NCLEX Shut off at 188 Questions

Published

So today I took my Nclex exam and honestly almost all of the questions felt like I didn't study them. I am really worried and I am just hoping that I passed. It shut off at 188 questions. They say that usually it cuts off at 75 and if you are going to pass it will finish the 265 questions. :( I am really worried.

The only thing the test shutting off at 188 questions means is that it shut off at 188 questions.

People have passed in 75, 265, and every number in between. A classmate of mine had her test stop in the 130s and she passed. Try to relax (easier said than done, I know) and stay positive.

Best of luck!

I just passed mine and it stopped at 181 questions! The amount has no indication of passing or failing. Have you tried the Pearson VUE trick?

True. Classmates have failed in 75 and passed in 265.

Hello! I just tried to do the Pearson VUE trick. However, I don't want to be charged another $360 as I took my test in Alberta, Canada. I used my Visa Debit and 2 credit cards but sad to say they both have insufficient funds and I have also entered a wrong expiration date. The message I received is "Checkout - Step 2 of 3: Submit Order

Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time." I took the test on August 1, 2018 around 11:45 and finished about 2:45 at 188 questions. They said this message is good but I am still skeptic about it as I don't know if this trick works for Canada. Any response will be helpful. Thank you.

What does the bad pop up say for you? Don't give up, if you want this you can do it, but if you give up you for sure never will!

So you used a credit card and changed the expiration date and security code and it was declined? Because it'll let anyone attempt to purchase but if you pass it says there's already an exam scheduled and if you failed it says card declined.
