I am brand new here, and in fact am still working through my pre-reqs. I've not even APPLIED to nursing school, so I could be totally, totally wrong about this. However, I found this link:

http://www.allnursingschools.com/faqs/nclex.php

...if you look under "Length of Test", it looks to me like you're fine. However, it doesn't specifically state that the test will "end itself" as soon as you've answered enough questions to show that you've passed, so I could be completely wrong.

I'd love it if others would weigh in on this...I've been curious about the NCLEX myself!

Don't beat yourself up!

Getting fewer questions (the lowest being 75) means you either did really good or really bad. There is no way to know which one. Think positive!

Actually I believe 85 is the lowest on the PN. To the OP...I would spend the time waiting reading the NCLEX board...you'll find a TON of other posts from folks who felt the same way who a day later discovered yes they ARE a nurse! :)

I do remember how you feel though...why I was just in the same boat about 7 weeks ago waiting on those results for my NCLEX RN. Try to find something fun to do to get your mind off of it and think positive!
