This is why everyone who takes the test and passes comes out thinking that they failed......

Actually, it not designed for you to get 50/50; you have to get 51% right...more right than wrong.

No not 51% right. It is designed for you to get 50/50 right. The trick is, you must get more application and analysis questions correct, like SATA, prioritization as oppose to knowledge and comprehension questions, which are consider lower levels. That is what the lady at Kaplan told me.

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

The test is unpredictable and is not designed to be an easy to pass test. People who pass and people who fail both leave the test exhausted and discouraged.

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

i have heard of this, becareful though because they have conditions on giving your money back, something like you have to wait a month before taking the Nclex after taking the class. Read the fine print. But you know, im sure youll pass anyway and wont need to worry anyway. just thought id let you know

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

I am taking NCLEX-RN next week...so I don't know firsthand how difficult it is yet, but the woman who taught our review course at school warned us that you think it was super easy then you probably didn't pass!

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

Yes, the Nclex is very hard. I just took it today and got 130 questions. I felt like I didn't know anything, even though I studied several review books. The questions aren't anything like the questions in the review books. I think the test really sucks and doesn't test your knowledge of Nursing at all.

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

Yes, It is very hard. Nothing like the review books... I took it today and got 130 questions. I did good in school and reviewed prolly 4000 questions prior to taking the exam. I would highly recommend a Kplan course. The questions are very tricky.

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

Depends on how difficult is the question.

Re: How hard is the NCLEX???

I agree with KAYBDT. It depends with the questions that will be given to the test taker.

I just don't understand other people. After the test they say, "OMG it's so hard, i'm sure i failed". After they passed, they will say, "it's not hard at all. it's not as hard as what i expected...ect.etc..."

But i will say, it's hard/confusing/tricky. There are more hard questions than easy questions...
You'll definitely pass if you prepared well. content+strategies+prayers=PASSED

Goodluck!
