Hello. I took my NCLEX on Monday and California makes you wait 2-4 weeks for the results. My computer stopped at 85. Does anyone know anybody who failed with 85?

You can pass or fail with any number. The number is irrelevant. Only matters how many questions you answered correctly. Good luck.

It is just a number and the exam is too hard to predict on how you did as you can pass or fail with either number. The good thing is if trained in the US then you have a 85% pass rate

I have a question some where on the boards it said if the computer shuts off at 85 you need 75 right?do all the question count as a point?or is it possiable to not get 75 questions correct and pass???

X amount of questions in the exam are test questions and are not counted in your score. It is expected that you will get 50% right/wrong but what is the determine factor is what level the questions are.

I would have a good read on the NSCBN website regarding the exam
