How long to answer each question on NCLEX????

Published

Anybody has an estimate, of how long it should take you to answer a question in Nclex. I know we have a 6 hr time-frame, but how long did it take YOU (Those who passed) to complete NCLEX. This would give a hint on how well prepared I am.

I personally went into my boards with my mind set on 75 questions so I took my time with the first 75 :typing. It took me a little less than 2 hrs to answer 75 questions and I passed. I'd recommend 1-1.5 minutes a question, but if you feel pretty confident and very prepared then focus on the first 75 questions bc if you do well on those then you don't have to go through the agony of answering more questions:bugeyes:. Keep in mind that the pre-test tutorial and breaks count towards your 6 hrs. You can actually dl the pre-test tutorial from the PearsonVue website. I did this the night before I sat for the NCLEX and then skipped it the day of my test:wink2:.

I am going into the test with the notion that i am taking the entire 265 questions. I figure I will answer 45 questions per hour...this equates to 45questions X 6hours = 270 questions.

I know there is 265 questions butto make it easy I just said 45 question.

I plan on doing 45 questions per hour and look at my time once in awhile.
