Running out of time on nclex clarification. Need 60 in a row correct?

Published

I have been reading in many areas in this site and you need the last 60 questions right IN A ROW? That means that you need 100% on the last 60 questions? Is this correct. I see other people have passed with running out of time. So this means they got all 60 of the last questions correct? Doesn't seem right.

Have you checked the NCSBN website out. As far as I am aware you do not need to get all 60 questions correct when you run out of time, they are assessed in the same way as if you have taken 75 questions (remember 15 are test questions so you are assessed on 60 if you take 75) and the questions are assessed on level.

Concentrate on knowing your material and you won't have to waste your time on this.

NO. They are looking at the last 60 questions to see if you're above the passing standard. You do not need to get them all correct.

This question is probably answered on their website, because it was included in a pamplet they gave us at the test site as we were leaving.

Just took mine and ran out of time at question 225. This is lucky number 3 for me so Im asking NCLEX Santa to get me a "PASS" for Christmas. I'm glad I found other people who ran out of time and passed, and it looks like the 'last 50-60 questions' thing is a myth. Did Kaplan, Herst Review....you name it. Seems subjective.
