I took it in April, 1999. Our school gave us practice tests all the way through our program. So when I took the NCLEX I had to keep reminding myself this was the real thing. I was so used to the format and the computer, it didn't seem real.
I had heard if the test shuts off at 75 you either passed or there was no chance for you to pass. I thought the test was easy so when it didn't shut off at 75 questions I groaned! It shut off after 76 questions! And I passed.
