When you take practice NCLEX questions, it is important to understand that the NCLEX organizes questions into various categories; providing a safe and effective care environment, health promotion and maintenance, psychosocial integrity, and physiological integrity. These categories are further broken down to create a total of 8 categories.
We all want to say that we passed the NCLEX in 75 questions. But more important than that is that you PASS. It doesn't matter how many times you took it or how many questions it took - the end result is the same - you will be an RN.
In all my years as a nurse, I never have had a patient ask me how many questions I had on my NCLEX exam.
With that said . . .
You should practice many many questions prior to test day. We usually recommend working your way up from 20/day to upwards of 100+/day as you get closer and closer the NCLEX.
Use the NCLEX Questions of the Day to get started. Our questions are free and you can take as many as you want.
