I completed 85 questions in NCLEX-RN I just completed. What are the chances of passing? Is such a small number mean I probably failed? This is the third time I've written NCLEX-RN.

If and when I fail, how can I get the Candidate Performance Report from Pearson or NCSBN that shows me how I did? I haven't received it the last two times I've failed. I emailed both Pearson and NCSBN but they did anything about it.

I think my basic problem with studying for NCLEX-RN is remembering the info. Each question requires so much info to be remembered. Can you help me with a better studying method? What are the methods out there? Can changing my studying methods really affect my ability to remember the info?

Re: I got 85 questions

Can't really tell much as far as pass/fail for you individually, except to say that the odds are definitely on your side. Let us know how it turns out!

My friend got 85 and passed...Good luck to you!!

Re: I got 85 questions

I failed the NCLEX-RN -- for the third time! Maybe I wasn't meant to work in the US!?! I'm Korean and am studying for the test using the Korean language, from this website www.kdnclex.com but I don't know if this is the best way. I tried NCSBN's online course and found it not helpful.

Are there any other folks out there whose first language is not English and is studying for NCLEX-RN? What did you do?

Re: I got 85 questions

1. Only the state that you applied for licensure to can release the information about the exam to you. It is the only place that it is available for you.

2. I work with foreign students from all over the world, and some that I even needed to teach English to first, and they each passed NCLEX the first time.

3. Biggest mistake that I can see is that you must study and prepare for the exam in English, to do it in another language is setting you up for disaster. If you do not feel comfortable enough with the English language, then focus on that first, but do not prepare for NCLEX using another language. It just is not going to work.

Re: I got 85 questions

Snoopy, I met someone someone from Korea who passed NCLEX with 75 questions. She told me she studied 8-10 hours a day for weeks because of the language barrier. I agree with Suzanne4..just try to get more comfortable with the English language! Good luck!!
