So i took the NCLEX today...i had WAY too many SATAs and i have heard that they are the harder end of the questions but i did not feel too confident. It seemed like the questions did not get any easier throughout the entire exam. i only had one calculation, a ton of pharm...uggh. Well, i got to 75 and in a way, i was hoping the exam would shut off but on the other hand, i thought maybe that would not be good because it was possibel i did SO badly on the first 75 questions that they knew to fail me right off the bat . Well, it didnt stop at 75 and when i saw 76 i was really excited because i knew the program had not come to a 95% certainty on whether or not i had passed it but i was sure i would have to get the majority of the harder questions correct from that point forward...well, the 76th question was something about anemia and i KNOW i got that correct (i even went home and looked it up after the exam!) and then they gave me 77...a mental health question about a personality disorder- i had actually studied that topic specifically and the question was, "What would the nurse do FIRST" ones. (I also looked that one up when i got home and got it correct also)...then the exam shut off...im a nervous wreck. i originally thought i failed but then maybe not? Does anyone have any feedback- i would love to hear thoughts!!

Re: What happens if the NCLEX stops at 77 questions?!

Hopefully you got quick results in your state, so you won't be anxious too long. But sounds like the type of questions I had on my nclex and I passed. So good luck!
