Congradulations to you and you have gave me some hope with all the anxiety Iam feeling. My test is in 2 days and I was wondering about rescheduling. I did do kaplan and did all the qbank questions.

QT1 64%

QT2 61%

QT3 65%

QT4 72%

QT5 67%

QT6 60%

QT7 66%

Qbank 58%

I did read over all my rationals after I finished each test, however yesterday I went back and I felt like I forgot somethings (or is it just my nerves). The rationals are very helpful. Did you go back and redue your the ones you got incorrect on the qbank?

Would you say the nclex was easier than the kaplan questions?? Iam really nervous about the SATA questions (not good at those). I do think Iam going to keep my date since reading your message and once again good luck to you and I hope I can do the same that you did on my test on Tuesday July 8, 2008.

I felt like i forgot things too, its just that you are scared. My biggest advice is to take the day before the test off. I went and watched "get smart" so that I could take my mind off things. I did not do the qbanks over, I always choose the "unused" option but I wrote notes from the rationales and had made a study packet out of that. Then I went over my study packet and looked in the RN book to compare, and to see if I should add anything. I felt like kaplan was right on the money with the NCLEX they were so similar. I did hate those SATA I got like 10 of them. And I am NOT good at those. Just take a deep breathe and read each answer read the question again and select. Those are so hard!! Good luck Gdschild, I hope this helps. And please tell us when you passed! Oh yeah I also wanted to change my date as well because of my scores but my friend talked me into it and im glad she did!

I have also been thinking about changing my date, I am testing on the 8th. But I have come to the conclucsion I am never going to know everything, it's just impossible! I am debating whether or not to just do nothing tomorrow or just some stuff like Lab Values and some Meds. I seriously can not wait until this is over and done with and when I can come back on the 10th and post that I PASSSSSSED! Gotta stay POSITIVE!!

Angelina,

first off...... CONGRATS!!!! You must be sooo relieved! I am very happy for you.

My test is July 28 and I just finished Kaplan July 1. My test grades aren't great either..... from 58-68%. My anxiety level is going up daily and as someone else stated, I keep doing the tests but my scores don't go up!

I guess I am just venting to try and release some of this anxiety, but thanks again for your post..... it makes me feel a little (just a little) bit better!!

Oh boy....I can't wait til this is over! :clown:

Thanks for the encouraging info. I guess I'll schedule the NCLEX as soon as I can when I get my Authorization to Test. I get decent Kaplan scores, but I really feel like I'm guessing at least half the answers. Guess I just need to keep at it.

I know you posted this a year ago but I want to thank you for this. I'm having a dificult time with the Kaplan qbank and question trainers. I too only average at about 55-60%. Sometimes I feel like if I don't get the Kaplan right then I will fail. When I walk in the testing center next thursday, I will walk in there with confidence.

thanks so much!!

HI angelina02_21, first of al conrgratulations as I bumped into your post I was relief your post gave me so much hope and encouragement, I'm using saunders 4th edition and was enrolled w/ Kaplan still finishing the QT, diagnostic and readiness is about 52-55% QT my scores fr 67% going down to 60% in between I'm not hitting the mark and that makes me anxious though as I look back I have answered more correctly than incorrect answere still have to do QT 7 on QB just averaging, and you are right they focus more on critical thinking for analysis and implementation w/c you really have to understand deep, I guess that's great- saunders I've been maintaining70% or higher- SATA really a roll for me as I know I find it confusing at times- but as you said just keep practicing and I contineously ck on the kaplan strategy even applied it when i'm doing saunders and mostly it works- I go over all the questions rationales correct and incorrect and undertand them fully- I have taken this exam a few times, I feel so nervous even afraid, hope this time i'm on the right track hopefully to make it and have direction in my life- thanks again for your insights it gives me light to keep going- God Bless you and congratulations again!!:cheers:

That's a relief! a major one. I am currently taking Kaplan classes for the NCLEX in a couple of weeks and the qtrainers i did were disappointing. I never got over 55 percent on the test scores and my dx test was a poor 54 percent. I just feel like the kaplan class isn't helping me at all except for one-pain is psychosocial!
