Anyone ever fail with 85 questions?

I just took the NCLEX-PN and answered the minimum of 85 questions. I walked out feeling like I didn't know anything. I won't find out until Monday morning. I don't know anyone who failed with 85 questions. Does anyone know anyone who failed with the minimum?

The number of questions that you get means absolutely nothing. :wink2:

I took yesterday and also answered 85 questions. I am hoping that by some stroke of fate the results will be available before Monday. I felt like I knew NOTHING as I was testing. Sop far, 3 people in my class have answered 85, and all 3 passed.

I took it today and it stopped on 85 also. I am in the same boat as you. But I won't get my results until Wednesday because it takes 2 business day (that sucks!)

Yes people fail with 85 questions. People pass with 85 questions. The number of questions is only the number of questions.

Good luck!

I'm sure I would feel strange if I only received 85 questions too, but then again, as far as I can tell everyone has the same feeling with 75, 85, 130, 230, or 265. Most people, from what I have read, do not think they passed, with any number.

Try to relax and keep yourself busy! :)

I hope that you do pass, and congrats on making it this far. :)

Your question is one of never ending :)

The answer is always the one that Suzanne has given you.

Most ppl write the same concern here and usually come back with great news. Best of luck to you. :p
