📘 *How Is the NCLEX Scored? | NCLEX Score Explained Simply*

Are you confused about how the NCLEX determines whether you pass or fail? In this video, I explain the NCLEX scoring system in a simple, beginner-friendly way.

You’ll learn:

✅ How Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) works
✅ What the NCLEX passing standard means
✅ Why NCLEX is NOT based on a simple percentage score
✅ What it means if your exam stops at 85 questions
✅ What it means if you reach 150 questions
✅ How the 95% confidence rule works
✅ How your nursing ability estimate changes during the exam
✅ How Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) partial credit works
✅ Why you should focus on safety, priority, and clinical judgment instead of counting correct answers

Remember:

*85 questions does NOT automatically mean PASS.*
*150 questions does NOT automatically mean FAIL.*

The NCLEX is designed to determine whether you demonstrate the nursing judgment and ability needed to practice safely as an entry-level nurse.
