I'm currently enrolled with NCSBN for a 3 WEEK online study course. Can anyone tell me if a 67-70 percentile on the NCSBN practice exams is good enough to take the actually NCLEX? I'd really love to hear your input about your thots on the NCSBN reveiw..it seems as if I'm the only one enrolled with them since most of the posts on here that I see are with..kaplan...Pls Reply, Your Input is greatly appreciated!!!

I was consistently making 60-70% on that one, Saunder's practice quizzes on the cd, and the HURST review tests... and I nailed it in 75 questions

Just read the rationales behind why you miss.

I am testing in about 10 days and I am using NCSBN Nclex review course. As Taylor said make sure you review the questions you missed and understand the rationales. The score you are getting now do not predict how well you'll do on the test... (That's my opinion...)
Just make sure you understand the rationales behind missed questions.

Good luck!

Sometimes what you need is FAITH and CONFIDENCE in yourself. No matter what people tell you, at the end it all comes to your desire and willingness to go the extra mile in order to succeed. I am not sure if NCLEX is about memorizing the content. You've been through nursing school and they assume that you already have the knowledge. But what I hear from my friends, NCLEX is about applying your knowledge to any given scenario using your critical thinking skills!
Do as many questions as you can, know your weak areas, and make sure you review and understand the rationales of missed questions.

Good luck!

I see your taking yours too, I wish you GoodLuck. What are you doing in order to prepare aside from the NCSBN reveiw?? Are you still reading content or just practicing questions??? I have knots in my stomach right now just thinking about it....

I mostly do questions! I only read the content for my weak areas. The contents can be long and boring...LOL Beside the NCSBN review course, I have so many other books. Kaplan is good for strategies and Saunders is very good to go over what you need to know. Saunders CD is good for questions with the rationales...
Keep faith and tell yourself that you can DO it!

Good luck!

I took the NCSBN 3 week course review and scored 65% - 85% on various content. I am taking the NCLEX in 3 days (on the 10th of July)! I've also been using Saunders 4th edition. I feel like these have helped me prepare, but I guess I won't really know until I've passed. Good luck to you!!!
