The waiting game begins

Okay - took the NCLEX, cut off at 75. Know I got the last question wrong (I looked it up when I got home). It involved a herb and a disease. Vague enough? Anyway, three NCLEX review books (Kaplan, Saunders and NSNA) and the NCSBN web prep course (which I paid good money for) made NO mention of said herb in conjunction with said disease. Herb was not mentioned at all. Only one of my med surg ("Iggy") book mentioned it as an option that was being investigated. Are we responsible for this?? Could this possibly be one of the 15 unscored questions? I've heard that if you got the last question before you're cut off wrong you failed. Opinions please. Thanks.

don't sweat it!! if you read through this board alot of test takers did not get the last question right or the last few questions right for that matter and still passed!! there is no formula or secret to knowing if you passed or failed. just relax, know that you did your best, and take a deep breath!!! i'm sure you did great!! let us know when you get your results!!

gee , I hope I am this calm when it's my turn-lol

For those of you wondering, it is possible to have 75 questions and get the last question wrong AND still pass. I'm living proof. If you are still awaiting said dreaded exam, - study your drugs, psych and alternative therapies. Good luck all.
