Then maybe its true because you stopped at 75 then maybe your on the median line in passing... your hitting the high level questions but not enough in making it in the top of the line.. I know for sure you'll be getting your RN license the 2nd time you took the test. Best of luck to you!

Can't say that I've ever heard this. I don't remember any endocrine questions being on my NCLEX. All I remeber is a whole lot of priority and delgation questions. I passed with 100 questions on the first try. Ofcourse it is a possibility that I had those questions and just don't remember them.

don't know if its true or not, but when I took Boards almost a month ago and half of mine was on endocrine!

The exam will focus on your weak points. Depends on the Endocrine question if it is a higher level or not, there is not one simple answer to that. And if one is getting the majority of their questions in endocrine it is because they were not answering the others correctly.

Each person that writes the exam gets 50% correct and 50% incorrect. Does not matter who it is, but they go by the level of the questions where the majority of them are above a certain level. Nothing more than that.
That is why there is no numerical result issued, just pass or no pass.

I never heard that, but I wonder if it is true---after I took my Nclex I emailed my Med Surg 2 teacher and told her it was a Med Surg 2 type of test----Med Surg 2 is where we learned about endocrine--I had a diabetes question, cushings, addisons, and SIAD question---

Crazy thing is and I have no idea how--but I swear I did not have a single Maternity question, at least not that I can recall and I have a pretty good memory and only took 75 questions...

How could Nclex grant me a license with out questioning me on Maternity--I had a few who would you see 1st questions where kids were the patients, and one question on what reflex in a baby would you report to the Dr.

But no pregnancy questions at all---and of course, I went into Nclex thinking off all the categories I am weak in it is Maternity....

Sometimes I almost feel bad like I got the dumby test and passed. ---well I dont feel that bad!!!

Out of the 75 questions, 15 are also ones that do not count, they are questions that they are checking on before putting them in an exam and having them count. But you do not know which ones that they are.

Each exam is different and not all areas will be covered on each and every exam, but one does not know what will not be covered.

Glad to hear that you passed the exam.
