75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?

Passed with 75, but I was not sure if I passed. I took my RN NCLEX in Sept. this year and was on pins and needles until I found out I passed. I have not known anyone that only got 75 and failed, but I have heard tails.

i just took my exam this march 22 2007 and my computer stops at 75..i am really bit sad and scared..is there any chance that i could pass the nclex? they give me so many computations and almost of the questions is really hard...damn!!!even if i study alot i think that even a single that i study didnt came up thats why im upset..pls tell me if there is a chance of passing when the computer stops at 75?because it is really unfair 2 stop at 75 it is much more scarier than answering 265 questions...i cannot sleep honestly thingking about what the results might be..thanks:bluecry1:

i took my exam this March 22, 2007 at Saipan.

had 75 items, no computation, lots of pharmacology questions...

3-4 select all that apply...

3-4 sequencing....

my last question was about infection control....

since pharma is my most dreaded subject, i'm pretty certain i failed.

i'm quite sad after the exam and asking why the computer did not give a chance to answer more question so as to had a higher chance of passing.

i went back to my hotel room crying, fell down on my knees and prayed.

feeling sorry for my sister who paid all the fees, including the air-fare and the hotel accommodation.

thank God, God decided it was my time to pass the exam...

i believe that I passed the exam because of God's helped.

to God be the glory...

God bless....

passed with 75 June 8th:)

am i one of the few who walked away at 75, feeling like i aced it?

i was actually suspicious because the test was too darned easy.

NOT so in nsg school.

I agree. I knew I passed about 3/4 of the way through. I got priority question after priority question. It was EXACTLY what my nursing school director told us it would be-the easiest test we will take in nursing school.

Our tests were by far, harder.

I went out right after the test and celebrated with a mimosa for breakfast!

Passed at 75 with 3 select all that apply, NCLEX is relatively easy compared to our local board exam here in the Philippines. I knew right then when I stopped at 75 that I will pass.

Most of my questions are prioritization, delagation, triage and infection control, if you have a solid foundations in these areas, you will surely pass. I was all smiles all throught out the exam, I was so sure I'll pass!

Alrighty...so I sat for my NCLEX on Tuesday the 10th at 8:00am. I had done the tutorial days prior so I knew when I started I could cruise through that section so that I could spend as much time on the test as possible. Anyway, I started. It started easy, you know, basic knowledge questions. Then it started to get tough. A lot of priority questions. And a big handful of Pharm questions...I had no clue what the heck those meds were!!! Around question 50 I decided that I was going to take extra time and just kick butt...well as much as I could anyway. By question 70 I thought to myself that I was going to at least question 110 or 130. After I answered number 75 the thing had shut off...I was done. I walked out feeling like complete crap. I felt like I guessed of far too many questions. I had a total of 3 alternative format questions...all of them were "Select all that apply." I had no other type of alternative question, and the biggest bummer was that I had NO math questions.

To sum things all up last night at 2:30 am my license was posted on the CA BRN website!! I am so excited! The loss of my social life and all the missed social activies all paid off at that one moment!

I just took my NCLEX RN August 2 (thursday). It is sunday right now and the waiting isso unbearable. It's stressful waiting for my results, to even checking the California BRN for the last 2 days. I went up to 75 questions, and i'm ambivalent to being happy the test was 75 to hoping Ihadthe opportunity to answer a little bit more. I hope I did alrite and can say by this week I'm an RN. Wish me good luck, and hopefully I can repost that I'm a new grad ICU RN.

passed at 75, nclex easier than nursing school exams. I was scared that I failed just because I was thinking the whole time "OK where are the hard questions?" I knew if you got the easier ?'s right it would give you harder ?'s, I don't believe I ever received the "harder" ones.

Why, with the computerized testing, does the grading process take so much time (several days)? Is it not possible to print out a pass or fail form for the candidate as the exam is completed (pick up the form at the desk on the way out)? This would appear to be easier.

I know, a few days is less than (the old way) a few months, but instant on site scoring is available for EMT exams in many states..... why not for nurses and other professions?
