Are priority questions really a good thing?


Hi, I just took my nclex yesterday morning and it shut off at 75 questions. I felt like I guessed on everything! I had 2 ob questions maybe 1 peds, 2 mh, and all the rest were med surge questions on diseases that we maybe spent 5 minutes learning! I also had a whole lot of priority questions! I have been hearing this is a good thing. Can anyone tell me why this is a good thing? I accepted an amazing job with great benefits, no weekends or nights, and paid holidays and it is contigent on me passing boards!

Priority questions are considered higher level. That is a good thing to get on the exam.
