Oh my God!!! I am so upset with myself. I just took the NCLEX-RN today and it stopped at 76. I'm not worried about the number of questions I got because the postings on here convinced me that the number of questions you got have no bearing on your result. BUT!!! And I do mean a BIG BUT!!! Toward the end of the 76 questions, I got a math question. I had a lot of math practice while I was studying and felt very confident going into the exam. But for some reason I froze at converting mcg to mg. I know, bone head mistake. I was getting some weird number like 24,863mg/min. I know, didn't make sense. I was seriously stuck on that question for good 7-8 minutes. I knew for sure I got it wrong. I memorized the questions and solved it when I got home.
My question is, since I know I got that wrong, the exam stopped at 76(without giving me an opportunity to redeem myself) is that a good indicator I failed. I think I read some where on a thread that Math questions were considered easy level questions.
I was so upset with myself after that question, I was begging the exam to give me another math question.

Are math questions really considered easy level questions? because I got about 6 calculations, which I know I only got like 1 right and the comp shut off at 94.
SMTTTTTTTTTTTTT, well now I know I really did not pass. This is my 2nd time. The 1st time I got all 265 questions now this time the comp shut off at 94.
You just can not predict with this exam, wait for results before deciding what to do next. Good luck
Your story gives me some courage! I got 102 questions, two of them being math questions. ONE was the same thing, mcg to mg and the answer was supposed to be ml/hr. I know for a fact I got it wrong! I have one more day of waiting and it's killing me!
