I had 75 questions and it took me a little over an hour to take.
I actually didn't think it was *that* bad. I came away from the test feeling pretty confident that I passed! I will find out Wednesday and let you all know. I know that I did everything I could to prepare for the exam and I didn't find it to be especially difficult....at least no more difficult than all the practice questions that I did. Yes there were questions that I had to guess at.
I had virtually all priority, infection control, select all that apply, and drugs. No dosage calc and no other alternate type questions.
I did the Saunders CD (LOTS of questions and read every rationale!). I think if you have a good knowledge base and some good test taking strategies you will do great!!

Sarah,
If you go to this link: https://allnurses.com/forums/f197/post-med-you-seen-tv-today-314848.html. You can learn more about the meds that have been seen on tv. Good luck when you take the NCLEX in 2 days. I recently just passed the NCLEX and I recommend that you don't study the day before but instead do something fun and relaxing like movie, lunch, or spa day.
