The computer doesn't stop early if you fail. For the PN exam, the minimum number of questions is 85. For the RN exam, the minimum number is 75. Probably what happened is in their anxiety they couldn't recall the exact number of questions.

Which board of nursing has that on their website? A passing or failing score cannot be determined without the minimum number of questions, therefore the computer will not shut off before 75 questions for the NCLEX-RN examination or before 85 questions for the NCLEX-PN examination. Every state in the United States agrees to this administration of the examinations and to the same passing standards. According to the Detailed Test Plan for the National Council Licensure Examination for Licensed Practical/vocational Nurses, "The NCLEX-PN examination is a variable-length computerized adaptive test that can be anywhere from 85 to 205 items long." "Once the minimum number of items has been taken, testing stops when the candidate's ability is determined to be either above or below the passing stndard with 95% certainty."
