I answered 265 questions on the NCLEX in 5 hours. What are the chances of me passing? And how long did it take for you to receive your results through email?

When your ability is very close to the passing standard, the computer continues to give you items until the maximum number of items is reached. At this point, the computer disregards the 95% confidence rule and decides whether you pass or fail by your final ability estimate.
  • If your final ability estimate is above the passing standard, you pass.
  • If your final ability is at or below the passing standard, you fail.

I have friends that got the whole test and passed. Back when I took the boards (9 years ago). I found out that I passed by looking up the state license website. It showed me my license a day sooner then the test. Good luck!!! Fingers crossed !! [emoji4][emoji120]

Hi, hydrochloro, they said if you were given the 265 questions it means you are close in passing the exam. my first attempt, i had 265 questions and i failed. i have one category nearly passing grade. I didn't give up and just took the test again recently, and I had the 265 questions again!! luckily I passed this time. don't lose hope and always pray

OP, if you had a chance to read several threads of students about NCLEX at this site, some students passed at 75, some failed at 75. Some passed at 265, some failed at 265. So you're chance maybe 50/50. Our state don't give result through email, I learned I passed through Quick Results after 48 hours. I saw my name as an RN in our state license website 5 days after I took the board exam.
