I took NCLEX and shut off at 75

Published

How many people fail on 75 questions? I am waiting my results and I feel that I failed terribly. My girlfriends who took test already got there results shutting off at 75 and they passed, but there test was so much harder than mine! I got the easiest questions in the world - I feel like the test was dummied up for me!!! I only had 3 satas - 5 meds - 2 infection control and the rest i swear was prioritizing. I am a wreck - I always heard shutting off at 75 was a good thing...but I feel as though I failed miserably because mine was so easy. Help me calm my nerves - feel like jumping off that bridge famous in California :(

I had only 75 questions and I cried for the two days that I had to wait to get my results b/c I was certain that I failed. I had two questions that were so easy that as soon as I submitted my answer I just wanted to kick myself! But guess what...I passed! So, try to relax - I bet you did just fine.

OMg I took the NCLEX on friday and the same thing happen to me.I thought theses questions are not getting harder, when it shut off I knew I failed I told the TA i'll see you in 45 days, I started rescheduling things i cried all the way home. I put 2 threads on allnurses 75 pass or fail. The waiting is murder but you know what I passed so i know that for someone to tell you not to worry it easier said than done but the likely hood of you passing with75 is really good STAY STRONG
