Nclex RN June 2011 lets study together.

Published

Hello to everyone

Everyone is welcome to join this group. lets study together share views and give each other support and encouragement.

Who had passed exam your views, encouragement, advice would be appreciated.

By God grace we will pass this exam.

I am doing content write now. I did questions before I did not pass . So now going to concentrate more on content.

Any advise or tips .

can anyone tell us how the new testing rate changed? i mean whats the passing rate now??

NCSBN actually posts real-time (or close to it) statistics on NCLEX passing rates, broken down by month, year, and type of program.

You seem to be asking about what it takes to pass the test, though. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, the passing standard is measured in a unit called a "logit." In April 2010, the passing standard was raised to -0.16 logits. This represents a "line" above which you must stay in order to be considered passing.

Check out the website I link and go through all the sections; it will tell you more about NCLEX than you ever wanted to know.

Offense taken.

I gave you a link to actual NCBSN info regarding NCLEX pass rates and explained NCLEX criteria for passing the test- a standard of above -0.16 logits.

None of that is incorrect or not factual. What exactly is it I'm wrong about?

I'll throw my two cents in, too. Frankly, your question was a bit ambiguous, so I'll try to answer all three versions of your question that I can think of.

Possibility #1 (and most likely):

The pass rate you ask about in a previous post is "How many questions do I need to get right to pass?" Is that the question you are asking? If so...

You can't answer that with computer adaptive testing because the testing environment is designed for you to get 50% right and 50% wrong.

How does it do that?

A level of difficulty is assigned to each question. If you get a question right, the next question is more difficult. If you get a question wrong, the next question is easier. It keeps adjusting the level of difficulty based on your right or wrong response until you are most likely getting right/getting wrong 50% of the questions. At that point, your competency level must be must be above the "passing line" with 95% certainty determined by NCSBN. As the PP stated, that "passing line" was raised a bit in 2010.

ETA: If it shuts off after 75 questions, you are either clearly above the passing line or clearly below the passing line. If you keep going, you are on the cusp, and more questions are needed to determine your ability.

Possibility #2:

The pass rate, i.e. how many passed out of all who took it, for US-educated test takers is at 89% for the first quarter of 2011. 92% for those in diploma programs, 91% for those in BSN programs, and 88% for those in ADN programs.

Possibility #3:

What has changed? The mix of questions in the test plan. All the questions in the NCLEX bank are distributed as described in the chart below. From what I understand, the newest version has increased the percentage of questions from Management of Care and one other category that I can't remember. Possibly pharm?

Safe and Effective Care Environment

..Management of Care 16-22%

..Safety and Infection Control 8-14%

Heath Promotion and Maintenance 6-12%

Psychosocial Integrity 6-12%

Physiological Integrity

..Basic Care and Comfort 6-12%

..Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies 13-19%

..Reduction of Risk Potential 10-16%

..Physiological Adaptation 11-17%

two types of isolation precautions: (1) [color=#1d4994]standard precautions, which synthesize major features of earlier practices of [color=#1d4994]universal precautions and isolation of moist body substances; and (2) [color=#1d4994]transmission-based precautions, based on routes of transmission, designed to be used together with the standard precautions, divided into the three subgroups of [color=#1d4994]airborne, [color=#1d4994]droplet, and [color=#1d4994]contact precautions. these are identified for disorders associated with a high index of suspicion for infection.
