I think I got the last question wrong and now I am starting to think I failed

Published

:stone :stone :stone I hate this waiting for results, I just took the test Tuesday and shut off at 75 questions. I don't think I had answered the last question right now or does that matter. I felt good about the test but now I have these thoughts that maybe I failed...Make it go away...lol....:scrying: :confused:

I think at 75 getting the last one wrong can go either way. It could be that you got them all right before then and had answered enough of the high level questions to pass- of course it could be the other way too- just sit tight- try not to make yourself crazy.:smilecoffeecup:

Someone told me they look at your last ? if you had all 265. If you got it right you pass, if not you fail??? That doesnt seem to be fair to me...

That isn't true.

The ONLY time they look at a specific amount of questions is if you run out of time before you finish the test. Then, they look at just the last 60 questions.

They look at all your questions, regardless of how many you have, as long has you are within the allotted time frame of 6 hours.

The minimum number of questions is 75, so you can miss the last and still pass. Suppose you got the prior 74 right and missed just the last one.

It's a dreadful test and it's hard to feel good about it. Good luck.

the last question wil not decide whether you pass or fail. just relax and dont worry too much. enjoy the wait. the result will come whether u want it or not, the score is already been generated once the computer stops. worrying will not change the answers or will make your score better. it is done and u did ur best. congratulate yourself, and with months of reviewing and secluding yourself from outside world, it is now time to relax, the test is over, go out and enjoy the last days/weeks of winter...and whatever the result is, accept it.

goodluck to you and to all of us...hope the test went out well... believe that u pass...positive thinking -->tho doesnt work 100% but it will make you feel better 100%. winks...
