It is unfortunate that most of you where not properly briefed by your instructor on how the National Registry exam works.
The perfect student will get 1/2 of the test wrong. Yes.. in the old days that would be a 50. With computer based adaptive testing, as long as 1/2 of those questions remain above the minimum competency level, you will pass the test. All students are given a minimum of 60 questions to begin to figure their baseline.
This video from the registry explains the whole process. This is on the DVD that was sent to all instructors along with a letter strongly urging them to show it to their students.

It takes a few minutes to load, even on high speed.

I had 71 and passed it took me 20 minutes. Some of the questions were in left field though. I had no idea what to put.
134 and I passed on my first try. 
( August 4th 2008 )
I had read this thread the day before my exam, which was a bad thing.
During my exam I passed 70 then 80 etc, and I was sure I had bombed it completely. It made me stress like crazy.
It just seem wrong that I can pass with a high number, when everybody else
pass with only 70 - 80 questions :unsure:
Oh well, as long as I passed I am happy.

Congrats
The CAT format test is so different than many of us are used to and at a gut level I felt like I did poorly.
Be that as it may, congratulations and good luck. You now have official permission to really start learning.:
Nice job, I see it as a matter of you not losing your cool and working the test all the way to a successful conclusion.134 and I passed on my first try.

Doctor.
It doesn't matter the score... as long as you can take the book knowledge, and learn the skills to function well on the street.

EMT-B passed on the first try and it shut off on 75. I was SO scared I didn't pass. My husband passed his on first try as well and it shut off on like 115.

Mine shut off around 74-76-ish...
... And I PASSED!
I was so freaking nervous. To tell the truth, I have no idea whether or not I got the last question right. I've had very differing opinions!

yes frustrated
why can't they just tell you then and there if you passed or failed? that is the beauty of an e-test.
So, I was flustered by this test as my department has gone from administering a local emt test to NREMT test. Instead of a refresher we had to go to 2 weeks of study to take this test. Alot of good questions, the last of which shut off the test at about 68, and I think I missed it.
So if I missed the last question did I fail? Seems to be the trend...
Same with some CPR/AED questions....no reference to book or AHA, etc.

I hope you know....
Sometimes people in this forum do not respond to those that have the uncertainty fear that they flunked the test. To those people that don't get a response please know that most all of us in here were once like you are now... up in the air about our passing the test as well. It's a tough time sweating out the results... but know that you are not alone. You...are...not...alone.
