NCLEX, last question right/wrong?

Published

Do any of you know whether or not it is a higher chance of passing if you know for sure that you answered the last question right before it shut off?

I retook it today, and it shut off at 184.

The last question was about prioritizing which client you would call back first

1. a client with rhinnorhea

2. a client with pink tinged urine

3. a client with a fever of 99.9

4. a client reporting the worst headache he has ever had

I picked #4 of course. I know that it is the right answer.

So, what do you all think???

There is not supposed to be a correlation between the status of your last NCLEX answer (correct/incorrect) and whether or not you pass NCLEX. That said, if you successfully answered a higher level question and your passing status was yet to be determined you should have received additional questions so that the "computer" (i.e. the software program) could determine with 95% statistical accuracy that you met the passing standard. In other words it seems unlikely that it could be determined that you failed NCLEX at question #184, when you did answer the last question correctly.

Based on the information you've posted things sound good for you, but you'll know for sure soon.
