Took the NCLEX on June 3rd and passed w/75 questions. After taking my test and speaking to many of my classmates who have also taken their NCLEX, here's my advice.
1. Don't pay any attention to what type of questions (SATA, hard, easy etc.) you get because every test is so different it just doesn't matter.
2. Be prepared for a test unlike any prior nursing test you've taken. Its hard to explain why this is, but when you finish you'll understand.
3. You will miss a lot of questions. You will see stuff you've never studied. You might get a give me or two if your lucky.
4. If this was a test in school you would fail miserably, its not, remind yourself of this every time you start to doubt yourself.
5. Many and I mean many of these questions they don't expect you to know the answer. Just use the processes you been taught i.e. ABC, Maslow, etc. and you will be all right
6. If you go past 75 questions try to look at it as starting over. There not sure you are above the passing level yet, you weren't when you started either!
