Stressful day!! Drove 2.5 hours to take NCLEX. Got all 265 questions! I think this is a bad sign! I was the last NCLEX tester to finish. All others passed with fewer questions. I studied SOOO hard! I have a job waiting on me to start March 1. Most of my nursing friends state they passed at 75-80 questions. If the test is generated by your knowledge skills - my skills must be lacking if I had all 265 questions! Trying to brace myself for bad news.
Any one experience that same thing lately and PASSed?
Worried and Sad in Carolina.

A good friend of mine graduated in December and got all 265 and passed. A few of my classmates got 265, too, and passed. Do your best to not worry until you get the results, since worrying really isn't going to change the results. Got my fingers crossed for you! Good luck!

I can think of at least 3 people I work with who had all 265 and passed. I heard something like 1/4 always get 265.

One of my instructors told us she had all 265 and passed. A nursing school friend of mine who has graduated told me that the occasional random person will get all 265, even if that person could've passed with far fewer -- don't know how true that is, but it sounds good!
Best of luck!

Just think positive....I have my fingers crossed for you as well. I am taking mines on friday and I am out of my mind. I have stopped studying because at this time everything is a blurrrrrrrrrrr to me. I was told that this is normal. All that matter was that you gave it your best shot.

Good luck and you can pass with any number from 75 to 265 and many members have passed with 265
