Just took my Nclex...

[dinan028]

Whew! That thing was a riot. I felt like I walked in there with no clue at all. I don't know if it's a bad thing or not but I went all the way up to 187 questions then it stopped. I heard from most of my classmates who took it a few days ago and their's stopped between 85-95. Did I fail? I sure feel that I did and I just can't think straight since taking the test. I'm just a wreck!! :imbar

The number of quesitons has absolutely no bearing on how you did? The type of questions is more important.

Just go and take some time for yourself now.............:)

As Suzanne said, the number of questions has no bearings on whether you passed or not. It's the level at which you were consistently getting 50% correct. Keep in mind that you will get 50% wrong on the test. It's the nature of CAT (computer adaptive testing). Or should I say beast?

People can get the least amount of questions on the NCLEX-RN and fail (75), or get the most questions (265) and pass. There is a thread at the top of the forum, in a "sticky" explaining the NCLEX grading system. If you can read that, it might help you understand the grading better.

Good luck to you!

OK, the sticky I was talking about is entitled something like "NCLEX number of questions - clarifications ALL STUDENTS PLEASE READ." It's something like that and I believe it's the second one from the top of the page.

Hope this helps.
