run out of time at 257, what are my chances??

Published

took nclex this morning and i run out of time stopped at 257.. i have tons of select all, prioritization and charts. all the way to the last 60 questions i have been given a lot of select all alternating with prioritization and some basic knowledge...i know there's know way to tell right now if i fail or pass, and no way to gauge if I'm getting high level questions. just want to know what you guys think if ever had a similar experience as me. thanks guys

I know if you run out of time they gauge the last 60 questions and all of them have to be above the line. If you had a rough run and went one question below, it is considered a fail, even if you bounce back. Pray and relax, more than 80% of test takers pass and you can't find those odds anywhere.

Hey, This also happened to me but i got to 224 and ran out of time. I did not pass, but i have herd of a few who this did happen to and they did pass. As long as your last 60 questions were above the passing line you will pass. I think is a crummy rule but even running out of time and not passing is to me is not considered a real fail. Im praying you passed after all that hard work!

If you run out of time, they only evaluate the last 60 questions you answered. All 60 must be above the passing line in order to pass.

Here's a great video from NCBSN that explains how this works: https://www.ncsbn.org/5912.htm
