Did my mom fail the NCLEX! please help

[almostmadeit]

My mom is freakin out! She took the NCLEX this morning and she only did 199 questions but she ran out of time so the test stopped. Does this mean she automatically failed? She went to many NCLEX reviews and she said the NCLEX was nothing like the reviews she took ( KAPLAN and Pearson) She also studied Saunders book.

No, it doesn't mean she automatically failed.

go here and at the bottom, click #3 and watch that video https://www.ncsbn.org/1216.htm

below is what it reads on the NCLEX site about running out of time:[h=1]Run-out-of-time (R.O.O.T.) Rule[/h]When you run out of time before reaching the maximum amount of items, the computer has not been able to decide whether you passed or failed with 95% certainty and has to use an alternate rule.

• If you have not answered the minimum amount of items, you fail.
  
• If you have at least answered the minimum amount of items, the computer reviews your last 60 ability estimates:
  
  • If your last 60 ability estimates were above the passing standard, you pass.
    
  • If your ability dropped below the passing standard, even once, during your last 60 items, you fail.
    

This does not mean you must answer the last 60 items correctly. Each ability estimate is based on all the previous items that you have answered.
