Took my NCLEX for second time and got 265 questions

I took it also on Saturday and ended with 265. However mine has been saying "hold" since last night. I had a classmate in my class pass with 265. When you get to 265 there is still a chance is what I keep being told. So don't give up and PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!

Oh and if you got the good pop up. You probably passed!! The good pop up

Always works

What does the good pop up say?

"Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another exam cannot be registered at this time..." or something like that. You should get this message at the top AFTER you hit "Submit Order" which is after you've inputted all the cc (preferably prepaid with less than $200) info.

Good job. Four of my friends from school recently took the exam, they all got 265, and they all passed. From what I understand, if your last question was above the line, and you got it correct, you pass. But, about 85% of things post on this website in reference to NCLEX,are rumors and not facts. It will always put a smile on my face when I hear a good posting about somebody passing NCLEX. I take mine for the third time in Florida, three weeks from now. Again, good job. Adam

Always amazes me when people post rumors, when the info is right there on the ncsbn website. The website even tells you what is on the test!

You are right about the last question. For the record here are the 3 ways to pass NCLEX:

75-264 questions:

When the computer is 95% confident you are clearly above or below the passing standard it shuts off.

Pass/fail when at 265 questions:

If the final ability is above passing: pass

If the final ability is below passing: fail

Run out of time:

Answered less than 75 questions: fail

75-264 questions: it looks at the last 60 ability estimates. If they were all above the pass line, you pass. If even 1 was below the pass line, you fail.

Ability does not equal question, per se.

CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats! :)
