I'm with everyone else. The pattern of questions you described coincides with everyone else lately who has taken the NCLEX, with a shut-off at 75 questions and has passed. It's a wicked test and it's designed that way. The priority questions are the upper level questions and it sounds like you did just fine to me based on what everyone else has described.

Let us know when you receive the good news!

Deep breath............ You did fine. I had the same experience, shut off at 75 and I totally freaked out. Cried all the way home, and comtemplated applying at McDonalds since there was no way I was going to go through that again. Turns out, I passed - SO DID YOU!!!

Just a quick update, I passed...thanks for all the support!!!!

I took mine monday and I got tons of priority questions. I wasn't confident in my answers but came out knowing I did the best I could. I studied my butt off and I knew there was no way I could fail at 75 q's. If I did, I knew it was because of anxiety and not because I was dumb. I found out yesterday I passed with 75 questions!!!

So don't beat yourself up, it will be time wasted!! I know you will post you passed in a couple of days!!!

I passed with 75 too and had tons of priority ones. Don't worry you did fine :hatparty:

WTG!!
:hatparty: :hatparty: :hatparty:

Congratulations! Great job!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ON PASSING THE NCLEX!!!

I am soo dissapointed right now I dont know what to think. I thought I studied hard, but the test was nothing like I though it would be. I had TONS of prioritizing questions (which pt to see first...........) Which Im assuming means that I didnt even get to any upper level questions. Does anyone know if this is true???? I also wasnt even asked anything about disease processes or meds (maybe 3 or 4 Q's)....Plus, I only had one medcalc Q and one select all that apply.

Right now I am completely stunned, I feel like I studied for nothing..... I read over 2000 pages of Saunders and ATI test prep books (out of which only THREE paragraphs were actually devoted to prioroitizing pts!!!!!!!!!) I just dont understand!!!!

Does anyone elese feel like this right now?? Any adivice would help!

Hang in there. I took the test in early July and felt the exact same way. It's out of your hands now. Try to relax and do something for you. More than likely you passed.
