Lacharity...what's a good score

Don't get caught up in the score! Just make sure you understand why you are getting things wrong when you do. Reading and understanding the rationales is what's most important.

Good Luck! :)

I just purchased the LaCharity book and have only completed the first three chapters. Also scoring in the 65-70% range and feel pretty good about it. One question though-it seems that in the LaCharity book there are a lot of questions asking to put patients in order based on priority (1,2,3,4). Will questions on the NCLEX ask to put them in order like this or will it just ask which patient should be seen first?

My scores ranged from 54% (Hematologic Problems) to 94% (Cardiovascular problems). had alot of 60's and 70's. Passed Nclex the 1st time.

Is there some type of link to this book?!? I only have the book. 2nd edition. Where can I do questions online?

It's very reasonable..about $30 around there

How many questions per section? It's probably they same ones from inside of the book.

FYI I bought the 3rd ed. book with code for $40 at Barnes & Noble on Friday. When I went to the evolve/elsevier site to activate the code, it looked like there was an option to purchase just the online access for $19 and change. I should have done that, because I've barely touched the book.

PedsHopeful - thanks for the info! I had about the same range of percents as you (but my weakest chapter was visual and auditory problems; got a 52 -- ouch!), with most in the 70s and 80s. I take NCLEX tomorrow, and your post has made it a tiny bit easier to breathe tonight! :shy:

Shandra2008 - online, most have about 25-30/chapter. A couple have 20 or 21, and peds has 41. (Not trying to butt in -- I just happen to be taking a study break, and I have my list of chapters with no. of questions and my score on each sitting right in front of me.)
