I took the NCLEX on Monday, and was devastated when the computer did not shut off after 75 questions. This was definately the hardest test I've ever had to take. I know that the number of questions has nothing to do with how well I did, or whether I pass or not, but I'm worried stiff. I couldn't think straight for about 20 questions after I hit #75, and once I hit 150 I had resigned myself to doing all 265. The computer shut off after 205, and I left the center feeling totally dejected. I have an ICU job that i'm supposed to start on Aug. 15th, and failling the test would mean losing my dream job. I have to think positively, and could definitely use some positive vibes from you guys.

Congratulations.

I get so discouraged when I read about how people are so devasted by the number of questions they get. It really disrupts the test taking experience in my opinion.

Another good example to others that the number of questions is just the number of questions.
