Took the NCLEX today!

[glaw5]

Hi everyone,

I took the NCLEX today for my second time. This experience was the complete opposite of the first time...

Today I ended at 100 questions, first time writing I failed at 130. This time I did not get a lot of SATA, but I did when I failed (do not use this as a passing marker). I felt like I knew the questions well. It really seemed easy to be honest and I wonder if that is concerning. I had dozens of isolation and priority questions - again not a marker of passing or failing.

Has anyone else found the nclex almost too easy? When I failed the first time it seemed uber duber hard, today felt way easier than any KAPLAN or UWORLD test I've done.

To me most of the NCLEX seemed kind of easy compared to what my instructors said it would be like. I passed in 75 questions and 29 of those were SATA. But I had tests in nursing school that were 100 questions with 75 SATA so I guess they set the bar extremely high. I read the questions and went with my gut and I guess that worked this time...in class I often second guessed myself and sat staring at questions for a really long time...that trend continued with the ATI review where some of the assessments took me the whole 4 hours. Not with NCLEX, I was worried a bit since I was out of there in 1 hour 15 minutes but I guess that was the right amount of time for the questions that I was asked.
