Hongkong or Saipan? Help!

i hope you''ll stop at 75. 60 is the max number of questions, add to that are the 15 experimental. so if you've really prepared well, you can stop at question 75. but if you answered more questions than 75 or if, say, you went over a hundred, don't panic...remember as long as the computer keeps you on the game, fight til the end, you know what i'm saying. one girl i know was at the last possible question, i think it's question 265...she didn't give up, answered the last question, the computer shut down...know what? yep you guessed right--she passed. no matter what, just keep at it. don't ever give up. good luck again!

by the way, if you decide to choose hongkong as your testing center, be sure to wear "super makapal" outfit. according to my friends who took their exams there, it's really really cold...as if you're in a "trangkaso chamber". so if you don't want to get hypothermia or worse--get your brain frozen (you must be in optimum level of functioning when taking nclex) wear a wooly oufit (if you must) basta yung makapal talaga.if you wear a jacket, they'll take it from you.so be sure, whatever's underneath, it must be really a thick fabric (just imagine 6 hours max in a very cold airconditioned room). i even heard that they're so strict that "sandos" are not allowed. so if you're a girl, basically it's just your brassiere and your blouse/top...whatever. i can't think straight when the environment is too cold, i guess that goes the same for you, so you better heed my advice.

temperature(air-conditioner) of the hk testing room is set at 27 degrees celsius, just like the usual aircon that you feel in philippine offices and banks hence no need to worry. i didn't find it cold; in fact, wearing a jacket would have made me sweat. it's not cold inside; hk is cold when you are in the street, hehe, the environmental temperature or the real temperature.
