Nclex - 78 questions

Nurses New Nurse

Published

Hey all - I took the nclex this morning for the second time - I was nervous around the 75 mark cuase of failing at that score before but i got 3 more questions - 78 in all then it cut off. I know I got the last one right - but Im kinda concerned cuase it was a real easy question. I figure if i did real bad wouldnt it of cut off at 75 again and failed me? Also would it of asked me more questions if i got the 3 after 75 wrong? I dont know - I just thought the test was real hard. I really do not want to go thru the feeling of failing again.

The number of questions is no indication of passing or failing. People pass and fail with all kinds of numbers both high and low and in the middle. Good luck. :)

Dont worry... Many people I have talked have received more than 75. Remember that it is not about the numbers but about your compentency. I have not heard of anyone failing when they have an odd number if that helps you feel better. It sounds like you gave it your best shot and that is all you can do! I will be waiting to see that "I passed" thread here soon from you....:)
