How To Tell If I Failed NCLEX-RN 2015

[Missred9]

This is my 2nd time taking it. The first time I got all 265 and failed.

Ive heard the types of Q's you get can help you determine if you passed or not.

It it shut off at 215. I took it this morning.

The 1st time I used Kaplan and got all 265. 4 med math Q's, 2 exhibit, 2 graphic, 2 EKG, 5 drag and drop - the rest were: 20% management and delegation, 25% meds, 20% SATA, and 20% priority, 15% general.

This time I used Hurst. I studied about 2 months. My questions were COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!! 0 drag and drop, 0 EKG, 2 exhibit, 0 graphic, 2 med math. 20% SATA, only 10 management and delegation Q's, 30% priority, 30% meds, and 20% general.

i can't do PVT until tomorrow. The last question asked "which med order would I follow up with the physician?" And shut off.

By thw types I was given, does it sound like I failed? I can't imagine taking this test again. Can any of you estimate the types of Q's you got when you passed/failed?

(**these Q %'s are a rough estimate)

You can't tell whether you passed or failed by the types of questions. It's the content of the question that determines if it's high level or not. I know the 48 hour wait is excruciating, but getting the Quick Results will let you know definitively that you passed. Hang in there! Hope you get positive results this time around :)

I read your first two lines in this thread and then skipped over all the rest, as it doesn't matter.

What matters is whether you demonstrated to a 95% CI that you were competent to begin entry level practice as a nurse....or not.

You did this regardless of the format of the question, the "type" of question, etc. You can write down every "type" of question you had until the cows come home, and NONE of it matters. You can get tons of math or one question. TONS of cardiac rhythms...or NONE. One SATA...or a hundred.

None of it means a blessed thing.

The CONTENT of your question (and I do NOT mean 'math question' or 'med question'), and whether the difficulty was considered to be above or below the passing standard, is what mattered, and you cannot know that, so stop killing yourself microanalyzing the exam. Doesn't matter in the least. People expend a great deal of effort trying to figure out if this question or that one is a passing level question and the real answer is... you can't determine that yourself anyway. "Easy" to one person is "difficult" to another. One person believes a certain question must be below passing level because he knew the answer; another one believes the same question must be above passing level because it was so difficult. See the problem?

At any rate, skip the PVT entirely. If your State participates in Quick Results, pay the eight bucks for 100% accurate pass/fail results and be done with it.
