* everytime you get a correct answer the questions gets harder....
question 1. how many difficulty levels are there in an nclex exam..?
3 levels?? easy, moderate, difficult?
4 levels?? easy, normal, moderate, difficult? and so on....
* how do they determine if a question is easy, moderate, or difficult??? one can be difficult for you and very easy for me....
OR they determine it in the 15 unscored exam??? if the general population (nclex test takers ) got it more correct then its considered easy... and if not its considered difficult.
* they say that if you get a prioritization type question then its considered high level question... i think not all.. same goes to the computations( i guess some of it would be moderate difficult) i didnt have any computations in my exam..[*
and do you think knowledge based questions are all easy to moderate??? or it can also be difficult????
i just took the nclex exam 2 weeks ago and still waiting for the result... and i felt like the last 20 questions were mostly knowledge based/ PRIO... and most of them i could still remember.
after the test i felt like i passed... but now i think i failed its like its too good to be true to have easy questions.. i have medications s/e and adverse effect that are so common. or maybe because i have read and memorized it.. and actually i thought that the exam is not so difficult( few minutes after the exam)... i think its a bad sign..
i studied 8-10 hours a day... sometime it would go for 14 hours.. 7 days a week with no rest day.. answered almost all available CD-rom questionnaires and books ( saunders compre, Q and A and alternate formats. ( finished them all ) and studied in a review center . i think it would be devastating for me if i fail...
if i fail im planning to read nursing journals... localy and internationally published, past and present issues... i had a few questions in the exam that cant be found in the book.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I just found out I passed yesterday-I thought I had failed because I felt I didn't know most of it-really hard questions-mostly priority and sata, but I passed with 85-whew. Now we can get jobs!!

Congratulations Joni! :yeah::yeah:Any advise for us, taking the nclex soon? Study tips? Review materials used?
kaplan, saunders , la charity... and practice lots of prio questions... i think questions in lacharity are a lot harder than nclex.. and know the test takign strategies of kaplan.
hi and thankyou! I used saunders edition 3 for study although I didn't find the questions to be as they were presented in the book. But I suppose that helped because I did pass on the first try with 85 good luck to you all. you will pass.
Thankyou!! I studies saunders edition 3 ALOT-and although the questions on NCLEX were presented in different way, I believed that helped as I passed 1st time with 85 q's. Good luck you will do it too! Just relax and think about each question as it comes-critical thinking
congrats pls did you do the questiontrainer if you did pls what were your scores and what are the strategy of kaplan that you were refering to.did you finish the lacharity book cover to cover and would you say priority wise it was similar to the nclex
