75 questions.. Worried

Hi everyone. I took my nclex exam yesterday at 8am and the computer shut off at 75 questions. I was feeling confident when I walked out. I got 12-15 SATA, lots of priority and med questions.. My questions definitely were higher level questions. A class mate took the test at the same time and her license number was posted on the BON website this morning but mine is not. This has me so incredibly worried that I failed. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Do I just need to wait for my quick results and stop worrying? I don't feel that I could have done bad enough to fail in 75 questions.

Opinions AND PRAYERS would be appreciated!

    Wait for your quick results! It's all you can do at this point.

    Also, the format of questions have nothing to do with being higher level.

    Go do something fun! You worked hard, so you deserve a break :)

    Good luck to you, OP!

    Thank you for the encouragement! I just didn't know if it was normal for some licenses to be posted and some to not be right away. I called the state board and asked this and they said not to worry, that the postings of licenses are random. It's impossible not to think the worst though.

    MY grandmother used to sing that to me, it having been popular when she was a girl before WWI. Now I can pass it on even more. Great tune, huh?

    I never heard the verses, just the chorus, before I found this on YouTube. They emphasize your point even better, though. You think you've got problems, try facing down a host of armed enemy. Smile!

    PS, for those who aren't versed in early 20-century slang, a "***" is a cigarette, and a "lucifer" is one of those newfangled matches with sulfur in the tips, thus the satanic smell when struck.
