Breaks during NCLEX

The computer forces you to take a break at 2 hours. Most say to break after an hour.......

All breaks count towards you time - once the clock starts ticking....it doesn't stop until you are done or you run out of time.

I took 75 questions in 45 mins. (including the tutorial and the optional survey at the end). The questions are WAY shorter that most review books - most were 1 sentence, maybe 2. They didn't dilly dally either - they flat out asked you what they wanted and things like best, most, first were all in bold.

Thanks!

You sound like me -- I do 150 questions in just over an hour -- (Did I mention I need to slow down??)

Anyway -- glad to know that the "important" words are in bold -- one thing that is intimidating to me is taking the NCLEX on a computer -- I LOVE writing all over my exam -- highlighting important words, jotting down thoughts - flipping from one question to the next - being able to go back --

So the whole computer thing has me a little freaked (just one more thing to add to my anxiety!!) :crash_com:

Breathe - Breathe - Breathe - okay I'm better now

Well, my test shut off at 75 and i was going to take a break aftr 75, but since it shut off I didn't get a chance.

It didn't take me that long too and of course I freaked out.

THey do however give you a dry erase board so u can write allover it during the test. So maybe that will make you slow down? ( if you write on them) I did that.. it slowed me down a tad..

But you can take break anytime if you really need to the only thing is that it counts against your time

Luv
