NCLEX RN 76 Q. Pass or Fail?

Published

Hello everyone. I took my exam yesterday and the computer shuts off at 76Q. I felt happy yesterday but today I'm starting to doubt my performance if I pass or fail. The first 50Q I was certain I was gonna shut off at 75Q. From the very beginning I received SATA. I had 4 consecutive SATA. There were times I get SATA then priority questions then SATA again. One time I had SATA then Drag & Drop or Drag & Drop then SATA. From question 50-75 I didn't get any SATA anymore thats why I was hoping my computer would not to stop at 75Q and it didn't. But after 76Q it went blue!!!! But I remember my 73Q was a drag and drop. And my 76Q was a referral and I know I got it wrong coz I google it. Does that mean I dragged my score below the passing standard thats why it shuts off at 76Q eventhough I was good during the first 50 Q (I just assume!!!!). I read many stories that as the questions get harder means youre doing good. But my experience was different. I never encounter unfamiliar diseases or drugs or procedures. Questions were not complicated. Thats why I'm doubting if I was below the line miserably. I research my answers yesterday and mostly I got it right. Please help!! Does anybody fails with 76Q eventhough you have lots of Alt Format Q?? I'm going nuts right now. I can't relax this long weekend knowing tomorrow is holiday and no mail. Im planning to wait the results through mail even though my state participates in quickresult (NY BON). I'm so traumatized with this exam coz this is my 3rd attempt and hopefully will be the last. First 2 attempts with dreadful 265Q. Both 1Above, 1Below, 6Near Passing.

Please enlighten me coz I'm getting crazy right now!!!!! :(

With all that data, we still can not prognosticate as to pass/fail. It shut off at 76 because it determined with a 95% confidence that you would pass or fail at that point. At this point, you can try the PVT (and potentially put yet another $200 at risk) or you can wait until quick results are available (assuming your state participates).

Too reluctant to try the PVT. Scared as hell!! Maybe I'll wait the quickresults tomorrow. :angrybird3:

At this point after you have taken the exam, the PVT is going to effectively be 100% accurate. I don't think I've ever heard of a PVT results flip this late. Congratulations! Start checking for license numbers... but I doubt it'll post for at least a couple days because of the President's Day holiday.

I took the nclex yesterday and it shut off at 155 or 156 (I wasn't really paying attention to the number because I didn't want to psych myself out). I experienced the similar type of questions in that I got several SATA and other alt format questions in a row and then i'd get others like priority and it kept going back and forth. I'd be careful about talking specifically about topics on the nclex because the content is supposed to be confidential according to the rules. I tried the PVT this morning before 24hrs (I didn't know you had to wait that long) and got the good pop up... tried again later this afternoon and still got the good pop up! According to everyone on here, I passed so I'm feeling pretty good! Excited to hopefully have my QR by 11am tomorrow :) I couldn't wait the potential 6 weeks for my official results to be mailed so I'm definitely doing the QR. You should too or else you'll drive yourself insane for several weeks!! lol

For me the test that I had was easy that's why I was so nervous if I was getting higher level of questions coz most of my questions were too basic and knowledge based. So happy I got the good pop up! Wishing the best of luck for both of us. I finished the test in 2hours with 76Q. Im expecting my QR tomorrow 10am. Keep us posted í ½í±
