Hello nurses/nursing students!

I just want to know that how do you know you are above the pass point while taking the NCLEX? Do you have SATAs or priority questions? Let me know! Thanks.

Re: How do you know you are above the pass point?

I had not idea whether I was above passing. My main focus was to answer the questions in front of me one at a time using critical thinking. When the computer shut at 75, I had a feeling I passed. I did keep track on SATAs, 10 total and about 10 meds. There is no indicator on the screen that can tell you if you above or not.

Re: How do you know you are above the pass point?

Thanks for replying. I had a lot of SATAs too.. although I really did not count how much of the categories I had. How did you do on your exam?

I passed and it was my first time. I personally did not find the exam hard at all. I thought it was easier than some exams I had in nursing school. It was more critical thinking in my opinion.

You can't really tell, Having many SATA has no bearing as people with no SATA can still pass. I suggest reading the NCSBN website would help you understand it more

Re: How do you know you are above the pass point?

the last time i took it, i had so many Infection Control on SATA's format..and Prioritization.

Re: How do you know you are above the pass point?

I had tons of SATA, priority question and medication couple with med-surge which is my best subject:rcgtku:

Thanks everyone!

I passed too! I tried the Pearsonvue NCLEX trick yesterday, however when I clicked next in the register button, nothing popped up, and I was so in nerves that I closed the window immediately. I thought I had failed, and could barely think for 12 hours after that.

The PearsonVue NCLEX trick is not for the weakhearted. :]. I was confident after taking the exam however the 48 hours you wait after getting unofficial results is simply nerve-wrecking.
