I have so much to share! So, I took the test twice! Both times I got 265 questions. Absolutely a rough experience, but I passed the second time around. I have to say, reading everyone's post on the nclex forum really made me depressed. There are so many myths, that I believed were true because of the amount of people that were claiming how accurate their theory was. SELECT ALL THAT APPLY MYTH ( "If you get a lot, then you're above passing level"): My first exam I had 265 Questions, A LOT of select all that apply, didn't keep count, but I got a SATA question very frequently throughout the entire exam. I assumed I passed because I read everyone's post that these were indicators of above passing level. Guess what FAILED! My second exam, I obsessed over getting SATA, or priority questions. I felt that I needed to get so many to past. I tallied the amount of SATA , Drag and drop, and other format questions I got and I had only 15 SATA, 1 drag and drop, and 1 calculation question out of 265 questions! So after my exam I researched again and started crying and freaking out because I barely had any alternate formate or priority questions. I was sure I did worse than first time. Surprisingly I passed! LAST QUESTION MYTHS (" You have to get last question right and it has to be a passing level question") Wrong! My second test I had a below passing level question and after the exam I looked it up and I got it wrong. I was sure then that I FAILED no doubt about it. So, the second time around I had very little SATA and alternate formate questions, plus got the last one wrong ( a basic knowledge question that I couldn't remember). Therefore do not believe everything you read on here. Everyone has a different experience. Mine was very different that what I have read online, and I couldn't sleep last night because I was sure I failed. I passed!! Don't worry how many of each type of question you get, it will stress you out! Just focus on you and your exam! Also, as far as the pearson vue trick goes. I do believe this is accurate if done correctly. My first exam I did it right after the exam, got the pop up and though I passed. I checked later on that night to find out it let my cars go through and I failed. The second time around I did the trick about 15 hours after exam and pop up was there "our records show that you are currently registered for an exam." So my advice is to wait several hours before trying the trick. Good luck to everyone taking the NCLEX!
