265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

[wilderness47]

The amount of males who get all 265 questions is alarming and needs to be looked into. I have a friend who failed twice at 265. I passed at 265. Another friend got all 265 today. 3 other male classmates got all 265. I work with 6 male coworkers. 5 of them got 265. The amount of men in nursing is already a fraction, but the percentile that goes all 265 has to be alarming. In 20 years I am gonna see a commercial saying "If you're a male and took the NCLEX and received all 265 questions you may be entitled to financial compensation."

Anecdotes are the bane of the internet, I swear to god. There is NO way Pearson can be doing this. If they were, and hot found out, it would be a HUGE huge lawsuit to the point of putting thrn out of business. Not to mention, they are basically an extension of the state. This is just not going to happen.

There are st least two presumptions in that statement. First, we don’t in fact know that men have a lower pass rate or threshold on the NCLEX all we have are a couple of “ point estimates” not good data. Second, we don’t know that NCLEX performance actually equates to factual nursing knowledge. I for one sometimes felt that getting the correct answer on the NCLEX required one to lower their level of thinking to a less holistic perspective. Stated differently the NCLEX answer may not be the best answer in a real world context.

I wasn't being serious at all. Just poking the OP a little.

9 men in my cohort. 5 passed at 75 questions and 4 passed in 90s-130s. None took all 265 questions.

Maybe, not now, but don't count it "out" for the future. Consider that the SAT will now include an adversity score which will essentially adjust your SAT score based upon things like the school lunch program participation rate in your community, and the percentage of vacant homes. Don't dismiss the possibility of this occurring on exams like the NCLEX and USMLE in the future. You can read about it here https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/16/us/sat-score.html

I had planned this long post that would have been mean spirited, but now I cannot do it.

Passed with 75 questions in a little more than 1.5 hours. I would correlate this set of facts with how these male nurses were prepared. I would ask them where they studied instead of the makeup of their chromosomes.

it is that those who tend to drive red cars may be more prone to drive aggressively.

Ummm Male here. 75 and pass first time.

[EndoscopyRN NYC]

Male here passed with 76 questions on the first try. Majority of male nurses I know passes within 75-80.

I meant only that one thing can be a proxy or “placeholder” for something else and that something else may be the deterministic variable that accounts for the difference. I might have said instead “those who drive big pick up trucks are more likely to die by firearm suicide.” If this statement is true ( and I do not know that it is) it is likely because those who drive big trucks are more likely to be male and to own firearms both of which are associated with a higher likelihood of firearm suicide. The truck is a proxy for a higher order correlation that may not be obvious without the benefit of data analysis. Credit scoring systems make use of this principle to assign differential risk assessments all the time.

The MENCLEX is now accepting registrations. Working expeditiously with state BONs to get our exam approved for licensing. We just hope and long for a test that requires no man have to go all the way ever again. #75justice

pm me for the answer to question 1.

75 questions 32 minutes …. 265 questions means the CAT couldn't decide if you were bright enough to realize two 325mg Tylenols = 650 mg ….. git gud
