Do people really pass after 265 Questions-NCLEX

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Ok. Now I'm really frustrated. I was sitting in that room for over 3 hours and watching the questions count all the way to 265. I was the last person to leave. I'm not feeling very confident. I know most of you said that it shut off after 75 questions or so, and you passed. I have only heard of a few people passing with 265 questions...anyone out there?

I studied and did lots of practice questions. The truth is, I don't test well - I usually "barely" pass everything related to these types of exams.

It will be a long weekend while awaiting the results. I already have a job lined up so I think I will be rather embarrassed if I have to tell them that I failed. Not only that, but I'm still burnt out with all of this studying stuff! Advice?

:nurse: I did take the exam for the second time and got all 265 darn questions and passed. WoooHooooo!!!!!

i took the nclex today and had all 265 questions. My brain was NUMB when i left so if it grades mainly on the last 70 or so im SCREWED! I couldn't even think anymore after sitting in front of the computer for 5 1/2 hours! I wil let you all know just to see what the percentage of pass/fail is for persons who get 265 questions. My fiance said that he had heard that it has a control that some people will get all 265 no matter what...I think that may just be a rumor. I didn't study i will be honest, so if i don't pass i will know why :( I don't know why i did that so don't ask haha.

I passes NCLEX with 265 questions in July 2008. I was so over the torture. I still can't belive I actually passes!!!

My friend passed a week ago with 265!

i took the Nclex-rn exam just this morning AUG 6, 09 at Gardena, CA.

my computer shuts off at 138. and finished it for 3.5hours. now I'm worried that i did not do good with the exam.

the computer kept throwing medication questions at me!! I had about 15 meds!! with different style of questions! there was Select all that apply questions for a one single drug, and many more! i also had SIX select all that apply questions, and one drug computation! most of my questions were on prioritization and delegation! and infection control, i also had uhmm what to include in the NCP of a certain disease, i got one herbal med question, no maternity question thank goodness, and a couple of growth and development questions!!!

I'm really worried!! I can't sleep well tonight that is why I'm sharing my story!! i hope i nailed the exam!! the results will take about 2-3 weeks i think!! help me ease my burden! anyone?!!! waaaaaaaaaaahhhh i don't know what to do!!! i

My best friend passed at 265~!!! So, it's definitely possible and a blessing to make it through all those questions and to pass! Yay!

I am an LPN. I recently took my NCLEX RN. It took me 5 1/2 hours with all 265 questions. I cried when I walked out of the testing center. I was for sure I had failed. I thought to myself, if I have to retake this test, what am I to do. This is the worst, horrible test anyone can take. One day later, I found out I passed. I was so relieved. I felt a load of my shoulder, life can now continue.... So, for anyone who feels it's hopeless, have faith. Study hard because it's like no other test you have ever taken. But, no matter how hard you study, you will never really be prepared for this exam. The questions are hard and different... But, just try your best and pray..alot. Good Luck to all who is taking this exam....

Well I took nclex-rn here in CA on Oct. 8th and did all 265 questions too! I tried to pearsonvue trick and got the pop up that I can't register. I shall update when I get my result or see my name on the CABON website.

I had the same experience, I answered 265 questions for 5.5 hours. I was crying in front of the computer but I told myself I have to go on and do my best in each question. I cried for three days but I keep on consoling myself that I might had a chance to pass it since I notice that the questions are getting harder. After three days I checked with the CABON and I saw my name with RN in it. I know that prayers can truly move mountains! For all of you who's still waiting for the result, just keep on praying! goodluck to y'all

Congratulations to you azalea04, i took mind the other day and i could just tell that i was going to go all the way to 265 questions. I a ma re taker and the furthest i got was 216 the last time so i figured if i went that far the computer still couldn't tell if i passed or not, so know all i feel like doing is crying b/c i have taken this exam so many times, i still don't see my name on the BON website and i feel like such a disappointment to my family and i don't even want to talk to any of my friends abt it b/c i am sure that they will be saying stuff behind my back and i just cant take that right now. I want to pass so bad, the only thing that is giving me hope is that my last 5 questions were the ones with , best , most, essential, immediate which i believe to be high priotity questions. iam so bummed. which i had money to go to the store and drwon my sorrows.

Thanks for reading , whoever reads!!!

For dimples 4321 : Thank u!! =). With prayers and hard work, I finally passed The Nclex RN!

dimples Keep the faith and hang in there! Whatever happens you have to be strong and stay focus. There is no room for frustrations, keep your head up! Do not think that your a dissapointment to your family because its not true. Families are always there for us no matter what!

Try to assess yourself, what you need for improvements. You reached 216 questions and look at in a positive way. This means that your almost there and you just need to try more harder. You have started everything and all you have to do is finish it, nobody but yourself can help you. Try new things, assess your study habits and always think positive! Think of happy thoughts and remind yourself that you are surrounded with people who loves you and supports you all the way. In my experience, whenever I feel like giving up, I look for a peaceful place and talk to him and express to him my desire to pass the test and give a good life to my babies. This will help you a lot and give you peace of mind.

I took my NCLEX-RN twice and failed it the first time. The first time I took the test. I studied hard (I'm 4 months pregnant so this makes it more harder) and did everything to be prepared for the test. But I always have doubts and fears which is conquering my mind. I always think of people and friends, of what they would tell me if I fail the test and how I would react. They always expressed that passing the test will be hard since I'm a foreign graduate and that english is my second language. I was so engrossed to the fact that I will prove them wrong that I forgot about my family and friends who were always there on my side who unconditionally supported me on my review. I don't have time to thank God for all the blessings I had. Its like I don't have a purpose. On the day of my exam, I feel very heavy as if something is wrong. I took the test only for an hour and the computer shuts down at 75. I don't even remember anything about it. After three days, I found out I failed. I was in denial and waited until I received the mail from CABON. There it is right in front of me stating I failed. I was devastated and been crying for a week. My three months of study and hard work have been wasted. Getting 75 questions and failing it made me furious! This means that I'm way below. After I talked to my mom and get some powerful words of encouragement, I quickly get my book and started to study again. I told myself that this time there will never be excuses for me. I have to work really hard in order to reach my goals of becoming RN and also to give a good future for my babies. At this time I'm seven months pregnant so its really hard to study and work at the same time. I'm on the verge of giving up but I keep on reminding myself of the purpose why I have to push myself harder. Prayer also gives me comfort and strenght to stay focus. In my spare time I talk to God and tell him that this time I will pass the test and I need his help. I surrounded myself with positive aura. After the taking my first test I waited 45 days, as soon as i got my ATT, I registered and scheduled my test. I gave myself two weeks to study then took my test. The day before the exam, I never touch any book and just spend time with my family and pray. I realized that having a purpose in life helps you to acheive what you really want in life. The next day, I feel so peaceful. I was able to endure 5.5 hours of answering each question. I never entertained any negative thoughts and just push myself to go on. after two days, I checked CABON and there it is my name with RN in it. It was dream come true!! I was so overwhelmed I forgot that I was pregnant, I ran downstairs and deliver the news to my husband. It was the best time of my life! So dimples hold on to your dreams and keep the faith! You will have your day, just be patient and keep on trying! I hope my story can help you in any way!! *hugz*
