I'm sitting here mildly freaking out, seeing how many posters said they were guessing and were blown away by the test and still got only 75 questions and passed. Now, I can picture myself in the same boat, but being the one who manages to guess each one wrong! Argh.

I'm working on the Kaplan Q-Bank questions mostly, lately. I find that I can always narrow it down to two answers, but only about HALF the time I manage to pick the right guess! I'm screwed My grades on the Q-bank tests have ranged from a low of 56 to a high of 73 (averaging about 62 I think)

Still have four weeks to figure out how the hell to guess the RIGHT one before the exam. I wonder how I can tell if I'm one of those people who magically get through the danged thing while guessing, or if I'm one of those pitiful souls who can't BUY a correct guess?!?

ACK>>>

just keep reviewing the questions,,,, good luck

Re: Wow, so many only got 75 questions!

thanks

I've been spending time reading through the Kaplan content, too (sort of the Cliff Notes for NCLEX!). Yesterday's quiz was a 70-something. Still don't feel like I know anything!

Re: Wow, so many only got 75 questions!

Have you tried using ABC's, Maslow or the Nursing Process on those questions?

Re: Wow, so many only got 75 questions!

Trust me, i know exactly what you talking about. I have been getting about the average of 60-62 in the tests. I will be giving nclex in next 19 days and feel like i need to do tons more... i can narrow down most questions to 2 answers just like you said and usually end up choosing the wrong one.....grrrr, but i guess all we can do is just keep practicing more and more questions, pray a lot and hope it all works out!!!!!!!!

Re: Wow, so many only got 75 questions!

Try to not dwell on how many questions everyone else had. I just took mine Tuesday, and had the entire 265. I got so worried when it wouldn't shut off, that I almost cried druing the exam. I walked out sobbing, knowing that I knew nothing and was doomed to repeat the horrible thing again. I got my quick results today, and had to stare at the computer for about 10 min before I could bear the bad news. But guess what, I passed! So see, just stay positive, relax, and know that you will be fine. Trust your judgement, and don't freak out if you have more questions than the person next to you.
