75 Questions..pass Or Fail?

is It True That If You Got The Last Question Correct..and Stopped And 75..does This Mean I Pass?

All it means is that the test is over and there's nothing you can do now, but wait! I know it's easier said than done, but YOU'll DRIVE YOURSELF CRAZY if you sit there and keep trying to figure it out. Just relax and enjoy the fact that you don't have to study anymore. GO OUT and do something fun! :)

goshhhhhhhh..it is easier said than done. i am really bad in standardize test....but with this test..i really tried my best to study for it. i feel like i critically guess on most of them :'( whooooooooaaaaa....

And that's normal to feel like you guessed on most of the questions ..... the test is set up so you only score about 50%. Believe me, it's NORMAL to feel that way!

Good luck. Hang in there.

i know exactly how you feel! i took mine on tuesday and i just knew i failed it. but i got the good news yesterday. i think it must be a normal reaction. i hope you get good news soon!

Keeping my fingers crossed that you passed!

Welcome to allnurses!

Good luck and welcome to allnurses

boy, i hate google-ing info for nurse stuff because it seems like a lot of info is old (e.g. 2006 or earlier). i know this is especially annoying when it comes to pay, because a few years can make a big difference in what people are now making.

anyway, i figure i should put in my 2cents worth to give prospective, anxious, and nervous nursing students a little piece of mind......

so this section asks about passing the NCLEX-RN. this is my story:

1. most of my classmates had 75 questions.

2. they had almost 100% pass rate. (a classmate had 75 and didnt pass)

3. i, personally, had 135 questions.

4. i WANTED more questions because i felt i had not "proved" myself to be a competent and safe nurse. (more ? is not necessarily bad. its just the test giving you more chances to prove yourself) but the test ended.

5. i also missed my last question. (looked it up when i got home).

6. needless to say, i was pretty bummed

7. good news: i passed!! (results posted in 3 business days in Calif)

so, avoid myths about missing the last question, or anything about the # of questions. its a hard test. if you feel good coming out, you probably did poorly. if you feel like youre the biggest dumb nurse and you failed, you probably passed.

hope this helps! best of luck

i sure must hope that i'm dumb in my next try... maybe the reason i failed is that i felt confident that i passed........... =(

Not much more can be said the previous members gave really good advice.

Relax, Good Luck

Welcome!

i took my rn-nclex last week. the last couple of days was dreadful, waiting to see my name online. unfortunately i haven't seen it which only means one thing....i have FAILED. i've lost hope and now i'm waiting for a large envelope which i've gotten the first time i took it. my computer shut off at 75. i had 4 select all that apply, lots of priorities, 2 med math, lots of meds.

i don't know how to study for the 3rd time. i took kaplan and was hitting above 60%. i don't know what could have gone wrong. i'm still waiting for my result.

i need help on getting back on study mode....any tips. i am now DEPRESSED and hopeless....how many times will it take until i pass. my family depend on me to pass.....
