Took my NCLEX today - Test shut off at 75 questions

Published

After a few weeks of studying 8+ hours a day and stressing horribly, I finally reached the big day. I took my NCLEX this morning at 10am. I felt like I didn't know the answer to any of the questions and thought I was failing the whole time - then the test shut off at 75 questions. I didn't really know how to feel and I still don't. I've heard you're supposed to feel like you've failed but I expected to at least kind of feel confident afterwords. I did the Pearson Vue trick right after the test when I got into my car and got what I think is the good pop up... it said something about already having an exam registered. I've also heard I may have tried the PVT too early and that it isn't accurate... I got a lot of SATA on the exam and what I thought to be higher level analysis questions. I also know for sure I got the 75th question right if that makes any difference. What do you think? Was it too early for PVT? I am more anxious now then I was before the test, and I didn't think that was possible...

The best way to guess if you passed or failed at 75 questions - were you a really good student? Did you get all or mostly As? If so, then I would venture an educated guess that you passed. In order to shut off at 75 questions, you either did really really well, or really really bad.

I was an A-B student and used Kaplan to study with qBank scores in the 60s-70s. Just did the PVT again and am still getting the "good" popup... I'm hopeful!
