To best answer your question I would say that it is similar in ways. I have taken the NCLEX several times and feel like the higher level questions, mastery 7,8 are very similar. The only problem is that passpoint does not have near enough select all that apply. Each time I have taken NCLEX I counted the number of SATA and there was an average of 15-20 percent with my last attempt having nearly 25%. Kaplan explains very well what "passing level questions" are and I feel as if passpoint has those but only when you get up to 7,8. Higher level questions are mainly questions that are "you get a phone call from 4 patient reports, who do you see first?" delegation questions, and triage situations. If you are seeing these types of questions periodically on NCLEX then you are doing well. I thought passpoint had some of the best rationals out there. If you are looking to supplement passpoint with something else I would suggest Hurst as there practice quizzes are the most like NCLEX and have just has many SATA as NCLEX.

Hello AllNurses
I recently registered for the PassPoint program (2 week trial) and took a practice NCLEX just to see where I am at. I got a 7.5 mastery level and it said that score is "equivalent to those who passed the NCLEX". I wanted to know, for those who have used this program and tested, are these questions similar to the NCLEX? Did your scores correlate with how you did on the NCLEX? I just want to ask before purchasing the program at the end of my trial.
Thanks!!
