I had 180 the firt time and 130 the second time. I have alot of friends that had 265 and passed. There is no way to predict the outcome of that crazy exam. Just do the best you can and pray. Good luck to everyone:loveya:

Joining the "265" club. Took the test this morning-sat there for 4 1/2 hours and got all 265.......part of me feels as though I failed, not sure what the other part feels........not sure how I am going to make it through the weekend. The paper regarding early info says 2 business days........is it really 2 business days? I know exactly where each on this thread feels, it is a horrible feeling. Think I am going to go and take a nap, I truly feel physically drained. Prayers to all:heartbeat

I just took my NCLEX-RN for the 2nd time on the 14th with 265 questions and found out friday that i failed, again. :no: It took my 5 hours & i didn't take any breaks because I didn't want to lose focus. I'm not sure how I actually did because i haven't gotten my paperwork from the state with the breakdown on it yet but I'm hoping it's at least better than last time.

now I have to wait, what 90 days, to retake it again? does anyone know if that is correct?

I am thinking about taking the kaplan review course or maybe doing Suzanne's review. At this point I'm just not sure but I know I have to set aside a specific time period for studying and make it almost like a job. It's frustrating :banghead: and humilitating failing it twice but I'm not giving up!!!

Each state has either 45 days or 90 days so a lot will depend on state. Sorry you failed but hang in and good luck for next time

I would be happy to get 265 questions, if a few days later I also got the news that I passed.

Hello Mandycat,

I am so thankful for people that share stories that encourage people. I lost my mom at 16, and she didn't get to see all the hard work I put into nursing school, but I am confident somehow she knows. I wish you the best! I took my NCLEX today and had 265 questions. I haven't cried yet, because I feel there is still hope.

Why is it that the way the NCLEX works as far as the number of questions is an UNENDING thread on one place or another on here at any given time. I don't get it. Do the people at all these schools not explain how the whole thing works to nursing students......cause lord knows there have been enough threads here explaining the whole thing! ---- The number of questions has nothing to do with passing or failing nor does getting every single question-- all three hundred and what ever it is....forget now but it's been almost 6 years....just had to say that.........but CONGRATS to anyone that passes--

i hate to be the bearer of bad news but back in early june 2008 i had 265 and failed, i do feel like most people that take 265 will indeed pass, i can remember getting questions wrong because i was just ready to go. i was in ther for far too long, i have add so i am not good at long time frames of boredom

if i can suggest, take breaks! take a break if the test does not stop at 75, then take a break every 50 questions after that

the second time i took the test i passed with 75 questions in like 45 minutes

keep you nerves in check, thats what cost me
