Is a teaching question a passing question on the NCLEX?

I took man NCLEX yesterday and had 77 questions. The last question was a teaching question. I'm hoping that's an analysis level question. And hoping I passed my NCLEX...

All questions fall into the 'above passing' or 'below passing' zone. Can't really say what your question was REALLY asking you, so can't know this.

But one thing you DO know is you got just two questions more than the minimum, indicating you were either able to demonstrate competency quickly, or incompetency just as quickly. Given your grades in school, your study habits, and your preparation for this exam, which scenario is more likely? Add to that the statistic of approximately 90% of all first-time test-takers passing, and it's likely you did pass :)

Hang in there!
