75 Qs, think I failed

Took the NCLEX at 1:30pm today, 99% sure I failed in 75. Here's why:

- I wasn't the best student in nursing school (mostly Bs, a few Cs and a few As), and I'm definitely not at the level of my peers who passed in 75. So between passing with flying colors and failing abysmally, I'm probably not the former.

- I didn't get many SATA or priority questions. I can't remember exactly how many. I know I got a few, definitely at least 10 between those two types. Not more than that, though.

- I didn't have any alternate-format questions. I've been told that getting SATA, priority, and alternate-format questions means that you're in the higher level questions and passing. I didn't get many of these.

Is my reasoning off? Has anyone had a test like this and passed? Has anyone in Missouri had to retake it? This is killing me but I'm trying to be practical so I can plan what to do if I did fail. I feel like I just completely blew it and I'm really beating myself up about it :( I accepted an awesome job with an awesome manager and I'm terrified that I just threw that away. Any advice or support would be awesome right now!

    There are plenty of people who will tell you the type of question you get does not matter. I honestly do not know if that's the truth or not because NCLEX is incredibly different for everyone who takes it. All I can say is that I hear about a lot more people passing at 75 than I do people failing. You have to really, REALLY mess up to fail at 75 questions.

    Yeah, I've seen that a lot on here. My school thought otherwise and drilled it into us, so I'm hoping they're wrong and you're right!!!

    Yeah I've heard that too. I'm just not confident at all that my performance made the test say "girl you got it, you don't even need more questions." Based on how I did in nursing school, that doesn't seem likely :(

    Edit: Thank you for your reply though! It's making me doubt my lack of confidence, so that's good!
