If you run out of time on the nclex and still have questions left can you still pass?

If you run out of time your test will be graded on the last 60 test items. If they were mostly above passing, you pass. If they were below, you fail.

The Kaplan rep told us to budget our breaks and watch the clock. You really don't want to run out of time.

From the NCSBN Run-out-of-time (R.O.O.T.) Rule:

When you run out of time before reaching the maximum amount of items, the computer has not been able to decide whether you passed or failed with 95% certainty and has to use an alternate rule.

• If you have not answered the minimum amount of items, you fail.
  
• If you have at least answered the minimum amount of items, the computer reviews your last 60 ability estimates:
  
  • If your last 60 ability estimates were above the passing standard, you pass.
    
  • If your ability dropped below the passing standard, even once, during your last 60 items, you fail.
    

This does not mean you must answer the last 60 items correctly. Each ability estimate is based on all the previous items that you have answered.
