Over Analyze on the NCLEX

[RNfindingherway, BSN, RN]

Hi Everyone, Congrats to all those who passed the NCLEX and continue pushing forward all of us who are still vying to pass the NCLEX. My question is how do I stop OVER ANALYZED ON THE NCLEX? The times I took the NCLEX, when I see the questions they sometimes so simple but I think they are trying to trick me. How do I get pass this so I can pass the NCLEX and move on with my life? Thank you for understanding.

Are you doing practice questions? You need to be sure that you are understanding exactly what the question is asking... look for key words, and don't second guess your gut reactions.

I say try Kaplan. Get the book. It shows how break down what nclex is asking so they cant trick you

I agree. Kaplan helped me not to "read into the question/answer choices". I find the guided review of questions from Kaplan very helpful. They are set of videos wherein Barbara will present a question and later will discuss how to pick the best answer.

It's hard not to over analyze a question, but honestly to just have to take the question for what it is, if they ask what's 1+1 you know the answer is 2! Also when you read a question over and over again, you tend to forget what the question is really asking because your creating false scenarios in your head, I did it all the time, you should read Kaplan review and strategies it really helps with trying to answer questions!! Goodluck
