NCLEX BIG QUESTION

Published

Hello all

So today I took the big test, and it shut of at 235 questions. Here is the situation, I understand that the test is adaptive, moving you above and below the standard as questions are answered right or wrong. I know for a fact I got my final question right, but it was a question requiring me to pretty much know a definition, no critical thinking required. When you are way above standard, to the point the test turns off, the questions are supposed to be more difficult. But if you are below standard, the questions become simpler. So, can you fail when answering the last question right, when that question was not question 265?

I know, calm down right....:uhoh3:

I think its about the overall percentage of questions you have gotten correct. If you DEFINITELY got the final question correct then it would make sense that you had hit the % you needed. BUT if you are unsure about that last question than just keep your fingers crossed and think positive thoughts!!

All I know about how the way it works, is when the computer system says you passed, you passed. This is all I have to know. Good luck.

The test is actually not about % total you got right. It's about % of "passing level" questions you got correct. So theoretically if you got the last question right, but it was still in the "below passing" range you may not have passed.

But positive thinking and I hope that you passed! Good luck!

Don't forget that the last question could have been a pilot question...and it might not count at all.

Good luck with your official results.
