Alternate Items on NCLEX

Yes.

Same boat here. I had 75 questions, no alternative formats... I considered myself lucky.

Did you pass??

HyperRNRachel · Jan 24, 2006

I passed! I answered 75 questions and had 5 alt. questions. No two test are the same, if you are prepared then you can correctly answer whatever the test asks.

Relax.

I took the NCLEX-PN examination on 12/28/05 and passed with the minimum amount of questions possible, which is 85 for the PN test. Thankfully, I received absolutely no alternate format questions and didn't really want to encounter these types of questions anyhow.

I thought that the alternate format questions were the easiest questions on the entire test.

I know I heard that the drug calculations are considered some of the easiest questions of the alt format..

I have a question?? Is it possible to take and pass the NCLEX and have NO Alt items on it?? I had 75 questions, and NO alt items.. I am worried.. :uhoh21:

Yes, you can pass without any alternate item questions. There aren't nearly as many alternate format items as there are multiple choice items.
