I would not base my studying on that......I took my test today and felt like i got hit from every angle...I had 75 questions and felt that the test was like the prentice Hall review and rational book and Kaplan. I heard it was like saunders and i also studied saunders but i would not agree with that....my advice would to do 150 questions and select all topics cause that is how nclex will be

Any of the mods know the updated 2009 percentage of test questions that will be on NCLEX? In Saunders, I have one that's printed from 2005 and I was wondering if the percentage of test questions has changed since then? Please let me know if you know this for sure or anyone else knows this? Thanks
SOURCE: Saunders - edition 3 (orange book) Page 5 chapter 1 :: I'm referring to CLIENT NEEDS AND THE PERCENTAGE OF TEST QUESTIONS!! (box that's highlighted with a gray shade)
BTW- I'm asking this question because so I can focus strongly only on those chapters with higher percentage of test questions that will be on the NCLEX!!
EDIT: I think I answered my own question lol & I did a lil research of my own. I guess 2008 is the recent update from NCSBN site. FAO: mods u can close this thread if u wish 2 do so.
