I just got home from taking the nclex. I don't know what to think. I get in there and start taking the test, I get up to 75 and it goes to 76 and I think, OH CRAP, but I keep on going. It gets to 100, then 150, so then I think, ok, I drew the short straw and I have to take all of the questions, so I settle in to do that. Then it STOPS at 220 I think! I figure I must have done so awful that they won't even let me finish all the questions!
The next 48 hours are going to be just awful.

I know how you feel, but the number of exam questions does not determine a pass or fail. One can pass with 265, 255, 100, 75, etc.

:crying2:I just took my NCLEC-RN. I have a hole in the pit of my stomach. I felt I knew nothing all that studying with Kaplan went down the drain. I can't eat, I'm so sick with fear. I truly believe I failed it. My friends are telling me everyone feels this way and I know this. But I had no clue. Once it didn't stop at 75 I felt dred come over me. I hit 200 and wanted it to continue but it stopped I guess It realized that know matter how many questions It gave me I still didn't no anything. What a waste of brain power lol:banghead:

Actually a very good friend of mine took her test on Monday and had 220 questions. On Tuesday she found out that she passed. Good luck to you, it doesn't matter how many questions you get, as long as you pass!!!

Good luck. Number of questions doesn't matter
I know I keep telling myself the amount of questions have no baring but for the life of me, I feel that the computer knew I couldn't answer the questions correctly and just said forget it, no matter what answering 65 more questions wont matter for her. I just didn't feel I knew anything after doing well on Kaplan......Oh well, I'll just keep praying til Saturday.
Thanks for all the positive words

Number of questions that one receives has no bearing on determining results, nor getting the last question right or wrong.
Best of luck to all of you that are waiting for results. Please be aware that there is no way to second guess what the results are going to be.
