My best friend took NCLEX for the first time on May 15th, received 265 questions, and failed.

She retook NCLEX on July 13th, received 105 questions, and passed.

The # of questions do NOT matter as you can pass or fail at any of them! But if you failed at 75, you were not close at passing. If you failed at 265 you were close to passing!!

The test is an adapative test. There are knowledge, comprehension, analytic, and application questions. When you're taking the test it goes up and down a scale. You have to stay above the designated midpoint (mininum score) for the majority. Knowledge and Comprehension questions are below that line, with analytic questions and application questions being above the line. So if you answer an easy question correctly, they're going to give you a harder question. You can get 75 questions and pass, because you stayed above the line for the majority of the test, and the test shuts off at the minimum because it feels as if you are comptent enough to pass. However, if you stay below the line the majority of the test it can cut off at 75 questions as well because the test feels as if you just don't know the information, so there is no point for any more questions. This is what they told us at the Kaplan review. Also, if you keep getting the analytic and application questions right, then some wrong, and going back to the knowledge and comprehension questions, then getting them right, then returning to the analytic and application questions (going up and down the scale), that's when the test will continue to ask more questions until, that is why you can get a range of questions from 75 to 265. When you get 265 questions it's because you kept going up and down the scale.

I took NCLEX on June 24th. I had all 265 questions. But I am so happy to say I passed. I was the last one out of the testing center and I was a basket case! It can be done! :)
