80 vs 150 questions on NCLEX Explained…

Rule ☝️ 95% confidence interval = cuts off at 85

Rule ✌️Final ability estimate = cuts off at 150

❌ Avoid AI to read your NCLEX CPR

AI may be great for a lot of things….

Your NCLEX CPR is not one of them…

❌ It’s too vague & cannot explain to you the numerous bullet points in each client need category & subcategory…

✅ Well because it’s not a human brain 🧠

❌ And it will incorrectly tell you to only target below and near passing engine bypassing above passing….

✅ But here’s the honest truth…if you failed, you want to give each area equal attention for the best outcome next time
