my friend just took the test (pn) and stopped questions at 100th.
She said the questions were so hard, she wasn't sure what she answered at all.
She never heard dignoses' names in questions when she studied before.
All that apply was only two.
She is kind of depressed now and I want to her cheer up and have some hope because she studied more than anyone, so her fail doesn't make sense.
Is there anyone who passed with over 100 questions?

People pass or fail at every different number of questions. The NCLEX is a difficult test to predict. Even people who are very well prepared can fail on any given day. Just tell your friend not to give up. She doesn't fail until she gives up.

I'm confused, did she fail or she feels like she failed? I'm assuming you mean think that she failed. Most (not all) people feel like they failed after they take the exam. My bf just took the exam, and swore he failed at 75 questions (only to find out he passed). He just knew he didn't answer most of the questions wrong. On another note I passed with over 100 questions, and I took the exam April of this year. So there is hope

I know how she feels! I took mine yesterday which stopped at 85. BUT the number of questions you get is no indication of whether you pass or fail! my twin sister and I both tested on the same day and i had 85 (the minimum) and she got 205 (the max). it is an adaptive test, so the number of questions you get is not relevant! Good luck to your friend!
