jadecatToday was TEST DAY for hubby. The RN exam works thusly- you register with testing company (i.e. send them lots of money), they verify that you're allowed to take the test, and then send you an Authorization to Test. You then are allowed to select a test date.
The TEST DAY arrives and you show up at the testing facility half an hour early. Then you take the test. Now, there are a minimum of 75 questions to answer. The answers go into an algorithm and if, after 75 questions, it determines that you've passed- the test shuts down. Similarly- if it determines you're just too dumb and will never pass- it shuts off. If it can't decide- you get more questions. When it decides- it just shuts off. Note- it never actually tells you that you've done well or poorly.
So after 75 questions, Hubby's test shut off. He is of course convinced that means he completely bombed the test. I think the opposite. :) In three days or so we'll know.
The most important thing is that it's DONE!
