Reassurance

Over the past couple days, along with working at the job at lot more than I should, I've focused on my areas of weakness (pedi, ob). Today I plan on reading up on pharm. While studying, I've done practice questions and much to my chagrin scored lower than I wanted to & much lower than my testing average in nursing school. On practice tests, I am consistently in the 68% range and at times would score in the 80's depending on the test bank. I suppose some book's questions are harder than others. I googled about what percent correct passes the NCLEX and found than passing is 50% correct depending on the difficulty of the questions. Somehow, I did not believe this. Was I already in the passing range with a consistent 68%?
Yesterday, I went to day 1 of the Anderson Review course (http://www.nclextestprep.com/) which was excellent. There, they reconfirmed the 50% that I found and discussed the same level of difficulty theory. The NCLEX tests minimum competency and will present questions bellow, at and above minimum competency. As long as the tester is above the minimum competency benchmark at 75-200+ questions they pass! We discussed test taking skills and strategies for one of the hardest topics tested- prioritization. In nursing school and in practice tests I have struggled with these types of questions. We individually answered 20 questions where 12 correct equaled passing. I scored a humble but sufficient 13 correct.
I am now feeling extremely relieved that I am on the right track! I will aim for an 80% but won't beat myself up if I don't reach that goal every time. This isn't school and I don't need to get an A on this test. I want to be as prepared as possible.

I scheduled the NCLEX for January 22nd! Anderson recommends 100 hours of prep time and other sources say taking 5,000 test questions. I have less than 3 weeks so from now until then studying and practice tests is my job and life! Afterwards, I'll be laying on a beach in the Bahamas with my sister!!
