The last 60 quest

When did you took your nclex exam? I took mine last Aug. 13th with 236 questions and ran out of time too. Please pray for me!

There are about 10,000 RN NCLEX questions in the database.

Think of each one as being ranked on a number line, easiest to hardest. They are.

For each question you get right, the next is more difficult. For each you get wrong, the next question is less difficult.

Passing is ending the test at a more difficult level than the minimum score.

IF ALL of the last 60 questions are above that minimum level, you pass. You can still miss, but, when you do, the next lower question can't take you below the minimum passing difficulty level, at any point, in the last 60, or, you fail.

The test actually tests two things: your level of difficulty, and the confidence at which the computer can ascertain that. Some people are just erratic enough (NERVES!) that the computer can't peg them. Just because the computer didn't stop DOESN'T mean that you were 'borderline'. You could have been above the passing standard, with lots of room to give, or below.

I read somewhere and have linked multiple times in different threads, that odds of passing if the test stops is just below 50%. So, you DO have nearly a 50-50 chance of passing; more than enough to keep your hopes up.

Good luck.
