I only know 3-4 questions that I am sure I got right.. the math ones! i'm praying.. but i think it would take a miracle for me to have passed that exam.. wahhhhhhh
this may not sound too good but i took the nclex rn last month and had used saunders' 3rd edition for most of my review(a mistake cos this is an outdated version).i knew i was failing as i was sitting behind that computer.to add to that, i went to nursing school in england,uk so was not very familiar with US style of nursing.the computer shut off at 75, i knew i had failed, went home and told everyone who cared to listen that i wasnt gonna stop studying cos i had not passed.i was right, i didnt pass, am still studying with a private tutor (cost 175 for 18hrs) and using the cram review book and cd.
saying that, i hope you passed and by no means intend to make you feel any worse than you already are ,just telling you what can happen when the computer stops at 75 qs . most people who pass feel as though they failed but if you are not doing as well as you should, you can tell too.
i m sorry if this comes across as a bit blunt.
