Amsn certification test question

There are a 175 questions. Does it randomly turn off like the NCLEX, or is it straightforward and you answer all 175 regardless?

I'm confused. Is your question about the Academy of Medical Surgical Nursing Certification test? CMSRN If yes,

My test was a paper and pencil test booklet with senerios and multiple choice questions related to the senario. Simplified ex: a 23 yr old female admitted for GIB, came to the ED last PM with......, her vital signs are currently...... she has an IV of ......., Doctor has ordered ....... , you are preparing then patient for an EGD, what is prep will this patient most likely have?. Next question: what do you teach the patient about her test. 4 multiple choice answer options- you pick the best or the most correct answer. We were given 4 hours to complete the test. It was exactly like the old Nursing state board test pool questions in the 1980's- not a computer in sight. You have to completed all the questions or they were counted as wrong answers. Finished my test in 1 hour and got a 95%.

Thanks for the response. I understand the test is multiple questions, and sort of what they are looking for, etc..

I don't know how long ago you took your test, but they offer computerized or P/P test. The computer test you can test at any scheduled time, whereas the P/P is only offered at certain times a year, according to the AMSN website. I'm signed up ready to go and they even sent me a keyboard tutorial just in case I don't know how to use 4 keys.

You still have to complete the test, even if you guess, but I read that it's like NCLEX and it turns off after so many.

This does not make sense to me if P/P is still offered. I don't think the monitoring person is going to rip the paper out of somebodys hands, and tell them they are done, lol.

Anyway, I was just trying to get another opinion. :)

I took my test in CMSRN Certification in 2006. I can't answer the NCLEX question- if the computer turns off. I didn't take a computer NCLEX version. I took the state board test pool version of the nursing boards back in 1980- 2 full 8 hour days, paper and pencil
