If getting the last question you have before it shuts off wrong meant that you failed, then I would't be sitting here with my LPN license in my hands :)

I know 100% that i got the last question wrong. I happen to remember it and it was an odd and obscure one. I looked it up and I didn't pick the correct answer.

Don't forget everyone taking the NCLEX-PN no matter how many questions they get have 25 questions that are "test" questions NCLEX is trying out. Getting those 25 right or wrong doesn't factor in to your pass/fail level. I know the NCLEX-RN has a certain amount of questions (15? not exactly sure, I don't have my NCLEX booklet handy) that are the same for them.

It very well could be that the last question you get is one of those test questions so you can't gauge that you failed because you got the last one wrong or that you passed because you got it correct.

Getting the last wuestion wrong means nothing. It's based on the percentage you get correct throughout the test. Don't worry, stay positive!!!:nuke:

Take your time and read the questions and know what the question is asking before you answer....don't read into it. You'll do great!!

Actually the results are based on the level that you get the correct ones answered at, all get 50% correct and 50% incorrect.

Where the majority of your correct answers are at is essentially how it is determined if you pass or do not pass. Percentages do not change.
