The type of question is irrelevant, as questions of all types are written both above and below passing standard. What the test shutting off at 75 means is that within a 95% confidence level, you demonstrated minimum competency or failed to demonstrate minimum competency regardless of how many more questions you would have been given.
(@optimism08) Thank you very much! I used Hurst Review, but I watched all the videos first while I filled out the booklet that comes with the review. It gave me a strong foundation of all the need-to-know basics of everything med-surg. After that, I made my own notes of the booklet to commit them to memory. I also used a bit of Saunders and purchased the NCLEX Mastery app. I highly recommend that app. I truly believe it helped me to pass!
Good luck to you! :-)
I had the same feeling as you. Like testing and I dunno if my answer choices are right and it shut off at 75. I was like gimme more question so I could pass!
Sata popped in often and I maybe had like less than 10. Got used to sata showing up from time to time answering uworld. Few drag and drop and computation.
Went home thinking I didn't passed. But I did and saw my name on the boards rn roster this morning.

I felt like the SATA questions were fairly easy... The test shut off at 75 questions. Is this a sign that I failed? I had such a hard time focusing because I felt like I really didn't know the answer to majority of the questions, even after Hurst Review!
