had between 110-120 questions. Im pretty sure I got the last question right. Everything I read is that people either got 75 or 265 questions. What about the in-between numbers I did not think I would feel like this. I had about 4-5 check all that apply (sure I got those wrong) it seemed like in the end I was getting the same kind of questions (I tend to score low on basic care and comfort) the last question was on bucks traction. I cant even remember how many priority etc. I will find out on Thurs. Can anyone let me know how they did with the in between numbers 76-264???????????????????

Most actually get in between, not the two extremes. The number of questions means absolutely nothing in determining if you passed or failed.

Go have some fun over the next two days and get your mind off of this, it won't change the outcome. You deserve it..............

I also had around 116-120 questions and passed. Relax and go do something to get your mind off of the test. Good luck!!

Good luck to you. Don't stress over the number of questions, as Suzanne said, that means nothing.

Re: Nclex nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had 166 questions and passed, so being in the middle is perfectly okay. I know it's almost impossible not to worry, and I wanted reassurance too. But everyone is right. The numbers don't mean anything, in terms of passing or failing. Be positive and find ways to distract yourself in the next 48 hrs (yeah I know that's definitely impossible!)

Best wishes and let us know how you did.

The amount of questions you receive does not mean anything. Many people receive more than 75 questions and they did just fine. Relax about the numbers. The computer needs as many questions answered to ascertain a level of basic competence.
