everyone I know that scored 85 passed the NCLEX. everyone that went to 205 failed. You can pass at 205, but remember tis means that after 200 questions you still haven't met the minimum competency. If you notice on this board the people finishing with 85 pass, while most that go to 205 fail. The numbers do matter in tems of percentage of passing /failing. I say the sooner the computer shuts off the better.

I don't totally agree with that b/c in the past 6 months I have seen people who computer shut off at 205 and they passed..and just today my friend who took it on last tuesday cut off at 85 and she failed!! So I think ya just never know??

85 can mean you did really bad or really good ! the # of questions does not matter.

Mine shut off yesterday @ 85 questions, too...I'm going to take the test one more time and if I fail it again, I am choosing a different career path.

you havent gotten your results yet- so dont get to down on yourself just yet! Wait and get your results before you decide what your going to do with the REST OF YOUR LIFE! I wish you the best of luck! And just have faith that you did the best you could do and hopefully it was good enough!

well, I took the test and it was alot of priority and meds I have never heard of, then on top of that it stop at 85...I stopped and top a breath, along with a pray...then I raised my hand to let the lady in charge escort me out the room...man that was a long ride home, going over the questions in my head saying I answered them correctly or not...But I had to wait 24hrs to pay for the early results, I covered my eyes when I click the results button and Dam, I PASSED, my heart was like jumpin out of my chest and I screamed, for stress relief. So all I can say is study the question format and relax, I took it the first time I had 196 so I was really worried because my career was on hold til I passed the test. SO I PASSED I still cant believe it, but I took my time, breathed and studied 2 hours a day at the library.

Apparently, I passed...according to my friend, who looked at the MN Board of Nursing website...I still haven't had the guts to look yet. *L*

i was the same way until my director pushed me and told me i passed so i checked and I PASSED, so keep the faith, u passed

now it only took me an hr to complete 85 questions and i got a ton or nutrition and select all that apply and the dreaded pharmacology, had one calu. i sat there and felt that i didnt know anything..... i clicked along read my positive thinking statements that i wrote on my eraseable board and bam it cut off at 85 questions...could i be just that dumb........pray for me and prayfully i will have some good news in two days. hope you do good too

took my test today(03/10/2010) pray that I pass please ,I'm praying:crying2:

I just took my nclex pn this past Thursday. i read on the net that if the pearson site allows u to re register for the nclex, u didnt pass. this really did nothing for my sanity lol. Today with quick results i found out i passed at 85 questions:D
