What # of questions did u pass the NCLEX with?

Published

HI, I took the NCLEX yesterday and think I failed. The computer stopped at 105 or 106 questions and I felt it was pretty hard. I came home and looked up some of the "easy" questions I remembered and got them wrong. Just wondering cause everyone seems to pass with 75 or 265 questions.

Teresa

I passed with 75 questions, but a friend of mine passed with 85. I am sure it was just a case where you needed to answer a few more questions in order to meet minimum competency.

Sara

Definitely. I passed with 75 questions; my sister passed two years ago with 85 questions.

Sending positive nclex energy your way!

Live, laugh, love,

Wee Hoo, I passed with 75, have several friends that passed with 265, a couple that passed with 130 (or so) and more often than not passed with 75!!! So happy that it's over.

I took mine today and feel soooo scared. I felt like I was dumb sitting in that room with my mind blank. I hope I passed. It cut off at 75.

While we're on the subject, just a friendly reminder from your moderator:

While many people obsess about the number of questions they received on the NCLEX, especially while waiting for results, the number of questions does not tell you whether you passed or failed.

you already know your results? i hear people talking about it taking 3-4 weeks to get results through the mail. did you do the quick results where you pay extra or check with the bne website to find your lic. number?

p.s... took it today, test cut off at 75 question (took about an hour for the test)

since i tested last thursday (the end of the work week), i knew i would pay for the quick results (i'm in florida, which is a quick resutls state). some nurses on my unit who tested at the beginning of the week found out through the florida bon webpage that they had passed 2 days later without having to pay for quick results. i am so glad i didn't wait, because although i found out that i passed saturday morning (exactly 48 hours to the minute i finished my exam), my license number was not released until yesterday (tuesday) and i know my husband would not have survived if i had to wait any longer! :eek: :chuckle good luck!
