I would like to know your thoughts. Are the boards harder than nursing school exams? My girlfriend and most of her classmates who just graduated in Dec 2007 and passed nclex on their 1st time, said that nursing school exams was harder than the boards, they also thought Kaplan was also harder than the boards. In their class it was 35 students and so far 33 have passed on the 1st time. Please give me feedback, I am interested in the graduates who took the boards. I don't care if passed or failed the boards, please let me know. Also, after you took the boards, how did you feel?

There's an 85% pass rate for first-timers on the NCLEX. It might appear harder due to the format, but if you pass, you pass.
