What are the chances of failing with 75 questions?

Published

I'm just wondering...my test shut off at 75 questions...I had a lot of SATA and like 3 drag and drops and a couple other alternate format questions...I am getting the good pop up, but seriously, can you fail with 75 questions? It seems so strange to me that a test we have been preparing for for over 2 years can culminate in only 40 minutes!! Thank you guys for all of your posts that have kept me calm over the past couple of weeks. I am so glad I found this site and appreciate all input!

Yes, you can fail in 75 questions. There have been people on here who have had that happen. You can fail anywhere on the spectrum of 75-265. BUT, you have gotten the good pop-up so it sounds like you passed just fine. Congrats!

You can fail with 75 questions, but I think it's pretty rare, you have to do pretty bad for that to happen. Good pop up, I'm sure you passed. Congrats! BTW, I thought it was crazy that all my hard work throughout nursing school ended in 45 mins with a 75 question test, kind of crazy, but I was definitely happy it shut off at 75.

I kept telling myself I would be content with the good pop-up after reading all the positive things about it on here, but now that it's actually happening to me...I won't believe it til I see that license number!!

I KNOW!!! RIGHT!!! I felt EXACTLY the same way!!! 75 questions, 1.5 hours of my life and it was over? HUH? :wideyed: I am thrilled I passed but I guess this is why sometimes the journey is better than actually arriving!

I feel the same way!!! It took me an hour and only 75 questions. I thought it would be long and extremely painful. I also told myself that if I got the good pop up I would be content, but here I am, constantly checking that the pop up won't disappear and it takes me to the credit card page LOL I'm checking it like a mad woman! It just seems like it is too good to be true. I only got 7 SATA, and I have heard tons of horror stories from people about getting 20-30. Every time I tell someone about my unofficial passing status I always give them a disclaimer that they're not official results. I would feel like a complete idiot if I started celebrating now and then after 48 hours I see I didn't pass.

I wish I could feel relieved just from seeing the pop up, but I don't!!! It will be alright, kwit412--we passed!!! We have to think positive or we will go nuts.

I agree designermommy!! I was one of those people with 20-30 SATAs (I didn't count)...but it was the majority of my test...I didn't find them to be too incredibly hard though!
