I did it today and I only had 75 questions. I had a lot of the SATA, which I suck at everytime I practice Kaplan, not so on Hurst. I found the test to be hard, so I got to 75 and when clicked next that was it.....so I think I didn't make it:bluecry1:

Normal to come out of the test feeling like you do. Hang in there and wait for your results. Good luck

Please stay positive and don't assume the worse. I myself did not pass at 75 however, many of my friends passed with 75 so you never know. I have heard having a lot of SATA is a good sign but again you never can tell. The test is very unpredictable, but just think positive and if you don't get the results you are looking for just take some time off and get back into studying. You said you studied Hurst and Kaplan? Which did you like best?
I think Kaplan is the best, it is the closer thing to the Nclex, and it is hard too. It is not the end of the world, I just have to get up and go on.

I am with you all...took mine before the holiday and still feel like I failed. It is frustrating that all these years, and 1 exam tells it all....you are given 6 hours to show what you know from 2-4 years of school!
I ams taying positive, the worse is to re-take.
Good luck to you...stay positive!:loveya:
That's what my friends say too. But you never know, and I don't know what to think, they asked me about meds I did not know, and the SATA were like 10 or more maybe, I think those are the ones that will put me below the line

I think the same too. How can they figure out if you are competent or not just out of one test, doesn't make sense to me.
I wanna be positive, but I don't want to think I passed then find out I failed.
This is the same I experienced when I did the PN Nclex, and I passed at 85 questions.
What do I do in order NOT to think about the results, these are very stressful 48 hours:eek:
Well my boyfriend and i went shopping, watched movies, visited friends and family i had neglected all through nursing school. It's very hard to keep your mind off the results but they will soon come. So try not to stress too much. I even went to bed early the night before i knew the results would post. However, that didn't work i seen every hour on the clock. Needless to say i didn't get the results i wanted, but everything happens for a reason.
So to be real there's not a lot you can do but wait it out. But Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True, I wish they change the system for a inmediate result instead of waiting...

I took mine today and it shut off at 75 as well. I also had a ton of SATA questions. In all my practice tests I never did very well on the SATA format questions. When I clicked next and it shut off tears actually welled up in my eyes but then I think...I don't think that I bombed so badly that it would kick me out after only 75 questions. I mean everything wasn't greek. I did know some of the stuff on the test. The LONGEST 48 hrs of my life....off to the gym to kill some time with sweating
