I agree, absolutely. It would be very difficult to pass the nursing exam without knowledge. However, who knows if someone on the inside at the testing agency or scoring was bought off. A person on the inside could, I suspect, pull the exams (if paper) or if computerized, access and change the answers. We saw it in voting, so why not in all licensing agencies: nursing testing for licensing, state medical boards, pharmacy boards, veterinary boards, etc. Everything is a scam these days.
The NCLEX is a computerized adaptive test. Questions and their difficulty are adjusted based upon your previous answers. The hard part is the multiple choice select all that apply type questions. They will give you a scenario and then 5 possible answers that between one and 5 may be correct. It's all or nothing no partial credit if you miss any part.
So theoretically very near impossible to cheat. The scary part is the little patient care things that are so elementary for trained nurses that can cause death or severe injury if the layperson is practicing without that knowledge. In Florida if your school's pass rate falls below 80% over a two year period the school may lose accreditation.
Yes, I agree. I think they are mostly computerized these days, and randomized. But, if you had the questions in advance, you'd have a pretty good chance of passing.

And every selection on multiple choice seems correct.

Exactly or if you have insider help.
