I was just wondering.

What percent of your exam consisted of dosing questions? Is there a LOT of math in it? Someone told me not to focus too much on the dosing calculations (ie IV drip rate) as much as perhaps the correct range for dosing for a child, or converting lbs into kgs to figure out dosing.

So, out of morbid curiousity and if you remember...on the average, how many math questions would you say you had...and were they fill ins or multiple choice?

Please don't post any questions directly from the test. Just asking the amount of questions per test.

Example: 5 math questions out of 180.

Thanks a lot.

Cher.

7 days until test time!

I had no math dosage questions when I took boards back in July.

(Had 75 questions on my exam )

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

I took the boards on Jan 10 and I had no math/calculations questions, much to my disappointment (I'm good at these!)

Good luck!

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

Forgot to add, I had 75 questions. So 0 out of 75 were math

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

I had one out of 75 questions. I am usually good at these also but this one was hard.

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

i had 265 questions and altho i didnt make it i didnt encounter any math questions altho again it was 80% medicine based questions which is my weak side really. what to eat and what not when taking a certain meds, vital signs with a ? meds, almost any Q regarding meds, name it hehehehe.... the computer is very witty to know my weakness. sigh next time i hope i will ace it.

good luck to u:P

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

Everyones test is different. I had one dosage question out of 75. Others that I know had several. Good luck to you!!!

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

Hi. I had 4 out of 75 as I can remember. I took NCLEX last january 7, still awaiting for result.

Good luck to you.

Re: For Those Who Have Completed the NCLEX...

I had 75 questions and a whopping ZERO of them was calculations.
