i passed!!!

you guys are great :) this is my first post here and i already feel very welcome.

so i took the infamous nclex-rn yesterday. when i got to question 75, i was half hoping my exam would end there. the questions were out of this world and i was feeling a little defeated. i just wanted to get out of there! however, when it did actually stop me at 75, i felt awful and wanted more questions! there was no way i could have passed. as i waited for my ride to pick me up from the testing center, i googled something like "nclex cut off at 75" and found this site. i have to say it has given me a little hope. i found that there are plenty of people out there who were also cut off at 75, felt hopeless and actually passed! yesterday was spent remembering all the questions that were on the exam and trying to look up answers to see if i got them correct. when i wasn't doing that, i was telling my family over and over that the test cut me off at 75. i've tried to talk myself into the fact that i failed it, and i've also tried talking myself into the fact that i passed. bottom line: i'm a wreck! i read on the site there's a trick to see if you passed, and i truly believe it works after reading so many posts about it. the thing is, if i did pass, i want the moment i find out to be "magical". it does sound lame, but i don't want a pop-up to indirectly clue me in to the fact that i passed or didn't pass. i think it would be much more exciting to go to my board of nursing's website and see my name and license number! ..or to get the letter in the mail (although i'm hoping i don't have to wait that long). i realize i'm just about the only person on the site who refuses to try the "trick", but i just can't do it that way. there's really no point to this post, i'm just trying to kill some time and alleviate a little anxiety. i want that license oh so bad! i know you guys know the feeling.
