I just recently found out that I had passed NCLEX!! At the 75th question, I took a deep breath, and clicked the next button. I was a little upset that it didn't shut off at 75, and then I told myself that that was the end, I was going to get all 265. The next question came up and when I clicked the next button, the gray screen popped up. I almost cried. I answered 76 questions? It was something I hadn't heard of. I totally convinced myself for that 49 hours waiting for my results, that I had not only failed, but failed miserably! I searched all over the net and my only glimpse of hope were the forums on this site. After the dreaded waiting period, I found out I had passed online. The second I saw the word pass under by name I burst out crying. So...in conclusion- 76 questions on the nclex does not mean you failed!
