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."

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.

Conspiracy, I took my NCLEX and stopped at 75 Qs. I know about a few other males who also stopped st 75. Additionally, all my ED nursing supervisors are all male. ??

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.

lol I don't really feel attacked...I drive a red car and I have a bit of a lead foot.

It was suppose to be a silly comment.

MENCLEX lmao

I’m guessing you think that certain test takers are randomly selected to receive all 265 questions. This idea is an urban legend. It is even addressed on the official website.

If you got all 265 questions you need to work on your test taking skills and/ or try a different study tool to get ready because news flash plenty of people pass in 75.

[zoidberg, BSN, RN]

All anecdotal. I passed at 75. Maybe you should have done more practice questions?

[labordude, BSN, RN]

75 questions in 39 minutes I passed and walked out knowing I passed ?‍♂️

Male, passed at 75, 30 years ago.

Hmmm, computer adaptive testing only begin in 93 or 94-ish. (Can't remember exact year, but around then.) Anyone taking NCLEX before that time, took it on paper, over two days. And there were way more than 75 questions.

[myoglobin, ASN, BSN, MSN]

The real question is when will the computer adaptive testing be modified and used also for teaching. We all have unique strengths and weaknesses which could be more precisely addressed with this technology.

Still LMAO @ "MENCLEX." This wins the internet forever!

Sex literally has zero bearing on the number of questions. Just preparedness of those taking it, and the 15% that the computer mandates.

That might not be entirely true. To give an example, my experience in OB so far has been virtually nonexistent, along with other guys, because we just don't get assigned. We're more likely to be pushed out of the room for a birth or full assessments of the mother... This is apparently also common in peds. And this doesn't go away for any normal clinicals. How commonly do you see male students only working with male patients, to the point that they'll be given an extremely low acuity patient just because it's a male patient.

The purpose and what you're supposed to learn in clinicals is an important part of being able to pass any licensing test. If they're not able to develop being able to think like a nurse, the NCLEX is going to destroy them. I've seen it testing for professional certifications and licenses that I've had over the years in other fields. Real world practice is extremely important.

If all these guys are struggling to pass, I'd look into what their clinical environment is like, and if they're really given opportunities to apply what they're learning. One or two is reasonable, but 9 getting to 265, that's a trend. That school is failing them somewhere.
