For those aspiring Practical Nurses out there, here’s your chance to brush up on your NCLEX-PN exam. Your score in your exam is most crucial to your success, whether it is passing the boards or being hired. Before taking the test you have to be mentally and physically prepared, relax and enjoy life as you course through becoming a licensed Practical Nurse.
Although you have the chance to take the NCLEX-PN exam more than once, never should you just take it for the heck of it. Even if you can afford it, you are wasting money, always do your best, hence the relevance doing an NCLEX-PN Practice Test!
A typical NCLEX-PN Practice Test will contain these items:
1.A bmp of what value will dictate a normal fetal heart rate?
- i.50-120
- ii.1-10
- iii.200-300
- iv.120-160
2.What is the average weight gain of a pregnant woman?
- i.10-15 pounds
- ii.5-10 pounds
- iii.25-30 pounds
- iv.45-50 pounds
The NCLEX-PN is a very “unorthodox” exam as compared to its knowledge-based counterparts (High School/College Exams). They are actually application-based, which basically says: “Prepare to be tested in almost anything and everything that may happen to a patient”. Now doesn’t that scare you? You have to be prepared for this type of exam as it will require you to think quickly yet logically.
In this exam gone are memorization and formulae, apart from it already being hard, the test is “adaptive”, it gets harder and harder with each question.
This really deems the relevance of practice tests. You have to look for as much practice tests you can. There are a lot of free resources out there for you, usually from the internet, but you don’t have to be confided in that, you can also look around in your neighborhood library or wherever.
Practice tests can vary in length and content that’s why you have to look for as much as you can, hopefully after taking all those practice tests you can finally breeze through the real NCLEX-PN and become an official Licensed Practical Nurse. Being ready is already half the battle.
