I took my exam this am and I also had 75 questions...I did feel confident but after reading all these posts I am not so sure. I wish you luck!Shannon~
You have reason to be confident. Historically, around 85% of US-educated first-timers pass the NCLEX. The point we're making on this thread is that the pass/fail result cannot be divined from the number of questions.
Congratulations- for you & anyone else who's test shut off at 75 questions, you may be in interested in answering the survey I saw which is being conducted on this website. Its tabulating percent who passed or failed at 75. If so, its at this thread in the NCLEX forum:

Kathy,
Keep in mind that both passers and failers tend to only get around 50% correct. That's why we always advise students never to go back and look up answers in their textbooks. You can miss a LOT of questions and it doesn't mean that you failed.
I'm glad you made it. Congratulations.
