75 Questions

Nursing Students NCLEX

I took the NCLEX-RN on 7/19 and passed with 75 questions. I felt pretty confident when I walked out of there, but it was reassuring to see "pass" on the Pearson Vue site. (even though I had to pay 7.95 grr)

I used Saunders to review and did the NCSBN for the final few weeks of prep. I did the 5 week course. To me, it was worth the $69 to see what the questions were like. I think it really helped me with the priority and delegation questions. I was scared though because my scores on their post tests and the random Q & A were not very high. They improved with practice though and they reflected all levels of questions.

Congratulations! I, too, passed with 75 questions. I felt pretty good too, until yesterday (took mine same day as you), the wait was horrible, started having doubts about myself. But, I did it. I didn't think it was too terrible either.

congratulations again!

You felt CONFIDENT after leaving there?? Man....knowing you only get 50% right before passing, I can't imagine anyone feeling confident after that test! I had 79 questions and was sure I bombed....as did all of my friends who got 75, lol....50% right means either you got alot wrong you thought you nailed, or you got alot right you thought you screwed up, lol.....

Congrats!!

Thanks!!

About the confidence....I knew that I was a good student throughout my nursing program and that our program has high pass rates. Also, I prepared well. Another thing, when it shut off at 75 questions I knew that was a very good sign. I had been getting a lot of priority and infection control questions. Those were areas where I felt pretty solid. Then I got home and looked up about 8-10 questions that I was unsure of...I had all but 1 of those right. Still, it was nervewracking waiting 48 hours.......:uhoh3:

I was another who felt great when I left, actually pumped up and talking a mile a minute. There were a few in my class who felt the same so don't let anyone take that feeling from you!

Feels great doesn't it? I cut off at 75 too and it made me think it's either I could have done well or I could have bombed it! I had to wait for 2 weeks to know my result and thankfully I passed .... whew! :uhoh21:
