I think this was a thread before but I cannot find it! I keep finding questions I missed

I did the same thing.........don't do it, put the books away and go have fun! I just found out today I passed with 75 questions. What type of questions did you have, I have heard priority and delegation are higher level questions.........Best of luck to you!

I had priority (who needs help first), lots of infection control, meds, five select all that apply, no math. I thought it was hard! Yikes. I hate waiting! :idea:

I don't personally know anyone who failed with 75 qyestions.

There are a fair amount that failed with 75.

The number of questions means absolutely nothing in determining if you passed or did not pass.

The average number of nurses that pass the first time is about 85%, and they do so with every number of quesitons. Your odds of passing are in your favor.

Remember that....................

THANKS FOR THAT! I guess I am worried because most of my questions seemed hard to me, there were very few that jumped out at me and I felt like often, I could narrow it down to two but from there, it is picking the right one! Waiting is awful is all I have to say!

Avery! I just finished with 75 and had all those same questions - LOTS of infection control, like 6 all that apply, no math and tons (maybe 8 or so?) med questions - just straight up questions about meds with no diagnosis! Are those low level questions?? I feel like I did horrible, but can't accurately gauge. I'm not sure if I got high level or low level questions!

I took the Nclex in March and failed with 75 questions. I had a lot of med/surg and hardly any priority questions and no calc. To me it seemed kind of easy. I once again took it yesterday and had 75 questions, this time there were mostly priority, infection control, meds, and some med/surg, no calc. I hope I passed this time because I don't know what else to do at this point. I get 70-80% on my quizzes and have multiple materials to get them from and it's like when I sit at the booth to take the real test I completely lose my mind and feel stupid. I will let you know as soon as I know what happened with this one!!

Sounds like we had the same test! From what I have read those are all good things to have. Are you in a quick results state? I will be praying for you, I should know Sat!

Hi Ladybug! I am hoping this is a good sign for you that you had what seems to be higher level questions! Your practice scores are good, sounds like you were prepared! I am pulling for you! When will you know for sure?

We can call the BON tomorrow (Friday) and find out our results. Our online results won't be posted until 2 business days after the test. I'm going to call tomorrow on my lunch hour to find out. I'll post tomorrow night the news! I'm sending you good vibes and can't wait to hear how you did on Saturday!

I managed to fail at 80 questions. I went in with a 97% chance or passing before I studied. I don't know what to to. The test seemed easy, but not at all familiar.
