I took the Nclex-PN on 8-28-15 in CT. Waiting for my results has been torture. I can't eat/sleep. It shut off at 85 questions, I got mostly select all that apply and priority. I'm hoping that's a good sign. I'm just so worried and I don't know who to turn to so here I am...!

The type of question (despite urban legend) does not indicate pass/fail. All question types have higher and lower cognitive levels. 55% of all candidates receive minimum questions. The average number of questions of someone that passed is 116. 79% of US educated candidates pass on first attempt...this statistic has more bearing on your potential pass/fail combined with your performance in nursing school and the rigor of your program than whether you had 45 SATA & 36 prioritization. Another candidate had mostly alternate format questions presumed they passed yet failed.
You should have quick results 48 hours post test or check license verification on the BoN website .
