Arnett Test for NCLEX

originally posted by julielpn

i took the arnett test for the nclex today. it was supposed to simulate the nclex. i passed it. the fellow who did my evaluation said that my low points were pharmacology and ob (i'm in ob now...). i am average i was told...

but it made me feel good to know i passed! it was a simulated test....but i passed! i was also told that i did great on the first 12 questions, then i started to go downhill because my brain just shut down from processing too much info at once. he said to review a little bit and to slow down!

anyone else heard of such a test, a did you have to take one?

julie, when i was in lpn school, we took the nln nearing the end of each semester (it was quarters then), other than this, i don't know about the arnett test.

congratulations on passing.!

if i may, i was wondering how does your program work? i know you will be done with the lpn program in 5 weeks. you are going straight into the rn problem in the fall? how many semesters is your lpn program? just curious.

I took the Arnett test too. I passed it, also. We also had to take other Arnett tests during the school year, OB, Peds, Med-Surg, etc, they weren't worth a hoot. I think the mock NCLEX by Arnett was OK though. We also had RN CATs we had to take, similar to the NCLEX.

We took NLN and SOCATS testing when I was in PN school. I never really minded tests. That NLCEX was the one that worried me. I think the practice tests are helpful before the "Big One".

A= Airway

B= Breathing

C=Circulation

Ive never heard of this practice test, sounded like good sound advice though. MY problem is my brain FREEZES when testing like the NCLEX. I wanna be soooo prepared that I go to bed EARLY the night before, wake up, go take that bad boy and PASS!

Hi all!!! What does Arnett testing consist of?
