Got 265 questions NCLEX RN

Published

I just took my 2nd NCLeX rn yesterday 12/29/2014 and i got 265 questions. My first try shut off at 75 and fail. 😭😭😭 But yesterday i got 265 and still waiting for my result. I feel so nervous. And Im so upset coz i think i selected the wrong answer on my last question. I dont know if its true that if your answer on your last question is wrong you will FAIL and if your answers is correct you will PASS. im so worried. I dont want to celebrate my new years eve of full of loneliness. 😭😭😭😭.

Yeah I agree with JustBeachyNurse,LPN and also they look at the last 60 ?'s when you make it all the way.

Last 60 is ONLY if you run out if time without meeting the statistical CI for pass/fail

I'm in the same boat too. I got 265 questions in 5 hours and 45 mins. I tried to look up my name on Pennsylvania Licensure website. 24 hours and still nothing. I guess I truly failed.

I just did the PVT trick. Try googling empty visa gift cards to put in the cc form. It worked just fine. I got the bad popup.

Your name not being on the BON's website within 24 hours doesn't mean you failed.

Hi everyone,

I wrote my NCLEX on June 23, 2015 (in Canada). After spending a very nerve-wracking 4.5 hours, where I answered ALL 265 questions, I left the examination room with a heavy heart. I knew I failed. The first thing I did after getting into the elevator was Google "pass rate for 265 questions on the NCLEX". I was directed to this website where I read a countless number of posts from fellow nurses-to-be like to me. Some good stuff and some bad stuff. The first post I read was by an individual who wrote the same number of questions as me and described the exact same way I felt. After reading that post 5 times, I calmed down a bit. But by the time I got into my car, I was a nervous wreck again. I listened to sad, depressing songs all the way home. I then decided to do the trick and it gave me the good pop-up. I tried every single day after that, up until the forth business day. I always got the good pop-up but I knew that didn't mean anything as there had been some people who got the good pop-up but didn't pass. Regardless, it gave me a glimmer of hope. Since I wrote my exam on a Thursday, I didn't receive my results until the following Wednesday (4 business days, but 6 agonizing days of waiting because of the weekend that fell in between). Finally, I received my results and I had passed!

I normally never post anything but I'm writing this post in hopes of at least giving one future nurse a chance to calm down and offer them the possibility that there is hope even after writing 265 questions. As a tip, my biggest mistake was keeping both the timer and the number of questions in view (top right hand corner) when writing the exam. Every few seconds, I would nervously glance at the corner and my heart would race a little more at the prospect of having to do more questions. By the 220th question, I knew there was no way that I wouldn't finish until the 265th question. So I took my time, hid the clock and answered every question to the best of my ability. Who knows...had I done that from the start, perhaps I wouldn't have been sitting there doing every single question. It doesn't matter now because in the end I passed.
