NCLEX-RN Timing RE: Per Question

Published

I've read the NCLEX information in full but have a question about TIME PER QUESTION.

I realize including breaks, the tutorial, the exam, the pretest questions, etc you have 6 hours.

BUT: If you sit at a question for XX seconds/minutes, will it automatically count it wrong even if you answered right?

A Professor of mine once said that if you take that long to answer a question (I think her example was something like 90 or 120/150 seconds) the exam won't alert you/move forward but whatever the answer it will be counted "wrong".

If anyone WHO IS POSITIVE of this information can reply I would much appreciate. I sit for the NCLEX next week so I doubt there is enough time to contact NCSBN.

Thank you & Good luck to all :)

i recently took my test and i know there was one question that i spent so much time on and i didnt get any kind of warning that said move on or anything like that. there were a few questions that i wanted to make sure i got correct. but if u answer a question correctly no matter how much time you spend on it i dont see why they would count it wrong.

yeah that's the information I've basically read so far which still makes me a bit nervous. I take in Wednesday. It's funny because unless I would've emailed the Nursing Boards weeks ago, I doubt Ill ever know the answer to this Q, haha :)

You got incorrect information. But that does not mean that a person should spend too much time on one question. Move on at a reasonable pace.
