Getting number 265 right assures you of a pass. I read that somewhere and it applied in my case.

Hi everyone,

So I wrote the NCLEX yesterday in Toronto.. and i too had the 265 question.. I am pretty sure I failed.. it was soo hard.. I had stuff that I never even heard of.. tons of meds.. tons of indection control..I came home and did the pearson vue trick.. and went to the credit card page.. I knwo I failed.. I'm looking for a miracle.. =( Will be doing the quick results tomorrow. How does the computer determine if you passed or failed with 265 questions??

I took it in November and got 265 questions....I failed! I took it again yesterdy and got 265 AGAIN!! Uhg!! But I did the PVT and got the "goog pop-up"! I am praying that it is true!! I keep refreshing the BON site like I have OCD..lol! But from what I have heard..the trick works. I do know of several people who have passed with 265 qustions and have read alot of posts that people have passed/failed with 75 too. All I know is...It would be the most wonderful Christmas present ever!! Good luck to all of you who are awaiting your results too!

I took my test yesterday and i feel terrible! It was not my first time taking it. I am so discouraged. I am desperate to pass this annoying test. I felt confident about the test until they gave me dosage calculation especially the peds calculation. I know i got all of them wrong. On the bright side i think i did good towards the end of the test. I know i got the last question right. Does that make a difference when it comes to passing or failing?

I took it in December 28, 2009 with 265 questions for 5 hrs and 15 mins. I passed! Praise Jesus...

I just took the NCLEX yesterday and got the awful 265 questions I have been so down ever since and so worried about getting my scores- this thread has made me believe that there is a chance i am going to pass because before reading this I was sure I had failed- I was wondering though- does anyone know if the rumor that if you get 265 questions that the last question is the one that determines if you pass or fail is true? I am so nervous about that because I dont think i got the last question right and im freaking out!

HELP!

i took the nclex for the second time last thursday and was too afraid to check the results until today. The first time I took the test for granted and thought that since I had graduated recently (in December) I didn't need more than 2 weeks to study. My test stopped at 107 questions two and a half hours after starting it. I failed. The second time around I studied monday thru saturday for a month and a half. I prayed the whole time I was studying, during the test, and while I waited to see the results. I got all 265 questions the second time and spent all 6 hours taking the test without any breaks. I was running out of time so I rushed through the last questions. I felt unsure about most of my answers and was pretty convinced that I had failed again. I came out of the testing center crying my eyes out with everyone who asked me how it was. However, I finally checked today because I couldn't live with the burden of not knowing any longer and I found out I passed! I wanted to let those who are still in the process of passing the NCLEX know that if we made it through nursing school we can definitely PASS this test. Just remember to have faith in God and to study as much as possible. Don't take this test for granted but also, believe in yourself because that part was the hardest one for me after failing it the first time. Good luck to everyone.

Just a heads up to those who haven't taken the NCLEX: I got a lot of infection control questions, prioritizing care questions (like which patient would the nurse see first?...what should the nurse do first?..etc.), and pharmacological questions. I also got a lot of the select all that apply. Remember I got all 265 questions. Again, good luck and don't give up if you don't make it the first time. :) :nurse: :up:

SO i just got my results today and found out that i PASSED! Guess i shouldnt have been worried about getting the last question right- i was so sure i failed so this is such a huge relief! I also got alot of infection control, prioritizing and select all that apply questions- what a drag but thank god its over!! Good luck to all who are taking it soon- and i guess this does show that is is DEF possible to pass with 265 questions :)
