75 questions, over 50 alternate format!

Published

I just took the nclex and was getting SATA after drag and put in order question, one after another, after another. After 15 questions of this I just sat there and closed my eyes to not get overwhelmed and just took a deep breath.. but it kept happening! I never even thought having over 50 alternate format questions would be possible..and then the test turned off at 75 questions and I cannot stop freaking out.

I know I had SATA one after another but I can't help but question, were they application questions? just recall questions? I know I don't have the authority to determine that but Im just panicking that I was getting them wrong and dropping lower and lower ..and the worst imagined but that it turned off at 75. I just wish I had more of a chance to answer questions that were multiple choice where I always feel much more confident when I submit them..

Now its the long 48 hour wait and everyone keeps telling me theres no way you failed! failing at 75 only happens when you completely bomb the test! but I know in my heart, I found it hard and I was much less confident with all of those SATA questions. I know they have them at every level question and they do not indicate what so ever the difficulty of the question but I just feel so sad because they are in fact harder in my opinion and you have much less of a chance of getting them right

How did you study? I have taking this exam 3 times and have failed. It has been really playing with my emotions. I have study my brains out and when I open up my books, I just dont know where to began anymore. I have really bad test anxiety and terrible at selecting the right answers.

What have you done to help you study and prepare to pass. I am right there on the border of passing.
