SURVEY for 75 questions on NCLEX RN

Published

Just wanted to know: Who got 75 questions pass or fail, how much time did it take you to complete the exam, any math? Thanks~

I read each question very carefully..even found myself reading it 3-4x ea, to the point where I didnt even know what it was asking me anymore.

After 75 questions, 3 hrs have passed by :anbd: LOL!! I didnt know it took me 3 hrs to do 75 questions...oh buddy, but I'm glad it stopped there.

1 math, 3-4 SATA, 3-4 infection control (highly recommend going over these!!), 5 medication side effects/teaching, lots of priority/delegation.

You can't tell if you had any test questions

75 questions in one and half hours. No math. I would bet that most 75 questions passers did not have math; hear math is a low level type question. The HURST review told us that if you fail with 75 it means you bombed it. The NCLEX website says that the majority of people that get a low number of questions pass.

75 questions, about 35 minutes (yes, I know... I take tests fast, and was the first done with the test 95% of the time in nursing school), with one med calculation. Most were SATA, priority, and medications.

*I wonder if my med calculation was a "test" question, because it specifically said answer the question to two digits, or the hundredth, but the answer was (as an example) 0.60. I'm really good at math, checked the answer 3 times, and still came out with the same answer. Since we shouldn't have the trailing zero, the question was confusing, but I put it down because of the way the instructions read.

Passed with 75 questions. It took about an hour and a half. My usual time for that number of items is about an hour but I took my time to read the questions and choices thrice in the actual NCLEX. I had 2 math questions. I also had about 5 SATA and 1 drag-and-drop. I could have sworn the drag-and-drop question was a test question because it came in the middle of really difficult questions and it was so easy. :chuckle

If I remember rightly RN has 15 test questions and 25 for PN/VN so not sure where the member came up with 19

I passed with 75 questions. I had one math question and it was my very FIRST question! I had several SATA, priority, infection, delegation, and teaching. Several meds, mostly common meds, but only a couple I had never heard of. It took me just under 2 hours. I read each question very carefully and prayed before I hit "next".

Passed with 75 questions second time around. No math. Lots of SATA, priority/delegation and meds. Took me 1.5 hours (with a bathroom and lunch break).
