I took my nclex on Sept. 24th and I ran out of time after completing 200+ questions. I felt like it was a nightmare and walked out of the room as if I failed. And I remember getting a lot of SATA questions after I completed the 200 mark. I did over 1400 Kaplan questions, reviewed the decision tree, and reviewed Saunders questions as well. I wanted to try the PVT but, heard its less reliable these days. So, I don't want to check and become more anxious if I get the incorrect popup. I keep praying while I patiently wait for my results.

A poll is useless in this situation. It doesn't matter whether anyone ELSE failed or passed after running out of time; it has zero bearing on how YOU did. People pass. People fail. YOU are your own story.

In order to have passed, you needed to keep above the passing standard for the last 60 questions answered. If you did this....you passed. If you fell below the passing standard at any point during those 60 questions....you failed.

SATA means nothing; it is an alternate format of question, just like drag/drop and multiple choice.

Good luck!
