Next Gen NCLEX

kayji, BSN · Apr 1, 2021

The sample questions I had were more like a case study than the regular (stand alone) questions. There were a bunch of questions about one patient scenario with history, symptoms, lab results, etc. There are similarly formatted practice questions in ATI's question bank, and maybe on the NCLEX already, but the sample questions had even more detail. I didn't think they were harder, just different. I guess you get some context from the series of questions that you don't with the current NCLEX format.

I have to aggree... they weren’t harder if you have been going to your clinicals and paying attention on what your instructors have been telling you about appropriate documentation and charting and how to phrase things there.... the concept they want you to identify is still the same, just presented differently.
I thought personally, it felt more like the way actual Nursing IS and what it looks like. everyday. on shift.

I have to say... if they are going to reformat it in this way, a lot more first time testers are going to pass with flying colors than they have been able to report in the past....

If my whole 145 question exam experience leading up to this research experiment had instead been LIKE the research exp. ? I wouldn’t gave failed it again.
