How many right out of 75?

Published

Okay, I understand that NCLEX uses adaptive testing and thus everyone is supposed to get 50% right. Those who are above a certain competency level pass and those who are under don't. The thing is you can theoretically be well above 50% by the minimum of 75 questions. Basically I am trying to see if anyone knows roughly how many of the first 75 questions someone would have to answer correctly to pass at 75. I know this will fluctuate slightly, but I'm curious. Right now I am getting between 50% and 75% correct on every Kaplan test. Assuming these question are similar to NCLEX questions I am wondering if my competency is enough to pass, or if I should delay taking my nclex until I can score much higher on my practice exams.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this.

I know how you are feeling Great Scott! I have been getting about the same percentages as you on the practice CD's. I am scheduled to take the NCLEX on the 19th of this month, like 10 days from now. A friend of mine studied the same

practice CDs and was also getting from 50-75%, and he passed. Hopefully we can too. I studied a lot and that's all we can do right? Well good luck to ya.

Wow,Great Scott you are scheduled for the 19th too? I knew I answered this post for a reason. RN Kitty you are on the 2Oth? Well, we will all definitely have to post to see how we all did. I'm trying to get in as much studying as I can the next week or so and then I 'll let up a little the 2 days before to ease my nerves a little. It's very important to go in there relaxed and confident so that our nerves don't get the best of us. Good luck!

I have wondered the same thing. I passed with 75 questions and am positive I got at least 10 wrong. I was scoring an average of about 75% on most quizzes and tests, had Kaplan, Saunders, Springhouse and something else. Good luck to all of you!
