The last detailed test plan (2013) from the National Council designated from
6% to 12% of the total questions to be from the area of psychosocial
integrity. The student may not be able to retake nursing courses or a review
course. Stating that content area has the same amount of questions would
be inaccurate. Each of the categories of client needs has a different
percentage, so questions are based on that percentage from the detailed
test plan, not on equal numbers from each area. Students often hear
incorrect information and rumors about NCLEX.
