Ran out of time, is there penalty?

[Blessed17RN]

Please let me know if there is a penalty if you ran out of time in nclex RN. I had 178 for 6 hours. Nerve wrecking to wait for results.

Please advise someone told me that there's penalty for getting the max 6 hours.

Please help.

Running out of time is not an automatic failure. From the NCSBN Run-out-of-time (R.O.O.T.) Rule:

When you run out of time before reaching the maximum amount of items, the computer has not been able to decide whether you passed or failed with 95% certainty and has to use an alternate rule.

• If you have not answered the minimum amount of items, you fail.
  
• If you have at least answered the minimum amount of items, the computer reviews your last 60 ability estimates:
  
  • If your last 60 ability estimates were above the passing standard, you pass.
    
  • If your ability dropped below the passing standard, even once, during your last 60 items, you fail.
    

This does not mean you must answer the last 60 items correctly. Each ability estimate is based on all the previous items that you have answered.

@ Chare

Thanks for your response, I took my test last Wednesday, no results that has been posted. Tomorrow Monday is the 3rd business day I have to check if there's result.

I had more than 25 sata, 5 ECG, 3 Drag and drop 1 exhibit

I'm praying for a positive result.
