I took my test 1.20.09 and just found out this am that i passed. my comp shut off at 78 questions. there is ALWAYS hope as long as you havent received the failure letter in the mail. my friend and i took it the same day at the same time. another friend of mine took hers 3 days AFTER me.............they received their license before i heard anything so i assumed i failed. 3 days letter i received mine. just goes to show there is no real logic in how the license or test results are processed. leaving the NCLEX exam was, i thought, the worst day of my life. i felt HORRIBLE and KNEW i failed.....however, it turned out just the opposite. STAY POSITIVE until you know its really over. im proof nothing is done in order!
