I see lots of posts about passing or failing with 75 questions, just curious what the stats are. I would like to think that nursing school prepares us enough that those who get 75 are mostly passing?

csabiker -

I am sure you passed! I looked up all the ones I remembered and know I got them wrong. Then I read somewhere that you really only remember the ones that you were unsure of and/or guessed wrong. You don't remember all of the ones you were pretty sure you could figure out the answer, or KNEW were right. That's why you feel you got them all wrong :) The waiting is horrible. It's like some sort of hazing!

Let us know in a few days when you find out you passed!

Well no results yet, but a friend who took her test on the same day already has her name posted on the BRN website and no sign of my name yet so it's not looking good! I'm honestly a mess right now not knowing...

Just took NCLEX today and shut off at 75. I could just SCREAM. I think I'm too in shock to even cry. I have a glimmer of hope that I passed. But I really felt like I was guessing on everything. And I know it may have just been my mind messing with me, but it felt like the administrators there all had the "awww try again next time" look on their faces as I was leaving.

LOTS of crazy medication questions, we didnt even LEARN these in school!!!

Hang in there...here's my story which hopefully might give you some more hope!

I want to wish you all the best and trust me when I say try and be patient! I know it is just near impossible to be patient when your entire future/life hinges on this one silly exam, but I have probably taken 5 years off my life with all my worrying these past few days! :uhoh3: I took my test the same day (January 20th) as a friend of mine and she got her results within 2-3 days...I have waited an unimaginable 8 days... to finally find out today that I PASSED!!!

I swore in my 75 question exam that I must have failed and that the universe would subsequently implode after such event...but turns out there were other, more fruitful plans for me. I obsessively checked the BRN website everyday and even went as far to stay up past midinight one night to check the newly posted results to no avail (don't bother by the way cuz I'm pretty sure they do not post results til around 2am-3am..way past my bedtime) :bugeyes:

So here's my advice as a person previously on the edge of completely losing it cuz I was making myself crazy with this test & results:

#1- Never give up hope...if you're not officially out, keep telling yourself, "you're still in the game!"

#2- Wait until you have an official reply from the board before doing something drastic like starting to study again!!

#3- Don't believe the hype about # of questions & pass/fail or how long it takes to get results. I passed in 75 , but so did my friend @ 265 questions. And I got my results days after friends!

#4- Try and relax because if you pass then great, but if you don't, I promise the universe will not subsequently implode!

Best of luck everyone!!! :D

Hi everyone,

I took the NCLEX-PN today, and I maxed out at 205 questions. I felt that the questions were not difficult or easy. I'm just so very worried and anxious, and I think that i failed. I think that it's unfair that California doesn't have the quick results so I'm stuck here waiting for 3-4 weeks. I am just super stressed.

Hang in there "asicjen"...there is literally nothing you can do from this point on so try and relax (very difficult I know...trust me...I'm a super stresser) Know that you did all that you can and from this point on it's no longer in your hands! Good luck and keep us posted, I'll say an extra prayer for you tonite!

Thank you csabiker. Your right I'll try not to worry about this too much. I guess I'll just pick up some extra days at work. Thank you for the prayer.
