I heard they were making the NCLEX harder in January 2019

Updated:   Published

Last week my teacher was telling our class about the upcoming changes to the NCLEX. She said that in January 2019 they are modifying the NCLEX, making it harder and adding 30% more select all that apply questions. Select all that apply question are usually the most often missed questions on the NCLEX. Has anyone heard this, or have any other information?

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to revive this thread because I am most likely taking the NCLEX later this year. Do we have any other updates or new information on what the changes are to the NCLEX this year? Thank you!

I took my NCLEX in September and had the experimental format questions when I finished. Confirm they were in case study format and made me very glad I wouldn’t have to take the exam in that format. I didn’t take the questions that seriously because I knew they wouldn’t effect me. The way the questions built on top of each other is nerve racking though. You can’t go back and change answers but later questions will having you doubting your earlier answers and just gets in your head.

I graduated in Dec, and we were told in school that the new test will come out this March and that it will be harder, so our instructors were encouraging us to take NCLEX before then.

Hello! The current Test Plan is effective until March. So April they'll probably be applying the case study form of exam.
