nclex shut off at 85

Published

Hi everyone I took my boards yesterday and I am positive I failed. computer shut off at 85. If I was doing bad wouldnt it have given me more questions to pull my score up? Im going crazy! cant sleep, cant eat. other nurses are telling me shutting off at 85 is agood sign. But I truly think I blew it. is the amount of questions you have really an indicator of passing or failing? I just dont understand.

time to celebrate!!!! I PASSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:balloons::monkeydance::lol2:

Another victim to the 85 = pass statistic. The number of questions you get DOES matter, the lower the better.

Congrats

I got 85 questions, I have mixed emotions I fell like i passed. I just don't want to get my hopes up high. should i be feeling like this. I've waited so long to take the test that i had no emotion after the test. i don't know what to think. now i am about to go crazy inside just thinking about the wait. Lord please let me pass

I had mixed emotions too, I would think that if only I could have a couple more questions I would feel so much better. I know the waiting to find out makes you just want to go crazy. It is normal to be thinking the way you are thinking. If you took the boards through Pearsonvue, you can find out within two bussiness days (or maybe even earlier than that). I checked pearson everyday after I took the test and actually got my results on a sunday instead of a tuesday. I'm sure you did well.

Thank You, I am losing my mind right now. I keep telling myself i must be really stupid. Some of the questions i had never heard of. But the others i knew, i think i knew. I am about to lose my mind. I have been checking since i took it yesterday,also. :uhoh21:
