75 Questions on the NCLEX

Published

How many people had 75 questions on the NCLEX RN and failed versus how many had 75 and passed?

75 is the minimum, you may take up to 265 questions.

You can't choose to take 265 questions, and even if you get all of the questions, there is no comparison to having to take hundreds of questions over two days.

Congrats!!!! I also had 75 questions and thought I failed... I however drank a whole bottle of wine... which made everything worse... I cried to my boyfriend all night... He was SOO annoyed with me haha!!.... He kept saying shut up you passed... and I would cry and say... but what if.... hahaha I look back now and laugh!!

So Congrats to all!!

And if you didn't pass.... you just take it again... You didn't go to school for 4 years (or 2 years) to just give up!

passed with 75Q as well on my first take...im a foreign grad nursing stud and i didnt even took the local exams there since im a US citizen.so right after graduation there i flew back in cali to review and take my exam..so im pretty proud of myself especially to think im only 23..

coz ive known some people who had been takin it for 5-7 times and theyve been LVNs all their life..and theyre also much much older than me...

Tazzi,

I am with you.......the worst two days of my life. Some of us went for a drink after the first night, cause we knew it couldn't get any worse. Middle of summer, room full of people, air-conditioner broken........was awful.

Hi,

I've heard many myths about the 75 questions thing.

I've heard that some of the tests are automatically 75 questions and that some are automatically 265+ questions and that some are computer adaptive in the middle.

Good luck!!

Thanks for all the encouragement!

I had 75 questions and passed! I seriously thougt I failed. I believe the Kaplan review coursed helped and the many graces from God. I prayed for his strength and guidence during the exam and I truly believe his graces helped me pass! Praise be in him! With prayer and some work on your part, you can do it!
