Help!!!


I have a question. I dont know if I should ask this for the safety of myself crying and whatever...but...I took my NCLEX-PN today and my test shut off after the 85th question and by the way I had 5 select all that apply. Now, everyone in my class that had 85 questions passed...do any of you know anyone that failed with 85 questions?

My theory is this. If I wasnt doing to hot at 85, would they keep on going until I got to 205 and if I was still failing at 205 then have a fail?
I am just wondering what is the probability of my failing at 85 questions...HELP!

Just scroll down and read NCLEX posts in the last few months regarding this question.... Someone asks the same thing about every week
My test shut off at 85 and I passed. Unless you totally bombed it, you passed at 85.

Hello there! This is a great one for me to answer. I took my last test and did not pass at 85. I took it again and ended may I say again at 85 and this time Passssed. So I am proof it can go both ways. The last time I did not get select all that apply. This time around I got 5-6 that apply. If the computer was not sure by the time you got to 85 you would have gotten more until it is 95% sure of the results you did. Whether it is pass of not. Ive known people to pass at even 150 too. That's not really a popular number. But it is possible to go to 205. You can pass at 205 too. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi! I agree with KAT. I just took my boards in July and it shut off at 85. I felt horrible! But I passed! I think you did fine! I have been told many times that 85 is a good thing!!!!! Good Luck

Congratulations. I was reading your post and was saying to myself "I bet if I scroll down there's going to be a post saying this poster passed." Happily I was right! Congratulations.

99.9999% of the NCLEX takers leaving feeling like a failure but most of us pass. Good luck in your career.
