I really don't agree with the new style of testing...I think it is horrible. How can it be that a person can practice so many questions over and over again, walk in and STILL not recognize what NCLEX places before you?? Pick all that apply...diagrams, co-horting questions...the whole gammet is ridiculous to me. And, it does not guarentee a good nurse, it simply assures that we can regurgitate what they want to hear because the real world of nursing verses NCLEX is a sharp difference. I do wish you luck the next time with your exam.
