Do most people that shut off at 75 pass or fail?!?

Hi! I took my NCLEX today and I am completely freaking out. My computer shut off at 75 and I wanted to cry. I was between 2 for so many.

Do you know many people that had it shut off at 75 and failed? I know they say you can pass or fail at 75 but what is everyone's own experience?

We did take the HESI test towards the end of my last semester and according to that, I had a 99% chance of passing. That isn't bringing me alot of comfort right now though!!

I studied my butt off, did well in school-- I have to hope that was enough, right? The next 24-48 hours is going to be rough! I have heard that the OBN gets your license number up pretty fast if you pass, though.

Thanks for listening to me vent!

I believe that there was a poll done here somewhere here at allnurses.com. When I checked it last (which was a few days ago), of the people receiving a total of 75 questions on the NCLEX, 41 passed and 3 failed. That number may have changed, but it shows that most people do pass with 75.

Keep in mind also that some 87% of test takers pass the NCLEX on the first try, if I'm not mistaken.

Hope you get the good news soon. :)

OK are we the same people. Just took my NCLEX today and shut off at 75. I totally freaked, called one of my instructors and several of my friends right after.

Penny- I feel your pain! I did the exact same thing. Everyone else seems to think its a good thing (they have not had to take the NCLEX yet or aren't in the field and have no clue) but I'm telling you that it felt terrible when it shut off! I appreciate everyone's faith in me but I still feel sick to my stomach and imagine that I will until the results are in. I'm hearing that the OBN has had results up (not the ones you pay for from Pearson) within 24 hours but I took my test this afternoon so I'm thinking that it won't be up till Thursday. I'm hoping for tomorrow though. Let's hope for a passing grade for both of us!! My fingers and toes are crossed! Let me know!

After an absolutely agonizing 25 hours and obsessively checking the OBN website more times than I should admit to, I PASSED!! I had to check re-enter my name 3 times before I finally believed it! Wow. I was really sweating it and was sure that I had failed but I feel great now!!

So glad its over and that I never have to go through that ever again!

I would take this poll with a grain of salt. As most know, polling used for statistics is very innaccurate. Furthermore, more people who passed with 75 are gonna post then those that flunked at 75.
