QCC NLN PAX

Published

Hi, I was wondering for those who took the NLN Pax, what study guides did you use for this exam? I am planning on taking this exam Winter 2021 and would like to know what books helped you. Thanks!

 Here is my NLN report. I just covered my personal info. In it you see how many questions I got wrong and right. So that should give you an idea how many questions are there total. I would suggest you do the questions as quickly as possible. Now you don't have to start like that but closer to exam I would speed through them. There is a clock visible in the upper right corner when you start the actual exam. Just keep a eye on it from time to time.

It's OK. I'm happy to help. I don't know if all the questions actually count as I read that in one NLN book they put experimental questions but how true is that is also an unknown. But don't worry about that. Think you probably have less than a minute to answer a question. More or less. Don't spend too much time spending searching for the answer. I would try to just do under a minute during a practice or a min max.

For the Science section it was a mix of Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy, and Critical care..For example of scenario of cutting finger and what would you do first. Would you do peroxide or wash? Or if you burned your hand what would you do first. Look at the bigger picture. So it's hard to say because question can involve a few subjects. Food chain I would review.  Different circuits..Parrallel vs series. Try to understand them if possible. It's isn't my forte but relate it to things that you do understand like traffic to make it easier.

Great info!! How long did you get for each section if you can recall? And did you take your exam on a computer or on paper?
