85 questions

Leonardo Del Toro, RN · Apr 12, 2009

It doesn't matter how many questions you answered in the test. It's all about answering the right questions and having a succession of right questions. The software is programed to make a decision whether you have competency or not. This can happen as early as 75 questions and it can take all 265 questions. 75 questions and off only means that you either passed well or you were far from the mark.

When you find out you passed, 85 is a good number!

Another 85-er here:smokin: Just took the test this a.m........... I figure 85 is either a really great thing or a really bad thing - we had taken mock state boards at the end of school, and I did very well on that, with that test cutting off at the minimum as well, so ...... now I have to wait 'til Friday to find out for REAL !!!! :uhoh3:

Oh I can't believe it. Must be something going on, cause I took boards this morning and it shut off for me at 85 too !! I have never yet heard of so many people having this number that it shut off at. Does anyone know any people that it has shut off at 85 recently and they passed?
