  4. Which study resource resembles the NCLEX type and difficulty of questions the most?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to IcanHealYou's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. NCLEX 2nd time takers passing rate?

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What I still don't understand is why if you fail your first time your chances decrease instead of increasing. From the NCSBN databank your chances of passing the first time are 82.65% and retakers are...

  12. Critial information for test takers regarding time limit!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. Does the NCLEX make sense at all?

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the test once and failed but yes I wasn't prepared at all. I am studying very hard now for about two months and my general nursing knowledge have improved markedly, but I feel that it does not...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to jerzie0820's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The one thing most people don't think about when taking the NCLEX is that the test is a CAT (Computer Adaptive Test) which markedly differ from a regular test. The computer will design the test as it...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to campbell4397's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to soon2bRN516's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone who takes the NCLEX gets 50% wrong. The trick is than to stay above the passing line (the majority of these 50% you answer correct must be application and implementation type questions). If...
