NCLEX in 75?

[skayel]

Is it normal to feel like you failed after 75 questions? I took my NCLEX today. I studied a ton in school, maintained very high grades, and got 99% probability of passing from ATI. I did not expect my computer to stop at 75. When it did, I was extremely excited like "Hey, I did it!" but as times goes on that "what if you are the one who bombed this miserably" is creeping up into my head. I can recall and handful of questions that I was on the fence on and looked up the topics when I got home and know without a doubt I got them wrong. It is only a select few that I was absolutely unsure of but those are the ones that I can vividly remember. I remember having many "aha" light-bulb moments in questions about nurse/patient communication where the nurse clearly addressed exactly what the patient said. I had a few streaks where I kept getting SATA as well, but the majority of my test was multiple choice with one drag and drop as my last question and I am pretty confident I got it correct. I know you can fail or pass in any amount of questions. I'm just looking for some reassurance from others who had 75 questions, if you began to remember questions you definitely got wrong after the fact.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, that is exactly how you feel when it shuts off at 75 questions. When my screen was blue after question 75, I was positive that I had completely tanked it, or some catastrophic error of my doing had caused it to crash. The proctor at the test site was encouraging but until my name showed up on the state BON website I was a mess. Side note: I drove home in a daze and spent the rest of the day being in a state of shock. From what I´ve heard, that´s normal.

I took my test feb 12 and shut off at 75 I can only remember 10 of the question which is the first 2 and the last question , just remembered randomly some of the question. I have 8-10;SATA and combination of everything like psyche, pediatric some meds, ob delegations ,prioritization,infections control cardiac and ecg. But cannot recall the question ,endocrine/renal question. So far to scared to check on breeze and so anxious if I pass or fail....

I was convinced I failed. I was so sick waiting for unofficial results. But I passed! From what I am understanding, prioritization and delegation are high level questions. So I think you should be fine!! Everyone that passes in 75 feels like they failed it seems.
