can somebody tell me what is exam cram

runpindertoor · Aug 14, 2009

i found out yesterday that i passed.
anyway, back to yo question.how cram works is after taking the 3adaptive drill tests several times (can be up to 1000 qs per test) and passing above 75% for test 1, you ll be automatically directed to test 2 where you got to do loads more qs, some of the qs keep popping up but thats how cram drills you,and when you get 85%and higher ,it takes you to test 3 where you got to get 95%and higher.my advice is when you go to the historic analysis, look at how many questions unanswered you got left and just attemp to answer them all.when you ve done all this, you then will take the simulated test. by this time, cram already knows your weak areas and it will test you on these.
during testing, if you reach a passing mark at 75 or whatever number of qs, the exam ends, just like the real nclex.but for now concentrate on taking as many adaptive drill tests as you can cos there s thousands of qs to answer. only when you get three passes (you will see yo scores in the historic analysis)thats when you take the simulated test.
i hope this helps

congratulation:yeah:

I used the Exam Cram book and CD. The CD was great for drilling questions, and it does have a simulated Exam mode that will cut you off after you have "passed"

I did not complete all of the tests that it tells you to before taking the simulated exam, and it cut me off at 45 questions stating I passed. So unfortunately the number of questions doesn't really add up to the NCLEX. Very helpful study tool though..

I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions after about an hour and 15 mins

To be honest, I didn't really use the book. It did have a GREAT cheat sheet that you could tear out, for things that most people forget (had drugs and lab values and a couple of other things). I brought it with me to the test center and looked it over in the car before I went in.

I mainly used the CD because I wanted to focus on one question at a time. I had the Kaplan book, the Lippincott Q&A book, and 2 Exam Cram books.. One with content and one with just questions. I didn't end up looking at Exam Cram until the week before my test, so I can't help much with what is in the book, sorry!
