Alternate format...NCLEX yesterday

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I took NCLEX yesterday. It was a very interesting test, to say the least!!! :chuckle :chuckle

I don't know how to interpret it... but, you know those alternate format questions???? I got, not 1, not 2, not 3, of those, as I have heard from so many previous NCLEX-takers.

No... I got FOURTEEN of those suckers!!!!!! :eek:

All 14 were those "check all that apply" type.

That is just CRAZY!!!! At one point, I got 3 IN A ROW!!! Several times, I got 2 in a row. When the test started and I got one in the beginning, like Q5 or so, I thought, "Whew, there's my (1)!!" Nope... I wasn't to be so lucky. I got another one on Q8(?)... and they just kept coming!!!

You know things are bad when you are HAPPY to see a "which patient should the home health nurse see first" question!!!!!!!!

Christine, GN in limbo!

P.S.: Computer shut off at 75......nearly 20% of my test was alternate format!!!

Wow, 14? Whew. I didn't get any.

I also took the NCLEX yesterday, mine cut off at 90.

You sound much more confident than I feel. I am nervous as crap.

Good luck to you! Hope we are both celebrating soon.:balloons:

I got 3, a friend of mine got 5, another got 8, and another got 10. We all passed.
