265 questions

Published

I just took my ohio nclex and had to do ALL 265 questions. Does this mean I failed? I have been a good student and passed my ATI the first time, anyone else with this?:cry:

can somebody answer me this question, i posted it in another forum but no response. i kind of understood what i was reading here, but why is it that some people get different amounts of questions. i seen one girl who had 110, then another had 200, then one had 75. why is that.

This is what I read in one of my NCLEX review books: the computer keeps popping out questions until it decides that you must know enough to be a competent new nurse, or until you run through all the questions. Now why some people stop at 75, 110, 195, 200 or 265, I don't know--my guess is that the computer is giving these people additional questions to give them a chance to show that they do know the material...and where they stop questioning is where they stop.

And like a prior poster said, there's probably some hapless soul that gets stuck with all 265 questions just for the heck of it.

OP: congratulations! :)

Congrats on passing. As mentioned it doesn't matte how many you get you have the same % of passing as others. It just meant the further you go passed 75 the computer is still making a decision
