Well, the first thing you should definitely do is breathe
I found that the more questions I did overall, the better my scores got (generally speaking). BUT once I found the area of weakness, and concentrated on that, I was seeing scores in the 50s, until I spent several hours and a whole lotta questions later and improved that area to around 60%.
As for who passed NCLEX with what actual percentages from Kaplan, I can't tell you...I need some of that info myself! I had a thread around here somewhere that asked something along those lines, and the responses were that people were passing with low 60s. My suggestion, at this point, is just keep doing lots of questions in your weak area, and see if the grades don't improve. Frankly, you have 24 hours prior to exam to change it, if you truly, honestly feel that another week with make a difference and you absolutely can't test earlier. Personally, I really want to put off the test another week or two so that I can get my scores higher, but I also honestly don't think it's gonna change things that significantly. I just keep plugging away for now.
Breathe. Remember Kaplan questions are harder than NCLEX. And see what others have to say!
