My last two NCLEX questions were the same...and then it shut off

[rainbowbright2]

after 75 questions. The question was a "select all that apply". It was the exact same question for 74 and 75 except the options were rearraged. (I ended up changing my answer for question number 75 and then it shut off!) Is that a big sign that I flunked?

I remembered many of the questions and looked them up. I can think of 36 that I got right and remember about 15 that I looked up and got wrong. I'm so upset. But what do you think about questoin 74 and 75 being identical?

Two of my SATA questions were identical too. Mine shut off at 75 and I passed. It makes no difference whether you answered those questions right or wrong and I wouldn't stress yourself out by lookin up the answers to the questions. The NCLEX is the type of exam where you will feel bad when you leave no matter what as it is made so that both those that pass and those who fail miss about 50% of the questions. The only difference is that those who pass stayed above the level of passing whereas those who failed did not.

My understanding is that the computer adapts the questioning so that by the end, the difficulty will be that you are answering 50% of the questions correctly. It then looks at the level of difficulty (and not the number you answer correctly) to determine whether it is above or below the passing level.

So if you remember answering 36 out of about 50 correctly, then I'm pegging it at there's a good chance ya passed. :)

I am amazed you can remember your questions enough to look them up LOL!!!!
