:confused:wat score in nclex wud be a "pass" one? how many questions r dr in nclex?

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.

If the computer shuts off at 75 questions and 25 are the "don't count" questions...You would have to get 45 of those 75 correct. You would think...in order to pass.

Think about it. You get 75 question of which 25 don't count which brings it down to 50 therefore you need to get 25 right to pass. That is my understanding

only 15 of the 75 are those type sample questions. It seems that you would need to answer 30 higher level questions to pass.:twocents:

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

ahh..now i know. i reached til 265 & im really losing hope. i just took the nclex-RN 2 days ago, may 28, 2008. i still had 8 minutes left then. i thought the only thing that will be graded were the last 60 always, whether you reached the time limit or not. i hope you're certainly right. im really losing hope in here. the last few questions i had were simple ones..what i meant to say was multiple choice type mostly.

still hoping for the best.God bless us..

You are welcome, it can be frustrating but I do know what it feels like, took me until the third time before I passed. You will get there just may have a few hurdles to cross first

YOUR LAST 60 QUESTIONS HAVE TO STAY ABOVE THE PASSING STANDARD, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET ALL 60 RIGHT.:twocents:
