How many questions did you stop at and did you pass?? I am so freakn nervous!! I took my test yesterday and went all the way to 205 questions!! So many med and 'choose all that apply' questions, I was so lost. SO now its the waiting game...once again, this is my 2nd time testing which makes things even more nerve wrecking!!

Is it true you should worry if you had the same type of questions over and over...does that mean I was gettin them wrong??

I had 85 questions and passed. My sister had 205 and passed. I kept getting the same types of questions over and over. I had a lot of pharm and "check all that apply". I also had a lot on heart disease. Hang in there :)

I took the NCLEX PN yesterday, and I got the whole 205 questions. I felt like I didn't know anything. All my math was pediatric math, which I hate, and I had tons of pharm. I honestly feel like I guessed on every question!! I'm driving myself crazy checking the site every few minutes!! Pray for me please...I need it! :)

I'm praying for you. I took mine this morning. It shut off between 87-90 questions. Like you, I felt like I was guessing. I only know of one that I did get right. It seems like I had alot of pharm, math, and quite a few of the "select all that apply". I don't think the number of questions really determine pass or fail. I know of a few students I attended school with that got all 205 questions and passed, they were certain they failed. Both said they had no idea what the questions were asking. Good luck, I will be praying for you! I keep check our site in my state also. I said they are going to ban my ip address for continuously going onto their site. I know it is too soon to be posted, but I just can not help it. LOL.

lol thats what I was saying too...I seriously check it like every 5 minutes! Thanks for the encouragement! Its good to know of other people who passed with 205. I'm sure you passed, and I'll keep praying for both of us!! I swear the wait is the WORST part of the whole thing. I think its about time to crack open a bottle of wine and relax!!! :)

Good idea. I suggested they hand out injections of ativan before and after the exam. LOL. I prefer to be put into a medically induced coma and wake me up when the results are in. LOL. This is just an overwhelming experience. I've read others' experiences, and here I am going through the same emotions.

You guys also have to remember that 20 of those questions are just throw in questions for future exams. I had 3 med calculations, 20 drug questions of which I have never heard of, and the rest was just the A,B,C's and med surg. I believe the drug questions were my throw in's. My school had a high pass rate and I was well prepared. I also purchased the Lippincott LPN N-CLEX review which was very difficult. The first 10 pages about the test questions helped tremendously!! My school's tests were in N-Clex form, so I was pretty used to the question form. I passed with 85 questions. It doesn't matter, my friend had the full test and passed. You never can tell. Hang in there!!!

I took my boards on Thursday Jan. 20th and I was so nervous. I know they told us the questions could range from 85 to 205 questions. I had to take the whole 205. Is this good or bad? I am so nervous. By me being in Alabama we do not have quick results so I am so scared. What does it mean by the number of questions that you have. Is it the more you have the more they want you to redeem your self or what? I have a friend that is a RN and she said the first time she failed it with 85 and when she took it again she passed with all 265 questions. How do you know? Just needed some input while I wait.

Shunda ?
