# of questions percentage

Published

I know this is not scientific or anything but I read on here somewhere statistics of what percent passed at what number of questions. I have been searching and cant find the post. Does anyone know what the percent is? I am most interested in what percent pass at 75 questions!!!!!!!

Thaniks in advance!!!

On here, the percent is around 90% passed with 75 questions. HOWEVER, I want to stress that a very good friend of mine failed it last week with 75 questions so don't put too much faith in those "statistics".

I myself would love it to be accurate because I answered 75 and am praying I passed.

It is really sad to think that after 3 long hard years of school that one test and 60 questions (stopped at 75) will determine if I will be an RN. I am usually a good test taker and made "B's" all through school. I came out feeling dumb as a brick. I had 15 select all that apply and 7-8 of those were in the first 15 questions. I NEVER get "select all that apply":no: on tests.

I totally understand. I had a TON of SATA questions and I get them wrong too. I leave one out or add one too many. I was very discouraged and felt stupid. I too was a strong B student and did really well on both my mid-term and exit HESI tests. I feel like I confused a bunch of the questions and got them backwards. The more I think about it, the sicker to my stomach I feel.

Try to not stress out. I know it is not easy......believe me I KNOW. But try. You did your best and it is now out of your hands!!!

Good Luck!

Oh my goodness, I'm with you guys. I got shut off at 77 questions and I had SO many SATAs -- I'd have 3-4 in a row, then an obscure med question, then a few more SATAs...

I'd love to know the percent too. fingers crossed.

I was hoping to hear through my boards because they have been posting rather quickly. Pearson said my quick results were available literally 48 hours and 5 minutes after starting my exam.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I know in my state they brochure said 85% pass overall, but not sure about the % at 75 questions. It can mean you are doing really well or really NOT well for it to shut off that early. I think it is usually a good sign but not sure.
