Thank you. I've been looking for something like this for awhile to prepare me for nclex. I enjoy taking quizzes. This is going to be fun.

Congratulations! I bought the Kaplan book on Strategies 2010 for NCLEX. I really liked it. I'm also doing practice questions from the Saunders CD. I hope I pass this time. Thanks for replying...

I have to retake the NCLEX, and I was wondering if anyone know of a CD that has questions just like the NCLEX for RN. I feel I know the content, but I need to improve on test taking techniques. I bought the Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN examination book. However, after spending some time answering the questions in the book, it seems obvious to me what the right answer is. I want something more chalenging... like questions that we saw on the NCLEX. Their CD appears to be a little bit better as far as questions go. Anyone knows what the latest and greatest for the NCLEX is? I don't want to waste my time reading books, I just want to buy a CD and do practice questions. Thanks...

I never got "knowledge based" type of questions. I got a lot of prioritization, nursing intervention, disease process, multiple-multiple, etc. I could not have gotten more wrong than right with the types of questions I had because I'm used to more difficult ones. Also, the test switched to a completely different topic every 4 questions. The last question was a math problem, and I know I got that one right because I did it in a couple of different ways and I got the same answer twice. To answer each question, I always used the technique of least invasive procedure, ABCs first, etc. That's how I did so well on the MOCK NCLEX and practice questions. How could I have flunked every single section of the test? I don't think it's possible. Thank you for replying though.

I felt the same way you did. I took NCLEX a few weeks ago and the computer shut off at 75. I thought I had passed because I never failed a test before. I went to Hurst Review twice and did Mock NCLEX tests and a lot of practice questions. I felt ready to take it. However, after getting my results last week I found out I failed NCLEX on all categories of the test. How is that possible? The questions never got harder like people said, and I was used to getting a lot harder ones on the practice questions. This totally blew me away. I called Pearson Vue, and they told me to call the BRN. I called the BRN, and they told me to call NCSBN. I spoke with a very knowledgable lady who told me to take the NCLEX again because there's not much they can do, except have somebody review your test a third time. I told her I wanted to see my test because I new the answers I picked and the results sounded like a software glitch that messed up my answers. But she told me that wouldn't be possible. What else can I do? I started studying to take it again in about 30 days. I don't trust going back to the same testing center. This must have been a mistake. So I decided to take it at a different testing center. Hopefully this will help. Anyone?
