i stopped at 75...help!!

by pashnea

I took nclex last Feb.22,2008.

I know this can be both a good thing or a bad thing...I've heard a stories of people stopping at 75, but failed. I know I have to be optimistic and all...but I cant help it. There's this part of me that says what if...

I applied for California...which means I still have 1 month of agony before I finally get my results.

The agonizing details of the exams wont even give me a single dose of worry-free sleep!

Or maybe I just worry too much...I dont know....

I got 5-6 SATA questions, a few drugs (thank God!)...drugs that Im familiar with, and lots n lots of prioritizing, n infxn control..

My last 5 questions were a bit easy compared to the ones in between. Is this a good sign? Because I think its not. They say u should be happy if u get difficult questions bcuz d level of dificulty increases... So I keep thinking, why do I find the final items easy?
Was it a give-away question?..Or am I just way below the minimum level...

huhuhuhu...waiting sucks! so many things running in my head!!

I tested on 2/9, took 75 questions and passed. I also had easier questions toward the end and left wanting to cry. All my friends felt the exact same way when their tests ended. Unfortunately, I think that feeling awful is normal. Try not to agonize over it, although I do know that waiting is torture. Let us know when you get your results!

I tested on 1/31 and passed after 75 questions. I was sure that I failed the test because the last question was so easy and I got it wrong (I checked the answer when I got home). Everyone I know has taken it and passed with 75 questions. Hang in there, I know it's rough waiting for the results. Just keep thinking positive thoughts.

Unfortunately it is very hard to predict and all you can do is wait for the results.

You are aware that Ca will not issue you with a license until in the US with a valid work permit and have a SSN and with retrogression you are looking at a few years and may have problems as Ca delete your file if you do not provide them with one. Please check out the International forum as much written there about it
