Are there web sites with sneak peeks for NCLEX questions?

Published

It appears that computer tests are being breached more frequently. I am wondering if this is the case for the NCLEX. I don't really believe that there are because they must realize how important that exam is for public protection. But on the other hand, I would have said the same of the GMAT test and yet they are experiencing serious breaches. Does anyone know of websites that contain sneak peeks for NCLEX questions?

Crackdown on China GMAT Cheating

Business school applicants who use Chinese Web sites to get a sneak peek at GMAT questions are having their scores revoked and being banned from retaking the test

By Alison Damast

Students who have tried to get a leg up on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) by visiting Web sites carrying illegally obtained test-preparation material may soon come to regret their actions. The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is aggressively pursuing more and more Web sites that illegally provide copyrighted GMAT materials to test-takers, as well as using high-tech gadgets to catch "proxy" test-takers who are hired to take the exam in place of applicants, the organization says.

We have seen people lose license or NCLEX results because it was found that they was copying questions in the test center. Have even seen report of a test center in Korea being closed down because of the level of cheating and worries of what people was doing.

I dont think the risk of loosing one's license and the amount of reprimand you'll get is worth even looking for such "sneak peek" questions. Not only unethically, its also degrading to oneself, do you think you can practice knowing to yourself you cheated. I am just throwing my two cent to it.

one the side note: those "sneak question" would most probably removed from que bank already, you think BON is not on top of this? just saying.

The secret to passing NCLEX the first time is to study through out school and practice thousands of NCLEX questions.

Yes, I did say thousands.

practice kaplan question bank in my opinion they are harder than the actual nclex so if you score high on kaplan you will pass nclex.

I know you are nervous and just trying to prepare yourself as best as possible.

Good Luck......

EEEkk!! I don't even think the consequences could ever merit a gain.. all that $$ you paied for school, only to be flushed if cought. I thin Kaplan is wonderful.. get a pass due to studying and trying your hardest.. that will mean the most and make you the proudest. Just my thought as someone who failed the first time. I would never cheat, then I would always wonder if I were worthy???

Thanks for your answers. It appears that nobody knows whether web sites or chatrooms exist which contain actual NCLEX questions.

Silverdragon: Thank so much for your response. You have indicated that you have seen nurses lose their license due to cheating. That means they received their license first (presumably after cheating) but then later they were prosecuted for cheating and lost their license? There must be a public record of those cases. Would you have a reference?

As to the Korean computer test center that was shut down due to cheating, is there a reference for that and has that center reopened now? There are many Koreans who did not cheat? In Korea, did they have a web site or chatroom disclosing live NCLEX questions? If cheating took place at US centers, were they shut down?

From my original post, I see that the GMAT test had sneek peak sites based in China. How is it that the NCLEX is so safe from the same fate?

Thanks, Joyfull

Each state will have their own record of nurses that lost their licenses and for what reason. You would really have to check yourself

Regarding Korea there was a thread here discussing it a couple of years ago and I am sure if you do a google search for Korea NCLEX test leak you will find plenty of hits, I did but can't post as blog sites and against terms of service
