NCLEX LPN/LVN Exam - C.A 2016

Nursing Students NCLEX

I just took my LPN / LVN exam. It stopped at 86 question. I've read alot of articles that it was a good sign coz the more questions you get the more chance that you are below passing grade. On the other side I just did really bad that the CAT figured that I am really not doing well. I've read articles from the past years like 2013-2010. I wonder if this "notion" is still up to the present 2016? I just took mine this month March 2016 for the first time. I enjoyed taking the exam as if I am just answering a review practice test. But I only got like maybe 5 SATA and Delegation / Priority Questions. I can't figure if my question is getting harder which I heard is a good sign. I have some diet food questions that I think was easy but still not sure with my answers. I felt like I don't know nothing at that time and kept on guessing for like 50% of the exam. Does having only 5 SATA test a bad sign? I guess? I know a lot of test format changed for the past years. I heard that every year the passing % gets higher and higher. Also after 24hrs of my test I tried the PVT. Hoping that I can get a good pop up. Was I too early to do it? I've seen some videos and articles but it was years ago. Does anyone tried the PVT this year 2016? is it still accurate? I had a bad feeling that I failed. coz the payment has been received and on process and they emailed me the receipt that's $200 again!!! It's just so sad that California does not participate on Quick result. Need to wait from 4-6wks. Geeezz!! thats to long!!! Well I am starting to study again and hope for the best. Any comment on this is highly appreciated.

Thank you mvgrace88. I have not taken the exam yet, but that is what I am working on most is improving my critical thinking, nursing judgment and prioritization, which from many have agreed is most important to pass the NCLEX.

So you did pay again? Same here. I'm just thinking maybe the Board don't buy the PVT anymore or .. I don't know. I have a full time job and didn't study harder. So I have a strong feeling that I failed. I don't know why CA don't participate in Quick result.

they said Saunders is good, but the only thing that pushes me to take the exam was in stood to the principle of if I did passed the Philippine nursing exam which is 500 items for 2days manual , why not try the LVN? all was stocked knowledge.

Before the exam PRAY ask that God will give you the light and peace of mind that you will be able to answer the questions.

1. Do not over analyzed the problem

2. Never question the question just answer what is being asked.

3. do the elimination technique

4. Do not jumped into the choices, read the question carefully, don't look into the choices think what to do, then look at the choices you will find the answer.

A day before the exam or 2, do not study you should relax to watch a movie. Too

much information will block out your mind during the exam. That how I passed the Philippine board exam.

Practice Q&A.

I hope you passed!! Stay positive

i also took the nclex this month on the 9th to be exact. Stopped at 85 questions. Majority select all that apply and lots of priority. Maybe like 2 drag and drop. Did the pvt and got the good pop up. I'm hoping it's still accurate since it was for all of my friends that have taken the nclex. Now to wait for the results in the mail since I'm in ca and no quick results here*sigh*
