Failed NCLEX 3 times
READ saunders and uworld. Practice questions, nclex is really hard for me coz I only used Saunders. My husband used uworld and I could say it will help you to understand question. I passed nclex for the 1st try at 75 questions for 2hrs and 10 minutes. I read the questions word by word and I did not care if there is 265 questions which is wrong lol. Be patient and practice more it will help you. Don't loose hope dear! ?

NCLEX SHUTS OFF AT 75 ITEMS
Hi guys! Took my NCLEX exam this month and I felt the disappointment like every test takers that was writing in this site. I would say that I felt 50-50 after taking the exam at 75 questions, I was quite happy I finished at 75 but unsure if I PASSED or not. I had 16 SATA's, 3 drag and drop, lot of prioritization's and 1 image. The contents of my exam are about infection control, OB, PAEDS, community health, med surg, delegation and research. I was waiting for any computations and simple questions but literally I have not answered any easy questions (like side effects, positioning). I only used Saunders Comprehensive Review book 5th edition and uploaded the pdf in google, downloaded it on my phone to review. I also used the Saunders Exam app in Apple store to use as my review questions and THAT'S IT. I haven't use Uworld, Kaplan etc. just SAUNDERS. On the day of the exam, I did not bring any food or drinks because I was assuming to finish at 75 and thought I can go outside to buy some but they said that was not allowed, they are strict on their rules. So the stress and anxiety was added because I need to finish fast and if not I will be hungry on the next 265 questions. I answered the questions word by word so I took my time for 2hours and 10 minutes to be exact and answered the survey/research for 20 minutes. I can say that if I go along with 265 questions, 6 hours was not enough for me. I went home wondering if I will pass or not, I even told my mom I might fail but she said it's fine as long as you gave your best. I must say I am quite confident that I will since I googled some of my questions and my answer was mostly correct, I literally memorized the questions. I want to RECOMMEND to use Uworld because it will help you to answer difficult question and will train you on how to attack this unusual questions which I find hard to answer because I only used Saunders which only asks simple and based on the book type of questions. I would say that NCLEX asks common sense/brain draining type of questions because it consists of prioritization's, I don't know but that is what I felt. Working in a hospital based setting will help you to answer easily and understand the questions. Saunders will help you to gain base knowledge and I thank that book for helping me reach the ladder for my future career. I can say to know if you likely pass at 75 questions are: - you are answering lot of sata's, prioritization - answering moderate-easy questions on the very last part of your exam - if you compare on the middle part of part of the exam it is really different ( it means that the computer have decided you passed their mark/standard.) - answering straight correct answers on the last part but the question was all the same level of difficulty. - noticed that if you answer two right questions they will give you the hard question right away After onerous 62 hours of waiting, I received my result yesterday via email (quick result) and I passed. ??? THANK YOU for reading. God bless!
