I would assume that you had to answer them correctly.

after the exam, i came home and check the answer that i found out, that i for sure get 3 wrong and i have many questions regarding the " priority", " first" to check the patient. does that mean i pass or not??

Hi, and welcome to allnurses.com

The only sure way to find out if you have passed the nclex is to wait until the state sends you documentation either way. The amount of questions is in no way an indicator of passing or failing (I know people who had 85 questions and failed, and 200 questions and passed.) Imagine the test to be like a balance beam... if you correctly answer questions, weight goes to the 'pass' side, if you answer questions incorrectly, weight goes to the 'fail' side. When the scale tips over, the test is over, the number of questions is variable...

hope that helps

Please advise, do you know how long will the NCLEX will sent you the result?? and is it posssible to check the answer on the web site?? thank you

There is no way to check your answers on their website, you can only use review books to review.

It depends on which state that you are in as to how quick that you will find out if you passed or not. If your state participates, you can find out on Pearson-Vue website in 48 hours after paying the $7.95 fee.

85 questions could mean that you passed. Or it could mean you failed. The number of questions is the number of questions.

Is English your first language?

Good luck!

Check your states website, alot of them you are able to check out people's licenses, look up your name. That's how I found mine in the state of MI, TN and Florida (not at all the same time but...) Anyhow that's public record checking into the status of health care providers licenses.

Good luck!
