How many right out of 75?

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.

I also have been scoring about the same. 50-70 %. I am scheduled to take NCLEX on the 20th. Good luck to all of us.

Also taking my test on the 19th. Let's all post in this same thread if we passed or not. Good luck to the two of you!

I was scoring in the 70's on practice CD's and passed at 75 questions.

Very good news CRNA ,Thanks for the encouragement. I will post as soon as my results become available, I was told 2 days, so hopefully on Friday the 22 I will be one happy girl!! I also start a brand new job tomorrow so LOTS of stress this next two weeks. :uhoh3:

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!

Looking forward to receiving good news ... Good Luck to everyone preparing for NCLEX!

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!

Okay, so how was it AmyNurse03? Mine was interesting. I don't even want to make a guess as to whether I passed or not. Some things I knew, others I did not. I had lots of priority questions, lots of calculations, some new format questions. I worry a bit because the calculations were extremely easy (although they were all new format). It took 78 questions, I was in and out of there before I knew what hit me. Still, I have a feeling I may have gotten the last 3 questions right. I figure if I was borderline so it kept going after 75, then it can only be a good sign. I'll know for sure on Thursday. I have my fingers crossed for myself and for you.
