How many questions determine whether or not you pass or fail NCLEX-PN?

I took my boards on Thursday Jan. 20th and I was so nervous. I know they told us the questions could range from 85 to 205 questions. I had to take the whole 205. Is this good or bad? I am so nervous. By me being in Alabama we do not have quick results so I am so scared. What does it mean by the number of questions that you have. Is it the more you have the more they want you to redeem your self or what? I have a friend that is a RN and she said the first time she failed it with 85 and when she took it again she passed with all 265 questions. How do you know? Just needed some input while I wait.

I took my NCLEX PN today too! Hard, hard, hard test. Drugs I NEVER heard of before. It shut off at like 75-85 questions? What do you think? I live in Alabama and cannot get quick results.
