Paranoid about NCLEX exam

Hi,

I took my NCLEX exam and I just realized that my answer to the last question was wrong and the test stopped. Does this mean I failed because it stopped after giving the wrong answer on the last question? Advice anyone?

No! This does not mean you failed. For instance say it stopped at 75, and you knew you got the last one wrong. If you were already way above the line (of minimum to pass) it just needed to get to 75 questions to stop even though you pretty much had already passed and a question wrong at the end was NOT going to drop you below the line.

If it went beyond 75 I still would not worry, I have heard people say they have gotten the last ? wrong and they did indeed pass...did you try the pearson trick yet? Breathe, I'm sure you did fine!
