What went through your mind when the NCLEX computer didn't stop at 75?

Published

When I took my exam it didn't stop at 75 questions and I said oh %@#!* no, but then I remembered being told not to freak out if it doesn't stop at 75. As we all hope 75 is the golden number anything else we automatically worry and don't deny it (LOL). So I relaxed and continued with the test and four days later I saw my name on the BON website. I passed on the first try. So what went through your mind when the NCLEX computer didn't stop at 75?

I took it on December 16th, and passed it. By the way it was my third time. I remember that the first 2 times I freaked out, but this time I didn't. I actually took a break got up, and streached, went to the bath room and then had some water. I got ready for more questions like I am starting the exam just now. I only got 2 more and both of them we easy and I know I got them right. So here I sit now passed and now an RN. Woohoo..........

when i passed 75 questions I was ready to expect the worst and was ready for another 10 questions. When it shut off at 77 is when I felt like I was gonna throw up. i was a wreck waiting for my results thank goodness I passed!

Yeah me too, I even tried the Pearsons Vue trick for the four days (qhr) while I waited to see when my name would pop up on the BON website it worked for me. ;)

I have to admit that I freaked out a little bit and wondered what I'd gotten wrong that it wanted to ask me more questions. I got so wrapped up in the number of 75 that I didn't even really keep track after that; I just wanted it to be over as soon as it possibly could.

I passed @ 120 or so.
