i know it's been said a thousand times that there is no magic number to let you know if you passed or failed, but it seems to me at 86 i did either really good or really bad right? anyone not pass at 86? i feel like i had a lot of prioritizing and like 5 sata. anyone had a similar experience with this number? im a darn mess :cry:. any comments/shared experience would be much appreciated!!!!

It is really hard to predict. Many pass with any number and you do have a 85% chance of passing which is good.

Good luck

The only thing that you know for sure when it cuts off at a low number, is that you either did really, really good, or really, really bad.

Just keep in mind that pretty much everyone posts that they don't think that they passed.

Mine shut off at 75 ... I felt pretty good while testing because a lot of the subject material was familiar and I felt like I knew the answers, but once you finish and walk out, it's a whole different story! LOL!! I swore I wasn't going to be one of those "OMG, I think I failed!!!" people, but there I was, feeling like that. :D I passed, BTW. So hang in there ... everyone feels like they failed! I was told that, too, but didn't really believe it until I experienced the doubt. To add fuel to my doubt-fire, I also finished in less than an hour, which made things feel worse -- I tend to rush, and I was telling myself (and my husband) that I was going to take my time, la-di-dah ... but there I was, done in about 50 minutes. NOT pleased with myself, but I forgave myself because I passed. :)

People pass and fail at any number ... don't stress yourself out during your waiting period looking at people's posts where they passed or failed at certain numbers (I did this, and it's not good for stress). Get outside, get away from books/computers, treat yourself to something nice ... be good to yourself. :)

WOW... that helped sooo much!! i feel identical to how you felt. i felt like it wasn't too difficult while i was taking it, then when i was done i was like omg i think i got everything wrong. i finished in like an hour and felt like speed racer, just trying to get it done and over with! i have also been addicted to checking the posts of others and comparing passing number of questions!! im not usually a person that doubts myself and now i feel so lousy :crying2:. i think i will take your advice and stay away from the computer until 48 hours when i can check my results. hopefully the ending of my story will be as happy as yours :wink2:. good luck to all those waiting to test or waiting for results... my prayers are with you!

I tested today and it shut off on me after #85. I had a lot of meds, sata, and prioritizing.
