I had a question on how the NCLEX works. I had originally thought that it throws out questions for you regaurding the 7 catagories in nursing, and with every wrong answer, the next question on that same topic gets easier, and with every right answer, the question on that same section next time around gets harder. And I thought that if they give you the easiest question on a topic and you miss it, your test shuts off cuz you failed that section (and in the NCLEX, you fail one quesions your out. But if you get the harder questions right in all the sections, that is when your computer shuts off and cuz you passed. Can you correct me if im wrong about this???

Hi just letting everyone know I passed !! It shut off at 85 questions. I freaked out, I thought for sure I had fluncked. It was aweful, not to scare you people that have not taken the test but it was very nerve racking for me, but I guess it all worked out. The freakiest feeling is when the screen goes black...WOW! I still can't believe i passed. I am finally an LPN.
I start classes next week for the RN program I am really looking forward to generals again it will be a nice break from all the nursing stuff. I have my own beauty salon so I am thinking of doing hair part time and maybe later when i get into school for a bit i may do weekends doing nursing.
So good luck to all you people taking your tests and congrats to all you that have passed NCLEX it is a grat accomplishment that you have all made i guess i can include myself in that. Yay Yay!!! I am on cloud nine right now!! :monkeydance:
God Bless

What i have read is that it starts with the easy questions and every time you answer it correctly it goes to a harder one. I'm not so sure about catagories, but the least amount of questions that you get is 85 and the most you can get is 205 that is for the NCLEX PN exam. If it shuts off at 85 it can either mean you failed or passed. when you get more than 85 questions it is still trying to figure out if you are going to be a safe nurse. I hope this helps you with your questions. This has been what I have read anyway. After taking the test is all i know is it's a different kind of test and you have to know the core content of nursing ( the basics) to be able to analize each question to be able to answer them. Good Luck!
