Second try. 31 SATA questions , cut off at 75 questions

Published

Just took the nclex yesterday and I had 31 select all that apply.... yes I said it right, 31!!!! Is that even allowed! Lol complete torture!

Has anyone had this happen to them before . My test cut off at 75 questions . This was my second try taking the nclex. Last attempt I failed with 265 questions and all subjects "near passing" I'm so nervous, to find out I failed again. I have put my heart and soul into studying for it, please help. I just want to hear about someone having a similar experience to mine and passed.

My thought process -

31 SATA questions- good sign bc it COULD mean that I am in the hard level questions but then I keep reading about how people say that it doesn't matter the type of questions you get, you just have to answer correctly 50% of the time. Could I have answered 38 questions out of 75 questions correctly ? Considering that I had 31 SATA questions. I hardly doubt it !!!!

cut off at 75? I'm thinkig : it can sometimes be a good sign bc I read somewhere that 85% of the people that get cut off at 75 pass, someone has to really score poorly to get cut off at 75 . plus I feel like 70% confident about the material I got tested on .

can nclex really pinpoint your weakness that good and literally your whole test be based on that ? It's a scary thought to have .

this is really frustrating for me and anxiety is really getting the best of me while I wait the 48 hrs for results . If I fail I'm really gonna start doubting that I'll ever pass the nclex with that amount of select all that apply questions . Giving up is never an option for me but COME ON PEOPLE !!!!! 31 questions of pure torture !!!

Hi All, i took the NCLEX today (4th time).. i felt much more prepared this time using uworld. I was stopped at 84 questions. Had 20 SATA and a whole lot of priority. 2 math and 2 or 3 drag and drop. I felt i did much better than other time but when i took the PVT its giving me the bad pop up :-( i don't know what to do anymore.

Well I don't mean this in a harsh way but if by the bad pop up you mean you're getting the credit card declined notice, then there's nothing to do but accept that you probably didn't pass. Dust your self off and start studying again.

How did you receive your ATT so quickly so you were able to test again?
