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?

Hi just took my exam today. Had 89 questions, lots of sata. 1 computation,1 audio..i already tried the pv trick and had a bad pop up..

Just wondering if anyone of you had a bad pop up and still passed. Pls pls reply..

75 questions and i passed. I was confident, but also apprehensive because the questions i got felt easy. i heard its supposed to get harder with each passing question and not the other way around? anyway, it wasn't that bad. My country's local board exam was harder with 500 questions. lol=D

Took my exam today. I'm so nervous. I went through and finished in 75 questions. I feel like this must be a good thing, but at the same time, I know I got quite a few wrong. I am absolutely terrified!!!!

I feel for you dontchaknow. It's a relief to finish and be able to get through the exam but waiting for the result is just unexplainable..:confused:

There is a God. I did pass. I have never prayed harder for anything my life! I can't believe I passed, honestly. I was so so so doubtful. To those taking the NCLEX and are worried, keep moving forward, even when you think all hope has been lost. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, though I get by. A positive attitude will get you through this exam, not knowledge or facts. Don't let the number of questions you get concern you. Just keep showing that test who's boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone I know that had only 75 questions at shut-off passed. Not saying it is always the case. It's my understanding that if you failed after only a 75 question NCLEX, then you REALLY failed. They feed you more questions based on which ones you are getting right and wrong (easy, medium, hard). You have to correctly answer a certain number of hard ones to pass.

I was 8 months pregnant, miiddle of summer, and could not sit comfortably or breathe. When it shut off after 75 I was relieved because I couldn't breathe, had to pee...and frankly by the end was not really concentraiting on the test.

It says it takes 72 hours to be notified....but I called the next day 10 minutes before they closed because I couldn't wait. I nearly collapsed when they said "congratulations! you're an RN!"

I took NCLEX today and going crazy right now. Was studying for a long time and felt confident. After test I felt like they asked every subject that I DID NOT study:uhoh3:. Anyway, computer shot down on q #75 which I know I got wrong. Does that mean I fail? I need medical attention RIGHT NOW:heartbeat.

Actually, the fact that it felt like it asked every question you didn't study may be kinda accurate.

It will give you more questions in the subject you get the wrong answers to. So if you are getting a lot of cardiac wrong, it will throw you more cardiac. Etc. At least that's how it was when I took it. The nursing instructor was telling us about it. When I joined my hospital as a nurse intern after I graduates, they gave all nurse interns a two week classroom/lecture type orientation. Along with a fully paid Kaplan review. I think the Kaplan was a very awesome review and a good part of the reason I passed
