Hello, I took the NCLEX two days ago (my results still are not up) and have been remembering questions as the time goes on, and can think of SO many, relatively easy questions that I got wrong because I was sooooo nervous. The computer shut off at 106 questions, should I assume this is because I was answering so many questions wrong? Please someone, advice, im freaking out!

The number of questions one stops at does not determine if one fails or passes the NCLEX alone. It is based on several things.

Does your state participates in the quick results? I wish you all the best.

I agree! That #77 is an urban legend.

Hi "freaking",

By now, I'm sure you have your grade and are moving on, regardless. I don't know anything more stressful than waiting for test results- of any kind. Things that seem to help the most all have to do with redirecting your attention while you wait. Consider physical activity like tackling a project, outdoor sports or working out. If that's not for you, try reading, writing or meditating. Whatever fits your style will work. Hope the test went well and, good luck
