I haven't taken the boards yet but I've heard from people feeling the same way that you do after taking the exam. Some passed with 75, 120, or even 265 questions. Therefore, having stopped at #79 does not mean you failed. Relax for now until you get your results. Best of luck!

I took it a few weeks ago and felt the exact same way. That is normal! And- I passed. I had 75 questions, a select all that apply, a med CALCULATION question and many meds I had never even heard of. 79 questions is most likely a pass, just hang in there. You will find out in a few days, but until then: take a bubble bath, have a glass of wine, go out with friends and seriously try not to think/ fret about it. BE CONFIDENT!!!!

Don't worry about getting the last question wrong, I know others who got it wrong and still passed. So believe me when I say that there is a good chance (about 85%) of you passing still. Goodluck with your results.

Getting the last question wrong has absolutely no bearing on one's results.

And any that spread rumors like this need to be hung out to dry. There is just nothing to it at all. And all it does is scare others and for no reason.

Two different people have told me they KNOW they got the last question wrong because they looked it up later....and they both PASSED. Relax!
