If you run out of time they look at your last 60 questions answered. If you were above the passing line for the entirety of the last 60 questions you pass. If at any point you dipped below passing over those 60 questions you fail.

That's what I want to know too! I know about answering the last 60 questions etc but part of me needs to know people out there (a lot of them) who passed even if they did not finish. Ive read here that some only answered #235, #175, #93 but still passed. I get anxious if im too slow in a number and seeing the time ticks..and made me answer faster which I thought I should have gave it more thinking

I was curious and had a question about this as well

what would happen if a person were to do > 75 questions

And at one point got like 4 5 or 6 questions in a row that they KNOW were right (ie luck of the draw, just getting a bunch of questions that you KNOW in a row)

Then just sat there and stopped and let the time run out ?

i would assume that having gotten lucky with several easy questions in a row correctly, that you could just stop wait for the time to run out and likely be above the passing standard?

I doubt that would be looked at highly. One thing they look for are odd testing patterns and if you sat for a long time I can imagine that could result in holds, reviews and possible invalidation of results.
