Did not finish NAPLEX and pass or not?

Could anyone please help me with this?
Do you know if anyone who did not complete the NAPLEX exam and still passed the exam? I had 4 unanswered questions on the exam but I think I did quite well on the questions I answered. The last 10 questions I answered were all math and I just entered random numbers to try to finish the exam but I still didn't have time.
I'm having a panic attack the past couple of days because I have read that a lot of people who did not finish the exam got scores of 74.
Any ASAP information is appreciated.
Thanks,

The only hard stop requirement is you must answer 160 questions of the 185. You will incur a penalty for not finishing but you can definitely still pass the test.

Thanks, Prepharm1214!

I was answering from memory its actually 162, here is the quote:

To receive a test score, you must have completed at least 162 questions on the examination. Candidates completing less than 162 questions will NOT have their scores reported. Candidates who complete at least 162 questions, but fewer than 185 questions, will have
a penalty applied and their scores adjusted to reflect the number of questions that remained unanswered. Therefore, it is in the candidate’s best interest to answer all questions presented.

I passed with 110 score. Thank you all very much, especially Garfield3d and prepharm1214 for your information and support. I feel like now I can live again at least until my law exam.
Now I know even if you don't finish the exam but if you did well on the rest and completed 162 questions at least, you still have a chance to pass. And the lesson I learned is: do well on all the math questions, only spend about 30 sec to 1 minute on other questions to save more time on the math questions, especially in the end. I learned it the hard way anyway.
Also, I studied the APhA book very thoroughly for therapeutics. There were many questions on my exam straight out of this book. I'm not allowed to cite the questions exactly, but if you only have this book, it should be enough for therapeutics. You have to learn math and statistics elsewhere.
That's my two-cent advice.
Thanks, all!

Well done 2012hope! I'm very glad for you, I also did not finish (only 1 question left but still). In the opening post you said you had to enter random numbers for the last 10 or so math? That gives me a bit of confidence because math was definitely my weakest point on this test and you still got a very good score of 110 🙂 well done again!
