Just curious, How long did it take to finish your exam?

Also, Pearsonvue says there will be 15 non scored questions, are these intermixed throughout the test, or is it specified which ones are the non-scored ones?

Mixed in, there's no way to tell which ones they are.

I finished in 75 questions, took me just under an hour.

it took me 3 and 1/2 hours...had 265 questions....i didnt pass and waiting to take it again but i HIGHLY suggest finding a practice test with 265 questions just in case bc the most questions i did in one sitting while practicing was 200 and was not prepared to take a 265 question test

The most questions Ive done in one setting is 150, All my practice tests are 20-50 questions on average, the comprehensive being 150....what type of practice tests would have that many questions? Just curious, I probably dont have time to find one yet tho

i believe that kaplan had one...i didn't do it bc i didnt wanna have to practice sitting thru that many questions..which now i wish i would have!..you could even do 3 sets of 100 questions in a row..(or close to) just to get used to sitting down for that long....i didnt take a break either during nclex which i wish i would have....just dont expect to go in there and only have 75 questions bc it doesnt always work like that ya know....just have it in your mind set that you might have all 265 just so you dont get your hopes up like i did:)
