Hello Everyone:

I just took exam this afternoon and I honestly don't know what to think, BUT I am trying to be positive.

I had a ton of priority, a few med calcs and some SATA....then poof - OFF @ 76 questions :uhoh3: !!!!!!!

I was reading some previous posts about whether or not the last question matters, but I kind of think this issue applies to me....it just seems like at #75 I was or was not at minimum competency, but #76 made the final determination...does this make sense to anyone or am I thinking too much into it???

I guess a more appropriate question would be has anyone PASSED with 76 questions??????

Well off to the WAITING GAME.... GL to those who have tested and are waiting and to those who will be testing in the near future!!!!!

unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many questions you get. you can pass or fail at 75 - 265 questions. its a computer adaptive test. when it knows that you will pass the examination at whatever # no matter what, that's when it will shut off. good luck.
