quick question

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

does anybody double checked their answers after the nclex test? found some of their answers were wrong and still pass the test?

i maybe having severe anxiety right now but thats what i have been doing and i know it was wrong and the wait is so difficult. i found many of my answers were right but many were wrong as well. sigh... with 77-78 questions, iam having 50/50 chances of passing or failing,again!

altho, i am sure that 6 out of 8 medicine questions that i answerd were right. 1 with picture of a guy (new to me) you need to tell what he is doing or so, 4 with select all, 1 with a pop up table to view more patient data, who to see first, 2 who to phone first, 2 drug calculations, 1 delegation, 4 who to share beds with. drugs are tricky cuz it doesnt say what patient is it for to give you a hint! 6 questions on maternity nursing and 1 question that all the answers were right confused me what to choose...sigh...and 4 to 6 questions on psyche.etc etc

ps: hope i am not violating nclex rules. i am not sharing nclex exact questions. i am just citing the kinds of questions that i have encountered and every test takers will have a different kind/type of questions whether hard ones or easy ones.

last question could be try out question too....so i think it not necessary to have last question right, thats what we were told in class...

The last question is never an unscored question. Those are placed near the beginning of the exam. Sometimes the answer to the last question does not matter though, depending on how you are doing.

Basically, the computer must determine whether you have met the passing standard or not, and it has 265 questions to do so (205 for PN). If, after 75+ questions (85 for PN), the computer makes a decision with 95% certainty, then the questions stop. When you get to 265 questions, the 95% certainty rule goes away and the computer makes its best decision.

So say you've completed 264 questions and the computer thinks you are passing but it is not 95% sure - to make it simple, let's say it's 80% sure. You aren't going to fail even if you miss the last one, but it went all the way to 265 because the exam can't stop early unless it arrives at 95% certainty. (Unfortunately it works the same way if the computer is mostly certain that you are failing.)
