different testing sites-NCLEX RN level of difficulty?

NCLEX is nation wide...it's the same from the East coast to the West coast. The number & type of questions are random, but it all comes from the same NCLEX q-bank. Good luck to you!

Hi, try to stay calm and read the question carefully, think safety, wear comfortable clothing, pratice questions but also read your book. Have you got any test taking tips such as; look for key words, client specific factors, look for problem/behavior? I used Drexel test taking tips and Saunders strategies for succes.

There isn't. The centers do not write the exams, so this wouldn't make sense. NCSBN creates the exam.

I am taking the NCLEX RN on Tuesday, May 22 and I am getting nervous. My question may sound silly to some of you, but I have heard this many times over from people who have taken then nclex rn and nclex pn: some people who took their boards in a certain location say how hard the test was, the others who took the test in a different city say they couldn't believe how easy the test was. The people who took the "easy" test have all passed, but some of the people with the "hard" test failed. This just does not make much sense to me.....of course I am taking the test where it is supposed to be the most difficult! It just seems like this can't be all coincidental....Has anyone ever heard this? I need some help here!

GOOD LUCK LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DID AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE XX

what percentage do you need to pass many thanks di x

Everyone gets 50% right and 50% wrong. If you start to do better than 50%, the questions get harder until you return to 50%. If you start to get less than 50% right, the questions get easier until you get back to 50%.

For a pass/fail result, the computer looks at the difficulty level of the questions you needed to stay at 50%.
