I hear you...I stopped at 85 as well, and while I do strongly believe that I got more right than wrong, it really didn't matter to me, except that I passed and did not have to experience that nightmare ever again. Yes, if it shut down at 85, it means that the computer was able to determine that you either had it or you didn't. I was VERY afraid when it shut down at 85, because somehow, I envisioned in my head that I would at least get 100 questions. Plus, when I practiced questions, I would do 100 at a time and take breaks. I found that I would get about 15 or 20 incorrect when I did 100 questions of various subjects. I just 'knew' that if I had that magic 100 questions, then it would be a sure thing that I passed, but, did NOT know how to handle the computer shutting down at 85 (that wasn't in my "master plan"...how presumptive I was...)
Pancitang, hopefully, you will receive your passing results shortly, and can put this behind you. And, I wish you the very best!
