Nursing Students NCLEX
Published Jun 7, 2014
Do you think Kaplan Q-Bank questions are considerably more difficult than the NCLEX itself? I test in 20 days and I'm all over the board with my scores. I'm ranging from 40's-70's!!! I have NO clue where I stand right now.

I got a 59% on my QBANK. I DO think Kaplan was a little harder than NCLEX! I passed 3 weeks ago! :)

I've been scoring around 64-67% on the Qbank and around 64% of the Qtrainers and I scheduled super soon but idk I don't feel ready. Does it look like I'm doing okay or do you think I should reschedule?

For me, it just "clicked" and I started getting better scores. I just kept doing questions. Here are my Kaplan scores - test shut off in 75Qs and I just found out yesterday that I passed:
Diagnostic: 56
Q1 First time: 50; Second time 71
Q2: 63
Q3: 53
Q4: 57
Q5: 56
Q6: 56
Readiness: 62%
Overall Q-banks was 59% with 100% completed.
They say you should be at 65% - you can see, I was in the mid to high 50s...but once I took the readiness test and it was over 60% I scheduled the date to take the test.
I would say just keep doing a bunch of questions, read the rationales and once you are consistently getting in the high 50s to 60s, you'd be ready.
Skittles, I think your scores are fine! I would just take it. I was supposed to take mine late next week, but I just felt I was ready so I upped my testing date by 2 weeks and took it right away.

I am leaving to take the NCLEX in about 30 minutes (haha). Just took Q7 and got a 62.5% and a 61.5% on Q6... Not sure if that makes me feel good or not, but there's nothing I can do now!
How'd it go???

how many questions are you taking at a time on the qbank to get those scores?
