PAX Test locked Up During Testing (anyone else?)

[am0s]

I was in the middle (well, actually the end) of taking my PAX RN exam for the first time yesterday when all of a sudden, it locked up. I was in the last section, Science- question #47, with 30 minutes left. The proctor tried to get my test to reopen for me, but it said it was expired. She told me not to worry and that this had happened before. All she had to do was contact NLN and within 24-48 hours they would hopefully respond and unlock my test so I could finish it at a later date. Apparently I won't have to take the entire thing over again which is FANTASTIC! However, I am completely frustrated.

I had been expecting all of this test anxiety to be over last night. I go on my honeymoon this weekend and was really looking forward to the test being behind me. I have been studying intensely for a month. I was so nervous during the test yesterday, and now it's like I am completely STUCK in test-taking mode.

I went in feeling confident and prepared, but now I am pretty discouraged after completing most of the test. I feel OK about how I did on the Math and Reading portions, although I had run out of time so had to guess on some questions at the last minute. But the Science had me floored! I mean, what the heck? How are people supposed to know all that, and where the heck do you even get that information? It's not in the guide! So I guess there is a positive side to all of this. At least it will give me a chance to brush up on all this science that I have no clue on before I finish the last 30 minutes of the science portion.

Has this happened to anyone else? Where you able to finish no problem and did you lose any time? I hope they didn't take away any of my minutes on the clock because those are precious to me!!

Sorry for the long vent, but for some reason I am really bothered by this and my anxiety is through the roof. Thanks in advance for your replies. :)
