NCLEX shut off at 189!!!

Published

Took the test this morning and got 189 questions. I don't know what to think everyone I know has gotten only 75 and passed. I had a lot of Select all that apply (like 6 of them), 1 math, and a lot of multiple choice. A lot of OB, delegation and priority questions. I am a nervous wreck, I PRAY that I passed. Can anyone help me out with information regarding PA and when I can see if I got a license or passed? Thanks.

I hope you passed. 189 ain't nothing but a number. Best of luck to you!

If PA is one of the state that allows "early answers", you likely can pay about 8 bucks to Pearsonvue (where you took the test) and get the "unofficial" results. The "official" results can take anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks to post on the BON website, depending on the state.

Hope you can get your info early!!

Pennsylvania doesn't participate in Quick Results, but I remember seeing a fairly recent thread on this forum about NCLEX results in PA. You might try a search here. Good luck!

For some reason, people like to say they "only had 75" and passed,,,trying to make you believe that they are "better" than the ones who had more. Don't let it influence your emotions. You will be just as licensed, no matter what number you had. One of our "A" students had 265 questions.

She has a license also.

By the way, when people say "I only had 75!" I say, "oh really?" That is all.

(I had 85,,,and I feel just fine with that.)

Its been a while since I have replied to this topic.......well almost a year now. But anyway I passed. Thanks for everyones support.
