Can I pass with 85 Qs, but no med calcs?

hello folks,

took nclex today, had around 80-85 questions, but can't recall if i got my last question correct (as "someone" said that if you got your last question correct, you most likely passed.)

i did have 3-4 "check all that apply", but no med-math calculations.

is it still possible that i passed? i won't know for 2-3 days officially, but curious about folks experience with this.

thanks all!! :stone

Getting last question right doesn't mean you can pass, that is just a myth. You can pass with any number of questions and you do not need maths among your questions either

I got my last question wrong and still passed. There is just no way to know with this exam. Pray for the best!

:D Yes, you can pass without any med math. Whether you get the last question right or wrong has NO bearing on if you pass or fail. All that matters is how many you got right or wrong. Try to distract yourself with something to keep busy while you wait. ( I was more stressed waiting for the results than I was when I was studying for it :chuckle )

:hngon:HANG IN THERE and GOOD LUCK!

I didn't have any med calculation. I had 15 or so SATA and lots of pharmacology that I never heard before. I think I got the last 5 Qs wrong. I was 99% sure fail the test, but I still passed with 85 Qs.

We never know untill we get the result.

I just took the NCLEX 2 days ago and my computer stopped at 85 without giving me any calculations as well. I am so scared. I had a bunch of prioritizing and infection control. 3 pharm questions, 5 SATA, 3-5 maternity, and I dunno the rest. It's driving me insane and I won't be able to get the results for another month. :uhoh21: Good luck to you. Please update with your results.
