okay i'm hoping that someone has the answer to my questions. i took the nclex and failed for the 2nd time on dec. 31st. i had a lot of priority questions. since i had a lot of those questions in particular does that mean that i was getting them wrong? what is considered a easy level question (do we consider it easy because we know the answet to the question)? help clear this up for me because i am so confused and i really want to pass this test on next month.

Typically, although i'm not absolutely certain, the higher level questions include questions more relative to "critical thinking" (prioritization, delegation, etc.); Whereas, the "easier" level questions are basic recall knowledge, comprehension, etc. You do make a good point on the issue of a question being considered "easy" only because one may know the answer. That's something to think about. I have taken it more than once too and I am currently waiting on my results as I speak. Anyway, keep your head up, regroup, and press forward. With God's help... you WILL PASS! :)

I took the exam 3 years ago and I mostly got prioritization, delegation,some drugs but no calculations and I stopped at 75. Luckily I passed. Just do your review 100 questions a day, I focused mostly on Saunders. Good luck! :monkeydance:
