Hi, there. Your post has been moved to the NCLEX Discussion forum so it will be visible to other NCLEX takers. Good luck to you, and we hope you come back with news that you passed!

Hello Everyone!!
Yesterday I took my Nclex PN and the computer cut me off on question 197 or 198, I cant recall! but I remember that I had like 15 select all the apply, 5 picture questions, one EKG strip, 6 scenarios, a lot of prioritizing, delegating, one math question, a lot of pharm, put in order, one cultural, few diets, and had 3 questions that asked about signs and symptoms.
Has anyone had ther computer shut off on the 190's questions ???? I really want to know if I passed or failed.. I just cant stop thinking about it. 4- 6 weeks seems like a long time to know... The questions were tricky and confusing..! I gave all my best!! :/

Well, unfortunately nothing in what you posted really gives an idea as to whether you passed or failed. People pass or fail at every single number between the minimum and maximum; the number itself....like yours.....really doesn't mean anything. Other than, of course, that's the point at which the computer either deemed you as competent (to a 95% certainty) or incompetent (the same way).

If this is your first time taking the exam, the odds are greatly in your favor, so take heart :) Somewhere around 90% of first-time testers DO pass, so.....take a deep breath, take a walk, clean out your kitchen cupboards to make use of pent-up anxiety energy, and it'll be over soon!

THank you so much!!!!

Your words really helped me a lot ! Yes, it is my first time taking the NCLEX PN and everyone who were in my class has passed with only 85 questions... and others with less than the 150's questions.

I think I am the only one from them who stopped at 198 questions, the computer didn't let me finish to 205... the last question I remember was about prioritizing! I hope I passed.

Thank you again! I'll get my letter like in 3-4 weeks
