85 Questions

Published

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has or knows of someone taking the NCLEX-PN, computer shuts off at 85 questions and they fail?

I know all the reasoning behind pass/fail, I'm just curious.

Tomorrow I will know my results, today is dragging by.

Please don't move this question to the NCLEX forum. I'm not getting responses from that forum, only from staff.

Thanks,

Ruper :bugeyes:

I took NCLEX today and it stopped at 85. I do not know what to think. Everybody says something different. I live in California so i have to wait a long time before i know the results. If anyone knows faster way to find out the results please let me know. Thanks!

I hear in California it takes about 3 weeks to get your results. I only see that through the postings on this site. I feel the pain of all those that test in CA.

I live in Missouri. I took my test on Monday, it shut off at 85 questions and I found out Wednesday morning that I passed.

The instructors at my school told me that it is a most rare occurance for someone to fail with 85 questions. You would have had to not done well throughout the test.

So I'm thinking you are pretty good !

I wish I knew a way for you to find out quicker. Maybe someone will post some helpful info.

Hang In There!!!!

I got tears in my eyes reading your post, Im sorry to hear of your loss, Im sure your mom was rooting you on all along. I lost my hubby back in 97 and have been struggling trying to raise our daughter, bought a house, do everything w no family and little support.. so I really feel I have come a long way but I miss him like crazy and wish he were here to see all both our daughter and I has accomplished... my NCLEX is in 4 days....

Congrats to you, you deserve it ...!

heartjules, i am also sorry for your loss. i'm sure your husband knows what all you and your daughter have done and that he is very proud of you both!

i know this will sound a little crazy, but wed. afternoon i was at walmart and on an end cap were some flowers that were marked down. there was a large bunch of purple iris's (my mom's favorite color was purple and she had purple iris's all along the back of their house) sticking out from the rest and the flowers were even in an odd place, not in the flower section. as soon as i saw them i knew i had to buy them and visit the cemetary. it was really cold and the wind was blowing so strong, but it didn't matter, i had me a little talk with mom.

maybe it is just wishful thinking, but i believe "little" things like that happen just to remind us and let us know they are with us.

on friday, i went to put my application in for a job and ended up leaving the place with an lpn position with orientation next wed. the 6th. today i got my letter that is a temporary work permit. it was a busy week!

i wish you much luck with your nclex. the best advise i can give is to read your questions and make sure you understand what they are asking. that is a huge key!

many blessings to you and i look forward to hearing from you about your results.

ruper, lpn

Emerld, you are feeling exactally as I felt last Monday after taking my NCLEX. I don't think anything will make you feel different until you get your results.

But it shut off on 85 for me as well as my classmate that took hers at the same time. Another classmate had taken her test the week before, it shut off at 85 and she passed as well.

I think you will get good news!

Does your state have the 48 hour opportunity to get results?

You said you probably won't know until Wednesday.

If it is 48 hours, the results should be there Monday. One classmate took her test on a Friday and found out on Sunday. So I don't think they mean "business" days.

I will be looking forward to hearing your good news!

Yes, we all went to the Pearson testing center. We didn't ask, just started checking and the results were there at the 48 hour mark. The friend that found her results on Sunday said the same thing.

We are in Missouri, I hope haven't given you false hope. I just know what happend for us. Good Luck!

:balloons: Congrats to all that passed the NCLEX!! :balloons:

I took the NCLEX today and left feeling like I failed! but the test shut off at 85 questions. I studied some everyday, received a high pass on the mock boards before we graduated, and had an A-B average the whole year. . .

Everyone seems to feel the same when they leave the test . . .

I guess we will just have to pray for good results!!

Again, congulations to all the new licensed LPNs!!!! Hope to join you soon!!
