Nclex shut off at 135 questions

What the number of questions you get means is simply that the computer has determined within a 95% certainty that no matter how many more questions you get, you will pass or fail. The number of a certain type of alternate format questions (liked SATA) is irrelevant because those questions can be written above or below passing standard. Many people leave the exam center convinced they failed only to learn that they did indeed pass. People pass at the minimum number of questions, maximum number of questions, and every number of questions in between. How did you do in school and on exams? That's more likely an indicator of how you did than just feeling like you failed. Before you get so disappointed with yourself, have the official results.

Hi everyone, I just took the Nclex-PN earlier and the computer shut off at 135 questions. I'm so worried, I heard the less question you do are higher the chance of passing. I had over 60 select all that apply, along with some many medications. I know I'm weak at Pharmacology, the main reasons why I did focus on that topic before testing. But the medications I saw today was ridiculous, I have never seen or heard of before. I had no cardiac question, and 1 math problem. Anyways I just know I failed that test. I'm so disappointed with myself! I been studying over 3 hours 5 days a week.
