I realize when I had to write my nursing exam how much pressure I experienced about the whole thing. I wrote mine in June 2010 and passed in first attempt but still remember when I walked out the exam, I was not sure what would be the result.
The purpose of this thread is supporting those nursing students who are planning to write their CRNE in upcoming June. Students, please feel free to share your concerns and questions. Nurses please support those students with tips for study.
Just couple of reminders before we get started:
1. Please do not discuss specific questions or any content tested in CRNE.
2. Please read other threads for more information as well. Other threads give you valuable information and be smart and take them into your advantage.
I just have a question for IENs/student nurses from other provinces/territories besides ONTARIO, was your exam out of 200... exactly, 200 questions (including the 'sample questions')? Just curious.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing okay today. Let's take this one day at a time.
I want to know too, not sure I understand how that works the experimental questions. Are they counted or not because if there's 20 experimental questions than it should be out of 180 or no???
Also, does it mean that if we get those question right they don't count??? I don't get it! Can someone shed some light.

They dont count the experimental questions whether we answer them correctly or not. They're there to test the question itself and not the test taker. As in, is the test too hard or easy enough to use for future CRNEs.
I'm an IEN and yes there was 200 questions on my exam too although I did sit in Ontario so not sure if other IEN's will find it different. I wouldn't have thought so.

I was just wondering whether 62% passing is nation wide. If every prov./terr. had different amounts of question then there is definitely no chance it could be the same passing percentage, you know? I'm thinking about different scenarios in my head, that's all.
You all wrote different versions, but if the pass was 62 percent, then that would be nationwide. It would be way too confusing for the CNA to track different percentages. That's fair. When I wrote, it was 65 percent. Your exam would have been rated as slightly more difficult than mine was. They make the pass fair for everyone writing.

The CRNE is a NATIONAL exam, set by the Canadian Nurses' Association. Everybody writes exactly the same exam on the same day across the country. The pass mark is exactly the same for all provinces and territories. Most people who write do not get a final mark, just pass/fail. Generally speaking the ones who fail by a very narrow margin will be informed of that fact, and their exams will have been hand-graded prior to the results being released to ensure that they truly have failed.
