1) State doesn't matter. NCLEX is a national exam and therefore taking the test in California or Florida does not change the nature of the exam, the difficulty level, or the likelihood you will pass.
2) The number of questions on the exam does not matter unless you got 75 questions on the NCLEX-RN. If you got 75 questions, it means that either you were consistently below the passing standard and therefore failed the exam or that you were above the passing standard at least 50% of the time and therefore passed the exam.
3) Running out of time or getting 256 questions does not mean you failed. Getting 256 questions mean that you were consistently around the passing standard the entire length of the exam and either you passed or failed.
4) The types of questions you got, such as number of select all that apply questions cannot be used to judge whether you passed or failed. There can be alternative format questions of all levels.
5) The most accurate way to know that you passed to exam is to see your license number posted on your state board of nursing's website. The Pearson View Trick cannot be considered accurate.
Hello people, can anyone tell me what book or study (practice) questions helped them the most? I have Kaplan Question Trainer, Lacharity Priority and Delegation, and Davis practice questions (1200, but about ten years old). Any suggestions. Thanks . Also out of school for almost a year, I had some work, family, and personal things going on. So now just getting my head on straight and I'm worried. maybe taking the test at the end of March or beginning of April. 1st time taking the test.
Hello people, I know this was addressed in the original post but I have a question. I'm currently in a BSN program in Illinois and would like to take my NCLEX in NY upon graduation later this year. I was told by a friend that there might be certain topics on the NY exams that I may not know.. Please is there any truth to this? And do you have an suggestions on how to study for NY NCLEX or the NCLEX in general?

Not true at all. The NCLEX is exactly the same nationwide. There may be additional requirements for licensure in NY, but there will be no difference in what is covered on NCLEX.
