Hello guys! My computer went off with 221 questions. I was planning to take a few minutes break after 225 but my computer went blue! LOL I thought, I would go up until 265 questions.

I've had 2 Calculations, maybe 5-6 medications (what med needs to be administered first, kind of question) Lots of SATA, as in!! lots of Prioritization!! About 10 Drag and drop questions, 6-8 Exhibits and about 4 questions with images? LOL

What if I got the last question right? Is there a chance that I would pass the exam? The question was; which action would cause the Nurse to intervene? (I'm not going to state the details here, of course) I have checked about it, and I think I've got the last question right. HOPEFULLY. Will the last question affect my result? ??

What was your last question like? SATA, Drag and drop, calculation or Prioritization, exhibit or style question? Did anyone pass with the same level of difficulty type of question as mine?

I'm not going to check for my quick result for I am scared. LOL I am gonna wait for 2 more days to check my unofficial result, do I need to pay the $7.95 even if I've waited for 48+ hours?

Please help! Thank you in advance.

I'm just a bit scared and positive. Ambivalent, indeed! God bless us all!! ??

You can't get the quick results until 48 hours have passed and the cost is always $7.95 online.

I'm in Texas. I had the same type, multiple choice. How many items did you have? Congratulations! Thank you.

I had 265..I really thought I failed. I got like 2 med, 1 EKG, 2 Pictures, maybe like 4 drag and drop, a ton of SATA, and a ton of priority. Does Texas post your license # quick?

I hope everything goes well for you

The fact that you went 221 questions indicates to me that you were at or near passing standard for the majority of your exam. As we know, once you get the point where the computer shuts off, it has decided conclusively that you have either asked or failed based on the previous 60 questions. You could try the PVT however it is not exactly 100% accurate. There are occasional false positives and negatives with that "trick" and the "quick results" are a lot more accurate but you need to wait that 48 hours and you always have to pay that $7.95 for those results, if your state participates.

While I certainly hope you have passed, right now it does you no good to stress out about the result because that will not change regardless of how much you worry and stress out about it. So go ahead and relax a bit and when you feel ready to check whether or not you passed or failed, go for it!

Yep, I'm planning to check for the unofficial result after 48 hours. Thank you very much!!
