My experience with the Nclex RN 75 questions

Published

Hi, I just took the NCLEX RN exam today, which happens to be my birthday, and it shut off after 75 questions. I did the PVT and got the "good" pop up so i'm hoping that I passed. I scored an 85 on the ATI predictor which meant that I would have a 99% chance of passing the NCLEX. I did not trust that so I answered thousands (two thousand and something) of questions on a program called prep u. I also studied the ATI NCLEX review book. As much as I hate to admit it, ATI seemed similar to the NCLEX. We were required to do ATI the last semester of Nursing school and I hated it, but I am glad I did it. It really prepared me for the NCLEX. I had about 15 sata, 3 math, 1 graphic and the rest multiple choice. The sata questions were not that bad if you looked at them like true/false statements in relationship to the question. Hope this helps someone. Oh, don't freak out if they throw drugs in there that you never heard of...you can kind of guess what they are for.

okay so I took my test today and it shut off at 75 as well. I guess my brain decided to take the 2 hour route to finish the 75 questions. I got a little bit of everything, about 10 select all that apply, 8 calculations (oh and I was going crazy about submitting answers with whole numbers until I looked it up = no decimals round up which I did! whew), and the rest were an even mix of infection control, priority, and easy questions. I'm worried about my last 3 though, SATA then 2 easy questions. Test shut off so fast I can't remember what they were about. So now I've downgraded back to nervous wreck. Praying that my prayers were answered. I got 64% or above on my q trainers.

I passed I got the pop up, I refreshed the screen and tried re-registering like 5 times. It came up everytime lol. The 75 question shut off is torture, I was more stressed out after the test then I was during the test. I didn't feel immediate relief from the test being over at all. Now I can sleep, I mean really sleep, for the first time in 3 years. Good luck to everyone who will be waiting for the almighty pop up, and a special shout out to my 75 question RN's.

I honestly thought the time AFTER the test was worse than the test itself. Mine shut off at 75 also, took the test yesterday. I was very composed during the test but fell apart after, had to have my friend check for me haha. 75 ftw!

You should do the Kaplan Q trainers, they are free and are roaming around if you search for them. There are 7 Q trainers, they all have a lot of questions.

I just took the NCLEX yesterday, and I would say that Lacharity priorization, delegation book would also be helpful. They have taugh questions about priorization and the NCLEX had a lot of those, priorization and also which patients would you put with whom, so is good to know about which patients need to be on airborne precautions as opposed to droplet precausions, etc. If you get me your email address, I can e-mail you the Q trainers and an NCLEX study guide that is going around.

Lol, I don't think it allows me to send or receive PMs because of my very low postings in the past year or so that I've been a member :)
