NCLEX New Format 2020

[bitter_betsy, BSN]

Can someone point me to accurate advice regarding the NCLEX format between May and July of 2020? Some things I have found said that the format will not change by then, some says it will be testing questions. The ATI website says they need to better assess clinical judgement but I have not found anything definitive that says wether the test will be any different or not. I'm already starting to do practice questions, but I want to study appropriately if I'm going to have to do fill in the blank and what nots.

Any and all info is appreciated!! Thank you!!

The NCLEX is revised every 3 years. April of 2019 NCLEX started the next 3 year cycle so you would be taking the same format that I just took in June. Any info being posted now would apply to your test next summer.

Ok - so we are actually free from all this everything they are talking about? This is good to know. I started doing NCLEX questions during first semester. I don't want to waste time studying between now and then doing the wrong thing. I'm trying to do between 25 and 50 questions a day now. The rationales help me more than anything!!

Thanks for the info!

I'm not sure when the new format would be released, however from what I understand it sucks bad. Pretty much asking you to be a Dr and diagnose patients. I've seen some practice questions released from the NCLEX exam.
