Hello everybody My name is Al I just recently took the PN Test Last Friday. I feel really awful because I prepared atleast a month before I took the test and I felt like It wasn't enough. I ran out of time and I stop at 155. Now I don't know if i failed it because I ran out of time. I was surprise because I was told the test should stop before the time rans out to determine wether you pass or not. I really don't know what to do. I really prayed for that and ask the Lord God to help me. Everybody is counting on me to pass that test especially my Family. Does anybody have thesame situation where they ran out of time? If they pass or not?

Good luck with your results!! Yeah if you ran out of time, they have the "60 questions rule" so those questions determine whether you passed or not, but i'm hoping you did. Good luck!!

Hi, I know what you mean..The test can give you 205 questions and you have just 5 hours to complete it..So if you do fail, next time, try to time yourself in doing 41 questions in 1 hour..I took my NCLEX PN two weeks ago and I passed with 170 questions..During that time, I was behind the 41 questions in an hour mark and I had to play catch up...I had to do my questions a lot faster..When it shut off at 170, I still had about an hour and a few minutes left to do 35 questions which was a comfortable pace..

hey bala congrats on passing the NCLEX:monkeydance:
am taking mine on the sept 25th i have been doing saunders(good for contents) and kaplan Qbank (good for critical thinking) (hard!!!!)
i heard theres a lot of priority question...
i have the new Saunders and i got 60/65= 92% on the delegation and priority questions exam (i think its easy).
on Kaplan wow its hard but the priority i am good with it. (assess first, priority intervention, triage question,) avg score 50-65...i also have kaplan trainer for RN hehehe but i skip all Question except priority question.
did you get a lot of priority?
how many percent do you need to pass the nclex???
i would appreciate any tips you would like to give me because i am like nervous.
thanks and congrats again Bala on passing the NCLEX!!!
