Took nclex this morning. :(

Published

So I took my exam this morning. I had 265 questions and im almost certain I got the last question wrong!! I didnt know the answer and I guessed at it, and came home and looked it up and pretty sure I got it wrong. I have heard that if you get all questions and get the last one wrong, you fail. Has anyone else heard this? Oh and I did the PVT and got the good pop up, but im having a really hard time trusting it right now :(

If you got the Pop up you passed!! It doesn't matter if you get the last question right or wrong, it just matters if it is an above passing level question. So if it was an above passing questions, even if you got it wrong you still pass. If you are getting the good pop up I would start celebrating!!!

Have you heard of any case where someone got the good pop up and then it changed to the cc page? I wish i could find out my results now but since its saturday i dont think I will get them until monday or tuesday!

I never have heard of that. I think it's 99.99999% safe to say that you passed!

You passed!

What field do you want to work in nursejess?

Thanks guys! I love ob nursing but I want to try to start off in medsurg to get some experience. I will take any job that gets offered to me though! I know jobs are hard to come by! ughhh i wont be able to celebrate until I know for sure that I passed!

The same exact thing for me. 265 questions, a ton of SATA, med calculations, and pharm. I have been getting the "good" pop up since I took it on Wednesday. I want to believe it means I passed, but I'm still so nervous. I've only ever been told that 265 is bad! Ugh...this is worse than waiting to see if I got accepted to nursing school! And I didn't think anything would be worse than that wait!

If you got the Pop up you passed!! It doesn't matter if you get the last question right or wrong, it just matters if it is an above passing level question. So if it was an above passing questions, even if you got it wrong you still pass. If you are getting the good pop up I would start celebrating!!!

I was told by Kaplan that when you get 265 questions that you can pass or fail based on the 265th question. That in order to pass it HAS to be a "passing level" question and you HAVE to get it RIGHT (in order to pass) and at this point the rest of the exam does not matter it is based solely on this last question. If it is NOT a passing level question and you still get it right, you fail.

So I took my exam this morning. I had 265 questions and im almost certain I got the last question wrong!! I didnt know the answer and I guessed at it, and came home and looked it up and pretty sure I got it wrong. I have heard that if you get all questions and get the last one wrong, you fail.

Did you make sure your status said 'delivery successful' ? some people have tried and got the good pop up and later tried and got the cc page b/c they did not wait for it to say delivery successful.

Yes it says delivery successful. I have tried it over and over and keep getting the same pop up

Then calm your nerves! You passed! I was the same way, checked mine OVER and OVER again up until I got my results, literally! Congrats :)

Having the last question wrong doesn't mean you fail,same applies to the opposite..remember there are 15 item pilot question which are not counted so who knows maybe your last one was a pilot Qs. If the PVT give you a good pop up. Accompanying delivery successful I will hold to that for now.same as you got the good pop up but won't open my beers till my result. I'm a believer of pvt trick but when it comes to my self there's a side of me that o don't want it to be a trick. I want the proof. Hopefully on Monday will find out. Best of luck mate. Joe
