NCLEX at 75 questions

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

So this is my first post on here but I just took the NCLEX yesterday and it stopped me at 75 questions. I felt good going through it and when it stopped I was happy because the questions felt easy to me. As I was driving back home for an hour I started to think, well they were easy questions, I got maybe 10 sata, 2 exhibit and the rest were multiple choice. Everyone I have talked to said when they stopped at 75 or more they said it was the hardest test of their life and got more than 30 sata (and it wasn't for me) When I got home I looked up 5 easy recall questions I had and got them wrong... They always say recall are below passing. Has anyone been in this situation and passed at 75 with a bunch of easy questions you know you got wrong?

Were the questions you got wrong towards the end of your exam?

I don't know about getting easy questions wrong, but I do know that I didn't get a lot of SATA and I still passed in 75q. I also didn't get any exhibit or drag/drop questions either. Only 1 strip. Try not to worry too much, there's nothing else you can do at the moment but just wait. I know it is extremely difficult, but worrying isn't going to help! Good luck.

Took mine July first mine sounded pretty similar . 10 satas and 3 exhibits. 75 questions and mine shut off. I found mine easy so according to Kaplan I swore I failed... Tried Pvt after 1 hr and 26 hrs with good pop up. Quick results say I passed.... Good luck let us know.

Easy questions for you might be hard for someone else. So maybe you prepared so well and did great in school.

I thought my PN exam was easy. I passed with 140 questions.

I thought my RN exam was hard and I failed with 92. Then I took it for the second time, it was mix hard and easy but I passed with max. questions.

Update: I passed! Thank you for the replies!
