Do people really pass after 265 Questions-NCLEX

Ok. Now I'm really frustrated. I was sitting in that room for over 3 hours and watching the questions count all the way to 265. I was the last person to leave. I'm not feeling very confident. I know most of you said that it shut off after 75 questions or so, and you passed. I have only heard of a few people passing with 265 questions...anyone out there?

I studied and did lots of practice questions. The truth is, I don't test well - I usually "barely" pass everything related to these types of exams.

It will be a long weekend while awaiting the results. I already have a job lined up so I think I will be rather embarrassed if I have to tell them that I failed. Not only that, but I'm still burnt out with all of this studying stuff! Advice?

The last question does not necessarily determine the pass/fail result. Visit the NCLEX Discussion Forum, where we discuss this myth and others surrounding the NCLEX.
