All get 50% correct and 50% incorrect. The level at which you are answering questions correctly decides your fate on the exam. It is not graded like you were in school.
what do u mean that the level at which we are answering questions decides on our fate? i took the nclex pn yesterday and it seemed as if i got a lot of "easy" questions and i was told that when you answer a question wrong the computer gives u an easier question, and if you answer right then it gives you a harder "higher level" question.
truth is, i do not feel as if i passed this exam at all. i shut off at 85, and it took me a little bit less than 2 hours to take it. i don't feel i got too many of those higher level questions and it seemed like i got a bunch of select all that apply. i didn't get any calculations, which is also making me think that i wasn't passing anyway therefore the computer never even gave me a calculation or fill in the blank...
i'm sooo stunned and i feel so sad.

is it true that if you dont receive your result after 21 days it means you failed? i'm getting really worried now...

If you haven't received your results after 21 days, you have to wait longer. Length of time waiting for the processing of the test results has nothing to do with the results. You might want to contact the Board, though, to make certain that everything is in order. There could be a holdup because something is missing from your file.

I know in Ohio you can check the board of nursing's website the next day and if you passed it is there. It's tricky to find but I found it. I take my NCLEX-PN next week and I'm freaking out. Everyone in my class has passed so far and most of their computers shut off around 85. I just pray i keep getting hard questions. Haha. I keep hearing if it seems easy, you're probably failing and if it seems really hard, you're probably passing!Ahhhh!
