just took the nclex this morning. and it stopped at 205 questions after 4hrs. gosh, the questions were really tough. i hope i can make it. btw, is the max number of questions 205 or 265? i read in another thread that someone else's stopped at 265.

here's one advice- study those labs and know if you where to be asked a priority question keep in mind what would that be. You might have shift change questions where who would you check on first. Best of luck to you

after getting feedbacks from friends who took the test earlier, i was surprised that mine came out difficult. the first 80 questions were really tough i thought that the computer would stop at 85. but when it reached 100, i was relieved a bit till it stopped at 205.

still have a great chance at passing. People still pass at 205. So keep positive heads up. If worse gets to worse and you don't pass then do not give up. Rest your mind a couple days then start applying again and setting up a test date and we are all her to help you and give you advice cause there are lots of us who have taking it again. Me! I know what it is to do that, def. Yeah, it was dissapointing to find out I did not pass the first time. But cooled off a couple or so days to get things straightend up and then go at it again. Then before you know it you are taking it again. But for now chin and head up for the best. Take care!

The number of questions is only the number of questions.

That's what I hate about the current way they do NCLEX, you were hung up on the number of questions and that was very distracting and discouraging during the test.
