What happens if the NCLEX stops at 77 questions?!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

So i took the NCLEX today...i had WAY too many SATAs and i have heard that they are the harder end of the questions but i did not feel too confident. It seemed like the questions did not get any easier throughout the entire exam. i only had one calculation, a ton of pharm...uggh. Well, i got to 75 and in a way, i was hoping the exam would shut off but on the other hand, i thought maybe that would not be good because it was possibel i did SO badly on the first 75 questions that they knew to fail me right off the bat :(. Well, it didnt stop at 75 and when i saw 76 i was really excited because i knew the program had not come to a 95% certainty on whether or not i had passed it but i was sure i would have to get the majority of the harder questions correct from that point forward...well, the 76th question was something about anemia and i KNOW i got that correct (i even went home and looked it up after the exam!) and then they gave me 77...a mental health question about a personality disorder- i had actually studied that topic specifically and the question was, "What would the nurse do FIRST" ones. (I also looked that one up when i got home and got it correct also)...then the exam shut off...im a nervous wreck. i originally thought i failed but then maybe not? Does anyone have any feedback- i would love to hear thoughts!!:scrying:

well, i checked my results this morning and I PASSED!!!!!!!!:hpygrp:
