Did anyone else WANT their computer to keep going?

Mine stopped at around 83-86 (not sure), but I was pleased to see that I was still going after 75 because I wasn't feeling like I was doing my best (I felt like I was bombing even though I was thinking hard) and was happy that the computer decided to give me more chances to prove myself. Well when it shut off, it shut off at question I was unsure of and kind of guessed my way through. I was so upset and was sure I had just failed, like because I had gotten it wrong it was the test's way of saying, "oh yeah she doesn't know her stuff, that just confirms it. End test."

I know whether or not you get the last one wrong has no bearing on pass or fail, but it FEELS like it, especially on a test that measures how far above or below the line you are.

Anyway, I did pass, but I felt like crap afterward and wish I could have ended on a higher note. Anyone else pleased when you got more questions?

That is exactly the same feelings I had today!! I felt like omg I know Im not answering all these right and theres noway Im going to pass, after 75 I was shocked but ok to continue to keep going for a second chance then at 85 it shut off!!! I was so mad.. and felt well i missed so many that its game over.... :( i hope I passed.. i did the pop up and its good. but I dont believe it..

Mine shut off at 75, I wanted to cry! I was holding in my tears when I got up and walked out !! I did want more questions because I felt like I was doing terrible! With 75 questions you either did Good or you did Bad! So this is why I wanted more questions because that meant I was still in the ball game! So you are not the only one who feels this way!

I find out my results tomorrow!

In a way I did, but when I went the test continued after I finished question 75 my heart definitely sank a little! The greatest feeling though was when the question shut off at question 76!

I wanted the computer to continue as well. I had to go to the bathroom at around question 62. When I got back I was ready for more questions, but I didn't want more than 100. Anyway the computer shut off at 75 and I turned around and looked at the lady monitoring us with my eyes bucked thinking to myself NOOOOOOOO, just a few more please. On my way home I had to pull over to check the pearson vue site because it was killing me not knowing. I got the good pop up and nearly cried tears of joy. I'm hoping this "trick" is accurate.

Exactly what happened to me. I was sick to my stomach. Stopped at 75 questions. i got the good pop up. My thoughts are I was stressed out over this?
