I took my boards on June 24th and got my results yesterday and luckily I passed. My friend just took her boards on July 10th, and the computer shut off after the 76th question. This is really weighing heavily on my friend and I wondered if anyone had any positive feedback or personal stories that I could tell her about something similar happening to them. I have already tried telling her that the amt. of questions does not matter, but it didn't seem to help. I was hoping if I told her that this had happened to others and that they passed she may cheer up. Anything would be helpful.

I can't help but wonder as I read one of the previous posts about the one person out of 35 who didn't pass in the class- what exactly is the determining factor for that one person (or 2 or 3, as the case may be) to not pass. I'm not trying to ask an unanswerable question or anything, but I have noticed that at my school over the last ten years they have had a really high success rate, yet usually one or two people don't pass. Is it nerves? Test anxiety? Just curious as to what your thoughts are on this.

In reading the BB, it seems that everyone who's NCLEX finished after 75 questions passed. My question is: Is there anyone out there who failed after a 75 question test? I wonder what the ratio is?

My husband took his NCLEX in June and passed. He had 75 questions and the computer shut off. You probably did fine! Donna ;}

Donna...where did yours shut off?? I feel like the only one out here that didn't shut off at 75...this can't be good. The more I think about it, the more questions that I am sure I bombed! Please calm my nerves and tell me there are more than a few out there that didn't shut off @ 75 and still pass...Donna

My friend found out that she didn't pass. When talking about how she studied, she mentioned that she concentrated on A&P and diagnosis. Although she took a nclex review course, she didn't take time to answer a lot of questions out of study guides. Don't know if this had something to do with it or not - I studied the exact opposite way. I concentrated on answering questions and looking up answers I didn't know and hardly looked at A&P and diagnosis. I haven't received the results from my NCLEX yet, so I don't know if my method of study was successful or not. wink.gif

I also shut down at 75 and passed, but I know a lot of people who have taken all kinds of odd numbers. I do know one person who had to take the maximum number of questions and still passed. It's sort of a craps shoot. Try not to stress (ha!), what's done is done. Remember, pass rates in general are on your side.

Hi. My test didn't shut off @ 75 it shut off @ 118 questions. And I have had several people that graduated with me in May that had numbers from 75 all the way to 265. I freaked out when mine cut off @ 118 and started to panic. I did pass however! I hope everything goes well for you! I am sure you will be just fine. I hope this helps. I know how you feel. My husband took his NCLEX the day before me and his cut off @ 75 and you can imagine how I felt when mine kept going to 118! I knew for sure I had bombed out. But I did pass and I got my results over the internet before I got them in the mail. Post back and let me know how you do!!! Donna ;}

I just took the exam on July 11. This waiting time bites. I had 75 questions. I know that means I either passed or completely bombed it.Is there anyway I can find out the results so I don't have to be tortured for the next week. I took the test in Mississippi. I picked the wrong week to stop snifing glue smile.gif

i took the nclex on july 1. i found out that i passed with 75 questions on july 11. i felt pretty good about it when i left the testing center, but i didn't want to be too optimistic either. my graduating class has not done so good on the nclex this year as a whole. our school has always had one of the best pass rates in our state. but this year we have had 6 people fail so far, and i believe 13 have passed. that is the worst failure rate our school has ever had. usually 1 person if any fail. so we don't know why that has happened. who knows? but the board of nursing is coming to investigate so i hear. there was one person in my class who failed with 75 questions. which i hear is very unusual to fail with that many. also the other 5 who failed, did so with 265 questions, and i believe one of them had like 226 questions. all the ones who passed had 75, 82, 86, 120 questions. i wish you the best of luck for boards and in your career.

I took my nclex on 7/6 and found out I passed on 7/14. I had more than 75 but less than 200, I was sure I failed but I guess it was test anxiety! Good luck everyone!
