I took the NCLEX-PN yesterday in IL and I'm beating myself up so badly over it... i went all the way to 205
i had absolutely NO hotspot ?s or drag&order
VERY LITTLE ob/peds, maybe a couple ?s each tops,
maybe a handful of med/I&O ?s (and i feel confident in that area, medical math is not hard to me), but a TON of pharmacology questions .. a substantial amount of SATA...
and pretty much everything else situation/priority "which client would you see first"... SO many of those
the way the NCLEX was explained to me by my review class instructor was that it preys on your weaknesses. supposedly if it gives you a ? in peds and you get it wrong, you will get another and so forth, causing you to be assaulted by a test that is in majority on your weakness?
i'm also scared because i never got any hotspot or drag&order, which makes me wonder if that's reserved for a higher difficulty level i never achieved?
i am SO scared especially because i know that the passing standards went up april of this year, but no one seems to know theoretically how far they've gone up. i took an ATI predictor calibrated to the OLD NLCEX, that gave me a 95% pass probability, when I only got question for question 65% of the questions correct... as far as i know there WAS NO predictor yet for the new NCLEX
basically what i'm asking is i've only read a couple posts of people saying they or someone else they know passed at 205q..... but those were in 2007.
i'm also reading a lot of current stories here with people saying they failed at 205 the first time, and passed now with only 85q.
has anybody or anybody you know passed AFTER april of 2008 with 205q? ? ? :crying2:
