The 2nd to last question is wrong. Confidence is spelled with a “c” not an “s” at the end.
Wow!!!
How embarrassing is this: you’re trying to run a test on grammar and you have one wrong! In number 9 you have the correct answer as being “no mistakes”, but it should be the sentence directly above it–because the word “confidence” is misspelled (with an S instead of a C.)
I would, but the author of this article wouldn’t – unless the NCLEX has it’s own spelling for the word confidence.

Okay. We here at Scrubs are MORTIFIED. We of course know how to spell “confidence,” but accidentally clicked the wrong “answer bubble” in our quiz application. Okay, no excuses. But y’all are good spellers! Thanks for catching, and it has been fixed!
Even with the mistake……. Keep the quizzes coming I really enjoy them.
its nice need mor refreshing to perfect the exam
Keep the quizes coming. My brain needs exercise as I have been an inactive nurse for 10 years now. I decided to be a domestic engineer but I am looking forward to work as a nurse in a year.
I cannot believe that I only missed one and that is the was number 6. This is my favorite part keep them coming.
You scored 10 out of 10.
Your performance have been rated as ‘Unbeatable’

Change “have been” to “has been” and your grammar is correct.
9 out of 10, not too bad!
I guess 9 out of 10 is good but I would have liked 10 out of 10. Thank you for this quiz! Keep them coming!
Oh my goodness, I have not heard a single instructor mention a spelling/vocabulary test as part of NCLEX!! So yes please keep these tests coming!
Crazy! Ididnt even know that was part of the Nclex…. I am nervous about taking it this spring after graduation, But I think I did ok on this quiz. I only got 2 wrong.
My how times have changed from when I became a nurse. We did not have vocabulary and spelling 40 yrs ago.
