what do you think of this logic? wouldn't the chances of passing (if you felt you bombed) be higher if the test shut off at 80-90 questions? i think this only because from what i read there are 3 options at question 75... - you passed - you failed -...

thank you ...and thanks to dgilbert as well :) yea, i go to a ton of forums from car forums to stock forums and this place "in general" has the most uptight people on the net!!! sure, i might be a little abrasive at times but its all meant to spark ...

first off - i put a SMILE after the text to convey innocent "happy" debating!!! the "i bet you can't" was not said in anger or anything!!! i don't post here much because the last time i did was because i had strong feelings towards an issue that ot...

i'm quite sure you know all the secrets i tell ya what, post EXACTLY how it works - including all the geeky math stuff. my bet, no offense, is that you can't or your reply will be some blanket statement about how you can't cause its too "involved" o...

nobody (except those that designed the program) knows the truth - including you and i. we have our theories. personally, i think my theory is correct. :)

thanks!!! ...somebody noticed :) my other theory on the secret of the nclex (i love conspiracy theories) is that you get credit for a wrong answer (as long as its still correct, but not the "best" answer). you follow? this is my theory only. the...

yes, but you're missing the point at the critical question #76 that tells you that you are close to the "passing" standard. if your test ends at #75 then you definitely know you either really passed or really failed. at #76 you can be assured that ...

well, my theory (and this is only interesting discussion) is that if you are "so close" to the passing standard at 75 then it would be hard to fail at 80. that would mean a dramatic shift from one end of the curve to the other in the CAT's program w...

my wife took the NCLEX today and it shut off at 89 questions she is in a state of panic because she totally thinks she failed!!! she seemed to have a lot of "priority" questions and less questions from other topics. she stated that after question 75...

thanks!!! its not really helping her feel better (obviously i'd assume), but i know she will appreciate your kind words. i went out and got her all her favorite stuff and now its just the wait. she already has a job lined up so i think that's what...

Well, I need a little help. I have no idea what to tell my gal. She is in a tough RN program where you have to maintain a certain average or, as she tells me, you're out of the program. Now, she failed one of her tests and its crazy becasue she is...

Thanks everyone. This thread has made a nice turn and I really appreciate the support. She appears to be feeling a bit better. I am gonna spoil her all this week...well, I am gonna spoil her more than usual.

Thank you for making that point. The larger issue is why the heck people even friggin care!!! Its so stupid. Its like a warped Seinfeld episode.

Damn you people read into things. "My gal" = possesive? Women say I love my guy or my guy is great. Well, my gal is great and I love her. Quite sensitive here, eh? There are 3 pages thus far in this thread and only a few posts with good advice, ...

Who? Me?

It truly shocks me that people would be irritated. I don't require any self-examination because I have said nothing wrong!!! My colleague here in the office agrees with me...even with the "My gal" comment!!! she was like that is fine and why is ev...

No problem. I just got a little pi$$ed when this Gomer character said I might have a problem and that I sound controlling. Totally uncalled for and a very childish thing to do on a forum. People have lots of courage with a keyboard. I do thank th...

I didn't mean anything bad. She is my gal...I love her. What, there is a problem with calling her my gal now? I am her boy, her man, her dude, her guy, her lover, etc.. Some of you need to really just chill. "My gal" is a loving term. Again with...

I am sitting here in disbelief. My colleague was reading through these posts and was feeling the same way. Here I am, a caring person that was looking for advice for my gal and I get attacked!!! What is the deal with some of you?

You know, that is a real stupid thing to say. How old are you? You're making an assumption that I am some controlling jerk because I show real concern for someone that I love and was looking for advice from people who already went through RN school...

Settle down please. The Navy Seal reference was said because its an intensive hardcore training regimen where like only 20% of people pass. Also, I said it because, unlike a nursing program, I think Navy Seal training is free. Yikes. It was only ...

You can join me Gomer, you will find me here... :chair:

Thanks UntamedSpirit.:) Oh, and don't even get me going on the union issue geek!!!

Fair enough. I have truly enjoyed your well thought out posts RNPD.

Here is the deal. Please read with an open mind. I will try to sum up my views based on my own personal beliefs as well as what I have learned here thus far. -I admit that I come across strong and for that I apologize if I am stirring the pot. -I k...
