Can you pass with 132 questions? Yes. You can also pass with 124, 211, 86, and 204. Irrelevant. There's nothing "odd" about the number it stopped on: the test stopped at the point where it could determine to a reasonable certainty the level of your competency.
The number it settled on has zero to do with your expectations for passing. The exception being 75 questions: if your test stopped there, you either did so well as to prove competency in the fewest number of questions possible, or prove incompetency in the fewest questions possible. I find people pretty much know when they leave the test after 75 questions which side they fall on.
As for any number in between 75 and 265....it's a crapshoot of guessing games. Wait for the results!

Hello guyz, just wondering if anyone passed at 132, it's an unusual number for me, since i've read people saying they passed at 75, 85, but not mostly on 132 or in the middle. I just took my first nclex exam last week and it's 5 days already waiting for the result. What i'm thinking is, it's a good thing coz i already reached 75 and it didn't stop meaning i'm fighting or getting at least the answers right or maybe wrong?, i'm worried i think i failed!
