   itzkristen replied to twanab's topic in NCLEX

   I know how you're feeling. I took the PN exam in February and my computer shut off after 85 questions as well. I sat there in shock and wanted to hit the computer to see if I could shake a couple more questions out of it. I went home convinced that...
