i have been reading alot of the last question threads and i know people are saying that it does not matter but wouldnt it make sense if after the minimum number of questions answered you are on a 50/50 chance and they will determine if you pass or fail by every question answered. why would it cut off after answering a wrong question and you pass that just dont make sense to me. :uhoh3:

I passed and got the last question wrong. NCLEX is hard to predict. Best not to start overthinking.:clown:

Yes, mine cut off at the minimum. But it is just a number. You can pass/fail regardless of the number of questions you get. You can pass/fail if you get the last one right or wrong. Perhaps ( in what you are describing ) the last question was a " test " question or a sample question that does not count towards whether you pass or fail? I think they throw in a few of the " test " items in everyones exam but I am not sure how many. ( just my theory )

I just wrote the NLCEX RN today and the exam stopped at 75 questions! I felt terrible last night, like I knew nothing at all -really nervous before the exam. Today, I took a tylenol before I entered the exam center. I just did the exam really carefully not to misunderstand the questions; I found, may be 2 or 3 drugs that I've never heard of before. I started to count down the no. of questions: 30, 50, 60,...and by the time when I reached to question 70, I really focused myself for I know for sure that I don't want to write it again!!!

I'm a Canadian RN and I used the Saunder's 4th ed. I highly recommend it.

Well, I still have to wait for the result -that should be available tomorrow!! Good luck everyone sitting for the exam!!!
