NCLEX: Remember the time when...

So, reading all of those threads regarding everyone's impressions after taking it. I have just realized that well, I do not know how many questions I had. I was so into it and busy not to let the anxiety take over that I didn't even think about counting them.

So my question is: how many questions did you have and which questions stuck with you? Why?

1. No clue (as previously explained)

2. EKG interpretations: wasn't my strongest point at all. I actually had just learned to see anything other than a graph, looking at one, a week before the test ( it is the MD's responsability to interpret EKG in France therefore not in the RN scope of practice, thus not taught in school).

What about you guys?

I had 75 and the ones that stood out to me without giving away was how to perform something that was pretty easy because I thought all the questions would be hard AND that most of my questions were priority/most important questions.

Mine cut off at 76 questions. I just kept getting a lot of select all that apply questions and it drove me nuts!!! Lol But I was told that if I kept getting select all that apply that I was doing well because those were the harder questions. Honestly, after the pain of nursing school the NCLEX (in my personal experience) was the easiest test I've ever taken.

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.
