  • 1.  For those who have taken the exam

    Hi, 
    When I took the NCLEX, the screen went black for what seemed like forever. I thought that the system had crashed and that I was going to have to do the entire test over again.  I was on the verge of an epic meltdown when the words appeared on the screen to the effect that I was done and I could leave.   Does the certification exam end the same way?  My brain is doing a lot of preparatory panic around this.
    Thanks,
    Kate

    I took the exam in the spring. It is 200 questions and you are given up to 4 hours to complete. It is not adaptive and does not just cut off like NCLEX. You do have the ability to flag questions and return to them later. When you are finished and hit submit, you will get a screen that let's you know if you passed. Hope that helps alleviate some of your prep panic!

    I found the 15 min video of the Top 10 Test Taking Techniques, very helpful. I personally needed these reminders. The anatomy of a test question and it distractors was and will be very helpful to me as well. I watched this before answering the practice questions for chapter 2 and I definitely answered them differently.
