This week we had the last adaptive quiz assigned to us for this class and the subject was Med Surg. I went in pretty optimistic, however that optimism really dwindled quickly. I kept passing the amount of questions my previous adaptive quizzes had went and I also wasn’t feeling my best after a night of bad sleep. I ended up having to complete all 265 questions and had an average time of 30 seconds per question. I know this isn’t close to the NCLEX average, at a certain point I just needed this adaptive quiz to be done so I was just going at a faster than normal rate. Despite the amount of questions, I ended up with a 69% which I’m happy with. A weak point that I noticed within my remediations were the high amount of select-all-that-apply questions that I got wrong and think this should be a priority for me for NCLEX prep. Some of the content that I got wrong I now realize is wrong because we just learned it this week in Adult Health 3, so I feel better that I will know even more after this class is over. My mindset really needs to improve if I get a high number of questions in any other adaptive quiz or my boards. I did take several breaks when I felt myself losing concentration and don’t think that I would’ve been able to complete this with the number of questions without a few breaks.
Becca, now that you’ve had the experience of going the full 265 questions, you will be mentally prepared for any NCLEX scenario!
