Hi everyone,
I took the NCLEX-RN today here in San Deigo.I am so relieved to have the experience behind me and now must play the anxious waiting game.Like Motorcycle Mama I am in the same boat.I too shut off at 75 and did guess on several-they are so tricky and on some the answer seems impossible to choose from.I did the Saunders program and NCBSN 3 week program as well.I read the entire 3 rd edition along with the 100 questions each night-thanks Susan! with the CD ROM.I am amazed that in this modern age we are stuck waiting like we are with no choice in the matter-so much for spending our 200 dollars huh!I am praying for success and for the success of all of you.I did get alot of priority questions and many check all that apply!I hope to hear from others and again ask that dreaded question-is 75 a good sign????I wonder how many correct answers one must do to pass out of the 75.Since 15 are experimental and 60
were answered I wonder how many one would have to get right to pass-realizing of course an equal balance of easy and difficult questions.Any and all feedback would be appreciated and private email is always great.Bye.

Good luck. I am waiting all so. mine all so stopped at 75 but this was my second time.

The NCSBN says that both passers and failers will get around 50% right on the NCLEX. The determining factor is how easy or hard they have to make the questions to keep you at 50%. If you're getting 50% of the harder ones, you'll be fine. More info is at www.ncsbn.org in the 2006 Candidate Bulletin.

Good luck!

I recently took my Nclex-RN exam back on july 12th and finished with 75 questions, I had lots of priority questions, and many many check all that apply. My questions were on things like Parkinson's ,Cushings, BPH, DI, and gallbladder disease with one math. I passed, however i was very very nervous because i ended at 75 questions and was soooooo sure i failed. Another person and I left out at the same time and she told me that if you get lots of check all that apply, you're doing good. Not sure how much of the truth that is, but it did ease my mind a bit. Anyways......Good Luck to you.

Good Luck!... I bet you passed. I got 75 questions too and passed, with lots of priority and med questions. So I think you did fine.

Has no bearing on it at all. Some get no questions on diet. Would not focus on specific questions.

The number of questions has no bearing on the outcome. Even getting the last question correct or not correct.

What does matter is the level of the questions that you were getting correct. This is how they determine if you pass or did not pass. Not just the number of questions. Each question is assigned a certain level. You have to be answering the higher level questions to get approval on the exam.
