Taking the NLN PAX RN on Friday...


...and I am so nervous! I'm taking it at Farmingdale State College. I've been studying but I feel like I'm not studying enough even if I study for 5 hours a day. Has anyone taken this test recently? What should I expect? What should I really focus on? I feel pretty confident with the math and the vocabulary but I am FREAKING OUT about the science (physics) part. Any advice?

Good luck!

Most of the science questions aren't that bad. You'll probably think you failed but really, you'll have done fine.


There are more questions on the exam than there are on the practice exams, so make sure you answer them all. Some of the questions will be thrown out because they're experimental questions for developing the exam. You won't know which these are, so trying to guess how you did can be crazy making.

I didn't think I did well but I made a 128. It's a long test, but if you take your time, it isn't so bad.

SuperStar, I got a 129 on the test and just got my acceptance letter today!! I wish you all the best of luck! I thought the test was TOUGH. A few of the math questions I had to guess because I ran out of time but apparently I did something well

The key is to relax!

I was terrified of the science portion, and ended up getting a composite score of 149. Needless to say, I was quite surprised! I don't find out if I got in to the program until mid-June

Best of luck!

Emdee511,

I am set to take the next on Saturday. I am studying the guide ( Macdonald). This is a second career for me and a long return back to school. Although I have done many of my pre-reqs, I am wondering what is really difficult on the NLN. I need to get a score like yours to get into my program. It's very competitive here. Any advice ?

or anyone else, who just took the test.

Thanks in advance.

Also I will be taking the computer version if anyone has any input on that. I've heard that you get your score right there at the end. Has anyone had any experience with the computer version ?
