   SaraB replied to jlp2778's topic in NCLEX

   So I took the test 7/11. Is it a bad sign if you think the test wasn't so hard and you felt like you weren't guessing on most questions?? Maybe I'm TOO confident, but I was expecting the test to shut off at 75. It ended up going all the way to 221...

11. Chemistry??
