What does it mean when you get cut off after 75 questions on the NCLEX?

It means it did not take long for them to determine whether you passed or failed.

I passed my NCLEX in 75 questions. It doesn’t always mean you failed.

Either you did amazing or you completely bombed the rest.

When I took my test I had been racing my stock car at a big race. I drove to the sight starting out at 1AM, slept 1 hour in the van, and proceeded to test in my racing suit with grease under my nails. I fell asleep 7x and the monitor person kept waking me up. I also got cut off at the minimum # of questions. I was the first one in my class to receive that letter - YOU PASSED. Our valedictorian that year had a 3.25 to my 4.0 but I was giving birth at graduation... She failed as did many of the other upper class mates. Never second guess yourself. You passed. Great luck to you in this wonderful field of changing lives through health care.

It means one of two things.
#1. You were an extremely good test taker who was confident and relaxed; you knew the material, backwards and forwards
OR
#2. You were not a very good test taker who was nervous and afraid; you were not able to recall the material that you needed to give correct answers.

I had several classmates who only had to answer 75 questions for their NCLEX and they all passed. I have heard that those who fail seem to do so after answering more than 100 questions.
