Hi and welcome to the site

Check NCSBN and any new information will be on there. As far as I am aware there are no new changes

What type of information are you looking for? Can you be more specific?

It is a computerized exam and if you are going to be sitting for the RN exam, you can have anywhere from 75 to 265 questions on your exam.

And do you actually have a date scheduled for the exam? Have you applied thru a BON for licensure as of yet?

If you did not train in the US, the exam is going to be that much more difficult for you. There is a significant difference in the names of medications as well as lab results. And you also are going to need to cover diseases that are not normally seen in your country as well.

hmmm,.... actually i heard a rumor that it will be much harder starting April. i hate to believe because im planning to take it first week of April 2009. I actually care less because i believe no one can tell what set of questions you will have, but if there such thing as the board to actually make it harder/ increase the passing rate, i would like to know. Ü

i already have my ATT, no schedule (test date) yet. Im planning to take it end of march or first week of april, depends on my confidence level. Ü

yes, im aware that the exam is going to me much difficult form me as a foreign graduate. sigh. Thats why as part of my preparation for this respected exam, i am engaging myself to this community.Ü hoping i could learn a lot of the differences. hmmmm,... if u don't mind,...what's suzanne's plan?.Ü

Thank you very much!. =) God bless

It does get review every 3 years but I don't think the next review is just yet (2010 comes to mind)Information regarding Suzanne's plan can be found in the stickies on the main NCLEX forum
