Took my Nclex PN, stopped at 85, help!!!!

Published

Ok, so I took the nclex pn at 8am this morning and I'm freaking out!!!! I've tried to be calm all day, everyone says, "oh you passed, you stopped at 85!" But gosh, I know the test is not measured by how many questions you get, right? Has anyone else stopped at 85 and passed/failed? I'm afraid to try the PVT because who wants to gamble $200! Advice...words of wisdom...anything? Thanks! This is my first post btw!

People have passed and failed at 85. There's no way to predict based upon number or type of questions

And unless you know for certain that you did pass you can't use "nurse" in your user name here.

You can either pass or fail no matter the number of questions. I passed with 85. Whatever you do, do not do the trick. In many states you can get quick results in 48 hours and if your state also uses Nursys, you can go to their website and put in your name and see if there is a license number. Though that may not show up until about the 48 hour mark too.

Have you received your license? If not, to use nurse in your username violates ToS. If so, congrats....it wasn't a matter of not being nice, but being factual
