i took the nclex twice... the first time i took it, i stopped at 140 questions went home and right away did the PVT and went to the credit cards (so i failed). The second time, 4000 practice questions and weeks of studying later, I took it again. I stopped at 75 questions went straight home again and did the PVT and got the good pop up message. Just found out this morning that I passed. Most people who take 75 questions either do really good or really bad. I would check the PVT if I were you. Don't give up hope, it only delays you from your final goal of getting your license. Trust me, I was a wreck the first time I took it and failed and I only wish I started studying sooner. Good Luck!
