Hi everybody, my name is Robert and I currently hold an RPN diploma and have been practicing for 6 years in medicine. I just graduated from my bridging program for my BsCN, and am prepping to write my Canadian NCLEX at the end of Sept to early October.
I have been using Kaplan as my prep, and was wondering if anyone else is or has utilized Kaplan in the past.
My marks are:
Diagnostic: 61%
Qt1:55
QT2:56
QT3:57
QT4:61
QT5:60
QT6:63
Im a little worried about these marks. Before using Kaplan I was reading exam review from Saunders. When I started Kaplan I read their exam review guide, watched the videos and did those above tests. I find that the Qbank questions are very hard with my marks going from 40's to 80's depending on the length of test.
I have made cue cards for stuff I think is important i.e lab values, medications, and associated diseases. But as I am coming to the date of my exam, Im wondering if there is anything else I should be doing? A friend of mine suggested U-World. I find the questions of Kaplan helpful, but very difficult. I utilize the decision tree, but there are some questions where the decision tree just is not helpful.
Any ideas?
Robert

I am also an RPN that finished the BscN program. I have not taken the NCLEX yet but most of my classmates have and passed. They used Kaplan, U world and Hurst. If you read many of the people on the forum, many have passed despite the low Kaplan scores.
