I had 109 questions and passed, talk about a odd number so you can pass with a odd 97. I am new to the site as far as posting yet I always read the threads on here. This website got me through a tough time when it came to NCLEX, the people on here keep your spirits high during the time that you are waiting for your results. Keep the faith, I was feeling the same way you do right now. P.S I took the test twice also, first time I had all 265 questions. I recently passed last week.
