I took the certification exam today- yikes!

i'm sorry if this is a dumb question.. is this for your CRNA? well i hope you passed.. and please keep me posted...

I don't personally know of anyone who has failed after only 100 questions, but for sure it has happened, though I doubt its a common occurrence.

I felt the same way you did after taking just a 100 questions, all my classmates I've talked to said the same thing too. You expect it to be like a lot of the other tests you've taken, where if you study for 2 months, you will go in and nail every question. But I think because of the computer adaptive nature of the test, the more prepared you are, the tougher the test will be. A lot of very well prepared SRNAs walk out of that thing wondering if they passed or not, me included.

I cannot understand why they won't tell you immediately whether you passed or failed when the computer shuts off at 100. Obviously the computer knows for sure that you don't need 70 more questions, it should be easy enough to let the person know why so that they don't suffer through the next few weeks just wondering how they did.

At Valley review they estimated that if you received the minimum number of questions, it is a approx 95% probability that you passed.

CONGRATS!!!! Can't wait to be in your shoes one day

blueriley, I saw on a different thread you went to U. of S. Carolina, I interview there on the 29th any tips for the interview? What do they focus on during it? Did you like the program and was it a good experience? Thanks in advance for any info. And congrats on passing.

Congratulations on passing. I hope to be where you are at someday. All your hard work paid off. Congrats again.

Congrats and welcome to the CRNA club!!
