How hard is the new NCLEX 2013 Test Plan

Marsdgrove33133 · May 21, 2013

Hey BorgQueen1701

I took the NCLEX last week and failed it. The "conference" questions are seriously like this. I dont want to give specifics However...

"You are a nurse at a nursing conference and the topic is about "&%$#@$%%^^"...what are they most likely going to focus on?"

Good luck

Mars

How or what did you guys use to study for the medications? I feel like from everything I have read about the current NCLEX maybe I shouldn't spend much time studying meds . . . Any suggestions ???

Select All That Apply Question. There is a multiple choice answer and there is multiple answers to the question.
For Ex: What color is an Apple?
A. Green
B. Red
C. Yellow
D. Purple
The answer is B.
However, with a SATA question it will go like this:
What colors make up the color green?
A. Yellow
B. Blue
C. Red
D. Purple
The correct answer here would be both A and Yellow.
The test question will usually say Select all that apply or multiple answer.

Blue makes green as well. Blue and yellow make green.

Blue makes green as well. Blue and yellow make green.

That's what I meant. That's why I put both. I accidentally left out B.

Actually your first question could be a SATA, there are GREEN (granny smith) apples, red appled and yellow(yellow delicious) apples :)

Yea it's like this, "A nurse is coordinating a staff conference about CHF complications, which statement by the staff nurse needs follow up?" And you have to pick the which statement is incorrect.

OMG so glad I'm not the only one. I also wanted to say the answer for the apple question isn't B (red) if you look in my fridge.

I only eat Granny Smiths. They're definitely green.

I took the test today, had 75 questions and got the good pop up. I had a ton of SATA, conference, no EKG, a few lab questions, and a few regular multiple choice. Good luck everyone, I just used the Davis NCLEX book and CD to prep, it seemed to have worked!

All of these posts about the large amount of SATA questions are freaking me out!! I am doing well on all of the practice tests I'm taking, but none of them have the amount of SATA questions that so many people seem to be saying is actually on the NCLEX, and I miss a lot of these type due to ALWAYS leaving off 1 option I should have chosen... Ughhh, getting nervous!!!
