8 of 32. I was the youngest student, being 22 when I began.

Yup, I took my exam back in July and unfortunately got the full 265, but I did end up passing with the good pop-up. Another classmate was in the same situation as well. Totally legit!

I'm a new grad and I have an interview tomorrow for an RN position at an elementary school. I do have my reservations about it, especially as a new grad, but that's a whole different story. Anyway, figured I'd give it my all anyway in this interview. Can anyone give me a heads up what type of questions you've experienced? Is it the typical "Why do you want to work here?" or more behavioral type questions? It's with the principal too if that matters at all. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know if you want to hear this and not sure if I would suggest it, but personally I didn't study for pharm. I thought to myself realistically, there are probably hundreds to thousands of different kinds of medications, dozens and dozens of classes - what are the chances of me actually getting a medication I knew on the NCLEX? Not very high! The reason to give it, side effects, nursing implications, etc... it was just too much for me to realistically remember. I did get a buttload of medication questions though, majority of them I have never even heard of, but I don't think studying them would have made a difference. Thankfully it all worked out.

Kaplan Nclex Sample Exam 7 Good luck!

Don't think anyone knows the answer of the question you're asking, but I too was a victim of 265 questions. Thankfully I had passed as well! And Love81, I personally just used Kaplan. I didn't find the course very helpful, but the online resources they give you is great. Did 100% of the question bank, and all the provided tests. I did a total of 2500+ questions. Was it helpful of for the NCLEX? I would like to think so, but I'm not sure. I don't think anything can really prepare you for the NCLEX.

Test scores seem fine to me! These were mine: Diagnostic: 59% QT1: 55% QT2: 61% QT3: 79% QT4: 55% QT5: 69% QT6: 68% QT7: 64% Readiness: 54% (I took this before I did all the other QTs and Question Bank) Question Bank: 100% complete and a 61% average. Like you, occasional low 50s and high 60s. Even with this all of this complete, I went up to 265 questions and felt like I was taking an educated guess on every answer. Felt confident in ~10 answers. For me personally, I don't think anything could have prepared me for the exam. Midway through that test, I thought to myself: "If I were to fail and retake this test, what would I do differently?" I had no idea what I'd do differently, and to this day I still don't. After graduating I told myself that I wanted to do everything I realistically could. I wanted to go in having no regrets, and that I was honest with myself in preparing. And I was, and it all worked out. Knowing that this was potentially my last exam and knowing that I accomplished everything I had asked of myself helped me stay calm, and I believe that was the key factor in the exam. When I finished, I felt like poop, but again, I gave it my best shot and I was proud of myself; thankfully it all worked out. If I'm a nurse, you will be too. No doubt.

Hope this works. Had my test today and did all 265. Did not feel good coming out... but I got the good pop-up so I'm hopeful!
