im just curious

huh????

Would also help if you didn't post in text,We have many foreign trained nurses with English not as their first language and it is good practice for them to read and understand things, good practice for writing documentation as only hospital acepted abreviations can be used and also not everyone understands text.

The NCLEX will automatically shut off when you've answered enough questions correctly (or incorrectly). You may pass at 75 questions or 435, it depends.

I thought the min. was 75 and max was 265?

There are 75 min. questions and a maximum of 265. You have 6 hours to test with 2 mandatory breaks. At our Hurst Review they told us that if you take all 6 hours and run out of time, they only grade the last 60 questions. If you finish before 6 hours then you are graded based upon more right than wrong answers overall. The test booklet for NCLEX states that the computer will shut off when a decision has been made within 95% accuracy. Then it is graded by a person. That is why the "unofficial" grades are posted. Your State will receive your official grade as will you in the mail. Hope this helps. If you need more answers visit: www.ncsbn.org and follow instructions for NCLEX candidates. Also www.pearsonvue.com is also helpful.

Good Luck, I take boards on the 12th of June...:typing

Sorry, It might be, I honestly don't remember!

Yeah...that's okay. I just read it in the manual, so I thought I'd help out.

So how many do you have to get right if it shuts down at 75 questions and you pass? Does that mean you got them all right?

You have to get 50/50 and there is a certain amount which are test questions and no one knows what they are and at the top of my head can't remember how many exactly are test

60 of the first 75 are real test question. 15 sample or potential test questions, I think

This is my understanding is that if you get 50% correctly at a certain level ( you can never tell which questions are these) then you pass if you get 50% right or wrong at lower level then you fail . The way they grade it is more confusing. Just focus on getting your questions right rather than worrying about what level a question, it will just increase your anxiety.
