I took the NCLEX yesterday and the computer shut off at 75 questions. I was fine up until the computer shut down...THAT's when I started shaking! All questions except one appeared to be at least application or analysis level questions. None of them seemed like "recognition/recall" or "knowledge." I wasn't sure about a single answer - on most questions I could get it down to 2 possible answers right away, and from there, who knows....
I know just what you are talking about. I took mine on the 16th, it shut down at 85 (LPN) and I swear I flunked. I had quite a few prioritization and delegation, 4-5 medications. My score was on the Pearson site 2 days later. I about had an anxiety attack as I put in my credit card info so I could get the results. I was shaking and even had some tears of happiness when I saw that pass... Aren't we glad we can check in two days in Iowa? I would hate to be those poor people that have to wait till the results are sent out.
So where did you test? I tested in Dm.
You didn't say how you did in school, but I figured if you were close to the top of your class and the computer stopped that early, you probably passed.
Good Luck, I"m sure you did great.

Same here when I took my LPN. It shut down at 87. I was ready to tell my IV class I flunked and drop out the next day. When I got my result, I looked at the word "Pass" and could not believe it. I yelled I PASSED and my wife was wondering what happened. The RN was the same so I was less apprihensive about not knowing the answers and shutting off at 78. Good Luck.
