I took the exam yesterday and the comp shut off @ 75Q. I have lots of infectious control, medications and Endocrine. It freaks me bec it seems like i remember the time when i took my first exam and it stop at 75 and i failed, it keeps on recalling me that maybe i did the same thing. OMG, God knows i prepared this exam and really wanted to pass and keeps on praying that this time He will grant my prayers.

Have you tried doing the PVT? It does really help relieve your anxiety while waiting for the dreaded official result. I know you pass. CONGRATS in advance! =D

I just passed my boards in September of this year- computer shut off at 75 questions. I left feeling like I failed...my brain went to mush. However, I had 10 or more sata, tons of meds I have no recall of ever learning, at least 5 or more endo questions...and at the end of it all I could have swore I never went to school for nursing.I prepared by doing at least 100 questions per day from Saunders disk, from Mosby's disk and Kaplan disk. Kaplan by far was the most difficult to answer- but I think it really helped. I really gathered the most help from reading the rationales...same thing I did in nursing school before exams. I also did the pvt- wouldn't let me pay...so I was skeptical anyway. Turns out that I looked online within the next few days and there was m name- with the long awaited for RN...I guess Im still in shock...I felt NCLEX was the most difficult test I ever had to take- maybe that is just how I feel, and Im not trying to make anyone nervous...but I usually knew when I passed or failed a test in school- and that one I could have swore I bombed. I had friends tell me they thought it was super easy...(I have no idea where they got that idea), but I always had to put in extra time and effort in school to get the grades I did, whereas some of my friends read the material and got A's without all the effort and torment I went through. So- I guess I would just say think about the question, what does it want, not what you have seen or heard- but read the question without prejuding it. Read the rationales...all of them- even if you know the answer. Good luck with everything, you will pass :)
