Test shutting off at 75 questions... pass or fail?

For those of you who have had your tests shut off at 75 questions, how did that make you feel? Did you feel confident that you passed or sure you failed? And what happened when you found out for sure?

I begged my computer to come back on, and tried the PVT and got the good pop-up but am still waiting for quick results. It really scared me though for it to shut off so early. I thought wow, did I really do that bad? Can't I do just a couple more questions to prove myself? I will do better I swear.

This waiting game is almost worse than the test itself...

how do you find so quickly and where may I ask? at the bon website?

My state BON posted my license #. I wasn't even going to start checking it until later in the afternoon but a classmate checked it and sent me a screenshot of my info. Later in the day, around 4:00 p.m., I got the official email from the BON.

Wow! I wish Michigan was that fast. My friend took hers on Saturday and as of today she still doesn't have a license number even though she got the results from quick results yesterday that she passed.

Yea, I can't figure out if NC is fast or slow or varies haha. 'Cause one girl, the day she posted on FB that she passed was I'm pretty sure the same day that she got her quick results and her license was up that day. But then another girl from our class took it last Friday and her license isn't on the website (but I don't know if she passed or not). Took mine yesterday but no license up yet. Gonna check in the morning before I do quick results.

I felt good when my test shut off at 75 questions. I'd gotten a million SATA questions and the one math question I had had about 17 steps to it. I felt pretty confident. I had never heard of the Pearson Vue trick in 2007 so I just paid for the quick results 2 days later and I passed. Massachusetts doesn't post license numbers that quickly.

I'm in Indiana. Really, I have thrown off the curve big time for all my friends. Most are lucky enough to find out the next day but after hearing how soon mine hit it's making the wait so much harder. The closest I've heard is a friend taking the test at 8:00 a.m. and finding out he passed around 4:00 p.m. the same day. Otherwise, everyone I know seems to be getting their results in 12-24 hours. Apparently Indiana is on top of things! :-)

I'm on the same boat. I took my test exactly 2 weeks ago. BON Saipan doesn't have quick result. Had 18 SATA's, 23 prioritization and the computer shut off at 75. Tried the PVT and got the good pop up. I am really uncertain because my SATA and prio questions didn't come in a row. Maybe I got those questions wrong. My 70-75 were all SATA except 73 that was a medication I think. I was thinking maybe it was the unscored ones. My classmate who took the test May 30 saw her name on nursys on June 5. She just only waited 6 days. If my name isn't in nursys does it mean i failed? :) Wishing everyone the best of luck.

State BON only get updated on nursys.com every so often. PA was last updated on the 13th it says and I'm still not on there either. As long as you are on your states BON and have a license # that's all that matters.

BON Saipan's website don't post license number in their website. When did you take the test? BON Saipan last updated 6-18-13. Our only option is the letter which will arrive 1-2mnths or nursys. Best of luck to all!

Oh man :-/ I tested 6/13. Had a license # by 9 am 6/14 on PA BON website.
