For those of you who have had your tests shut off at 75 questions, how did that make you feel? Did you feel confident that you passed or sure you failed? And what happened when you found out for sure?

I begged my computer to come back on, and tried the PVT and got the good pop-up but am still waiting for quick results. It really scared me though for it to shut off so early. I thought wow, did I really do that bad? Can't I do just a couple more questions to prove myself? I will do better I swear.

This waiting game is almost worse than the test itself...

I felt exactly the same way when mine shut off at 75 and you're right, the waiting sucks! I was hoping maybe my license number would be up this morning but no such luck :( Guess I have to wait for quick results tomorrow and pray the PVT is correct in the meantime.

Yes wanted to die when it shut of at 75! Really thought oh my god I bombed it that bad lol! Had what seemed to be a lot of SATA and priority Q but once I finished its been nothing but a big blur. People asked me what my 1st question was...I'm like I don't know lol!! Anyways feels good to have that over with!!!

I don't know what my first or even my last questions were. I wasn't expecting the computer to shut off so I just answered and moved on looking for the next one LOL.

I know right!!!!

I took my test yesterday too. Think I'm the first one in my graduating class to take it bc I got TONS of FB inboxes asking for advice, but I could remember nothing about the test! Lol. I wondered if my friends thought I was lying but I was just breezing through questions praying it ended soon lol.

My instructors said if you get 75 questions its very very RARE that you fail!

had close to 30 SATA, shut off at 75. i came out half given up, half hoped up; got "good pop-up" but considering my skeptical nature, I am thinking "but I could be that one dude in billion that gets the incorrect pop up"; but for sure know that feeling, I am feeling it right now

I have a ridiculous amount of SATA and was almost relieved when my computer shut off at 75. I had definitely heard that you've either done great or you've bombed it for it to stop at 75 so I felt okay walking out of that room. I did want to puke from all of the adrenalin and coming down from that - LOL. I found out less than 30 min later that I passed and am a licensed RN. It's over a week later now and I can still hardly believe it! :)

how do you find so quickly and where may I ask? at the bon website?

I took mine 2 weeks ago and it shut off at 75Q. I passed!! Another classmate also had hers cut off at 75 and she passed!

I felt the same. I was so nervous to click next bc I was afraid I was failing so horribly that I needed the chance to get more right! When it shut off, I was 98% sure I failed! But 30 mins later I did the PVT and got the good popup and my license was posted within 24 hours and my license came in the mail a few days later! Still can't believe it!
