new NCLEX-RN passing standard: what's the impact?

by chieffe

hi. i've just joined allnurses.com and i would just like to know what is the impact of the new passing standard issued by NCSBN. does this mean that nclex will be harder when implemented come april 1, 2007? the 2007 test plan seems the same with the current test plan...if i missed something, what's the difference? i'm currently doing first tip of suzanne's plan for nclex so i'm kind of concerned if there are other reading materials i should go through after i finishing saunders.

anyone with helpful info please. thanks.

here's the official info release: https://www.ncsbn.org/1090.htm

The impact should be minimal. It is really not a very large increase in the passing standard. Minor adjustments like this occur every three years.

It is changing by a decimal point as far as passing, it should not make any difference to the way that you prepare for the exam.

so just repeaters with 265 questions? what about repeaters in general...? i've read in other forums that some got 75 items but failed (although they say that those with 75, pass)...so what about them? those with 75 and failed, and those who failed not reaching 265 questions?
