nursekhat, I had two questions that were soooo similar that I reread the second one time and time again to make sure. Then I sat there a few minutes wondering if I'd missed the correct answer the first time and the computer was giving me a second chance (yeah, giving that computer human qualitites now;) ) In the end I chose the same answer I'd answered the first time....I *knew* that was the right answer, dang it!!

It's times like these I wish we got a report of the questions we missed...I'm sure that will never happen, though...too many people would "share".

No, not necessarily. If you go to www.ncsbn.org and check out the 2006 Candidate Bulletin, I believe there's a section that addresses repeat questions. Part of it has to do with the fact that so many of the questions are unscored trial items.
