Negative marking

[shanugnm]

I am appearing for CGFNS in July 2013. I am preparing for the exam. But i can`t find any where the latest format of the exam like how many questions, exam duration etc. latest info is no where present. I searched a lot in google...but of no help.

a) can any body share the latest info about CGFNS ?

b) and also tell me about Negative markings in both CGFNS & NCLEX-RN ?

c) Is there any differences in the subject for the preparation of CGFNS & NCLEX ...i can`t find any book on CGFNS...so , that`s why i am studying Saunders comprehensive review book for CGFNS exam ...is this enough or any thing extra i should study for CGFNS ? Is this book is sufficient for CGFNS ?

Thank you

Looking at the website, it sounds like they send you the study guide once you send in your paperwork/fee for the exam. Good luck!

yeah you get a study guide and then you can prepare but you can buy any nclex review book as the questions are same ..........ie related to nursing topic and exam is similar to nclex its just that you have to answer all 180 questions i gave mine in 2012

Hello thanks for your reply. can you tell me Duration of the exam...and about negative marking in CGFNS ?

so in total 180 questions right ? is it paper based or internet based ? why i am asking is because in the study guide that CGFNS sent to me ...they gave like one model test at the end of the book which contains only 75 questions...you mentioned it as 180 questions...That`s why just to clarify i am asking. Really thanks for your reply.
