LOL OLD GUY HERE .. not exactly relevant but history
... we used to have to spend 2.5 days filling in bubbles on paper with 2,000 of your new best friend. Consisted of 5 exams but one was for test and did not count in your scoring. Each section took 2.5 hours. Proctors all over the place.
had to get 350 to pass except NY who required 500 on each section (A 500 score was known as nationals meaning you could be licensed in any state without restriction if you applied.
No one wanted to retake that set because you had to wait 3 months of the next board test session.
You could get a temp license and work until you failed the 3rd time then started over.
I passed on the first go round. 4 well over 500 and one at 350 ... of course the area I am now best in is the 350 I had to fix my deficits.!
Just one time for me. 75 questions.
Took it twice… 85 the first time, 265 the second time… both extremes experienced
Back in the days of dinosaurs. We had 5 tests over 2 days. It would have been nice to take 1 test. Anyway passed all 5 tests on the first attempt.
Just once, but don’t ask me how many questions. I took boards Aug 11, gave birth to our first child Aug 16, found out I’d passed Aug 21. Kind of a whirlwind time!
One time 85 questions
I took the NCLEX once. I wasn't too sure that I had passed it (on the day that I took it) so it made for a couple of nerve-wracking days.

Once.
Once for each of LVN and RN. both times the computer shut off at like 70 or some really odd LOW number and so I thought that I had gotten ALL of them wrong because it couldn't possibly be that I had already got enough correct answers with the amount of questions we were supposed to be able to getLOL
