The NCLEX-RN uses a computerized adaptive testing format where the number of questions can range from 75 to 265. The test stops when it determines with 95% confidence that a candidate is either above or below the passing standard. Receiving only 75 questions does not guarantee a pass or fail; it means the computer has made a determination, but both outcomes are possible.
