now i know how everyone feels.. the feeling of stopping at any random number.. i stopped around 110 (i know that it doesnt not matter what number you stop at).. i really felt good going into the test, but that computer gave me a run for my money!

in my opinion, i feel like it wasnt the questions/scenarios that were hard, but it was the actual ANSWER choices that were difficult.. every answer sounds like it could be the right answer!

i walked out of that room feeling nothing.. no thoughts or feelings could even come over me anymore.. everyone says they feel like they failed afterwards, but wow.. i really feel it.

im happy with the number i stopped at, even though i dont know how i did. I feel like stopping at 85 is just a blunt pass or fail.. but in MY OPINION, im happy that i went on a couple more questions because to me, that meant that they were giving me a chance to redeem myself since i wasnt doing too good, or too bad!

i pray that those last couple questions proved that i knew my stuff.. but if not, it's okay.. as much as it would feel good to pass the first time, doing it a second time is okay to me and ive already accepted that, because it'll only make me stronger in the long run..

sorry for rambling! i just wanted you guys and girls to hear my thoughts and opinions..

I did mine too yesterday and it shut off at 87 questions. I did know some of the questions but most were tough in selecting the choices.........I am not sure how I did........I felt like I failed when leaving and when I got home the feeling got worse. At some point during the exam I thought the computer was trying to fail me on purpose. The questions kept getting harder and harder............

Just wait and see how you did. In my State (Massachussetts) the wait is 48 hours for quick results. I'll get mine on Tuesday . Keep us updated on how you did. And whatever number it stops at does not mean anything........All one has to acheive is to be above the standard the NCLEX has been set at. In the brochure it says that the computer shuts of after deciding if a candidate is above the standard or below and it could be at any number of questions. I have read blogs on here about those who failed at 85 questions and those that passed at 205 or inbetween and vice versa.

Good luck, and All the best in your career.
