figuring out what 75 ?s mean

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Ok, I know this has been hashed and rehashed, but I am new to the site and I was wondering what relevance the number of questions you get on the NCLEX is to whether you passed or not. Some of my classmates seem to have ways of figuring out how well a person did by the number and types of questions that they got on the test. I took the NCLEX Monday morning at 8:00a.m. in Illinois. It's 2:08a.m. and I can not sleep. I can check my results using the "Quick Results" feature after 48 hours. I am down to 6 more hours. Anyone awake at this crazy time of the morning? I am sick with worry.

No relevance whatsoever, beyond the fact that a minimum of 75 questions must be answered.

My friend said that when you get a lot of SATA that you have answered at the higher end correctly since SATA's are the harder questions. Any truth to that?

Thanks for your reply.

The better you do, the harder the test gets. That's why I was shaking while taking my exam. I couldn't believe that I was actually getting these questions correct. It turned out that I did.

So I guess if the test questions are a breeze, you're probably doing horrible

It means that your either did really well and passed or failed big time. You wont know until you get the results.
