How much time is alotted per question on the NCLEX?

Published

Just this year, they cut BACK the time we have to complete an exam to one-minute per question, claiming that is the "academic standard" for the NCLEX-RN.

I thought that 6 hours was alotted for the NCLEX-RN and the max was 265 questions. That comes out to about 4 hours if you calculated it per minute.

Just looking for the right answer.

You have a maximun of 6 hours to complete 265 questions. 5 hours if you take your alotted brake times.

Ok, so it's a little over 1.10 minutes...ok...thanks for the answer!
