I just learned today that 1 out of every 16 applicants will automatically recieve 265 questions, no matter how good or bad you are doing on the test. Don't worry if you don't get the 75 that your classmates got........:twocents:

I guess I must have been the lucky one to have received 265 questions then! I passed though...but to have that many questions made me feel like I was going to fail!!!

I had 265 questions and I heard the same story except it was one out of 20. I later found out that it's an old wives tale. We had 265 questions because the CAT needed that many questions to determine whether we passed or failed.

okay..i also got 265 questions. but i failed. guess they used me for their new exam questions. what bothers me is the progress note they send me..in every topic i've got this 'near the passing standard' result. what does it mean? now i dunno which one is my weakest :(

If you got 'near passing standard' on all then you was very close, Just practice as many questions as you can and make sure you understand the rationale to the ones you get wrong
