Well you can be asked anything from 75 to 265 questions and it will depend on how you answer the question to how many you get. I suggest a good read on the NCSBN website and you will find some really good guides and information regarding the exam

The NCLEX exam is a computer adaptive test (CAT). You will have between 75-265 questions, and up to 6 hours to test. The exam begins by giving you a moderately easy question. If you get it wrong, they give you an easier question; if you get it correct, they give you a more difficult question. You have to answer a certain number of questions correctly above a predetermined level to pass the exam. Your computer will shut off whenever you have answered enough questions for the system to determine whether you are at a consistently passing or consistently failing level. So, your test can end at 75 questions if you answered enough questions correctly, or too many incorrectly. Don't EVER assume that you're failing! That will just sink your self-esteem and ruin your focus! REMEMBER...as long as you're still testing, you still have a chance to pass! I'm sure you'll do great!:cheers:

You really should reconsider your test date. You are aware that the test changes format in April? Move your test back to the last week in March to make it easier on yourself. Just a thought.
