Low score on Uworld!!!

Students NCLEX

Published

Hello All,

I have been using Uworld for 3 days and my score seems to be stuck at 40%.I have done 75 qs per day. My test is a month away....but I am on high stress already....what am I doing wrong?

I also have Kaplan provided by my school, but I am not really using it because I heard UWorld is the bomb.

Please, any advice would help....

Thank you in advance....

You still have time to practice and get to know how to tackle nclex like questions with the help of UWorld. Il be retaking in 2 days so hopefully it will for me! But what I do is 20qs-content focus (like started with maternity/peds coz these are my weakest)...read rationale why I got it wrong...il do 3-4 20qs/day so still meet like 75qs/day; then il answer some incorrect type and read rationale as well, doing it slowly but sure enough I understand what's it's asking me....i don't look on the numbers score but on the Rationale of each questions!

Thank you eine for replying,

best of luck to you on the exam!! I will focus on splitting the qs during the day. I have started taking notes on the rationale and reading it until I understand.

Please keep me posted!!!

Keep doing questions and don't worry about the scores I would say. As long as you understand the rationales and read the answers.

Study hard and stay positive. Believe in yourself. God has a plan for all of us. I will be praying for you my friend.

I recommend doing the Kaplan QBanks first then moving onto UWorld. Or you can do what I did: Kaplan QBank when at home and UWorld on the go (using phone app). :-)

Did that help you a lot more? I was thinking about that, but Uworld rationales helped me understand a lot. I can still do some kaplan qs to see where I stand with kaplan.

Thank you so much!

Hello AN,

just wanted to keep everyone posted and looking for positive reinforcement........

I have sad news.....I did not pass my Nclex on the first try.....my Uworld score after completing ALL the questions only went up to 50%.

I also did all the Kaplan Q1-Q7 low was 49% and the highest was 58.9%

Also did the diagnostic test: 58% and readiness test: 60%

I studied for 4 straight weeks...thought it would be enough.....but it did not help me pass, it shut off around 150 questions, went home did the PVT, tried to take my payment, next minute....cried my eyes out.

....now all I can ask.....any advice would help... for my second take....I have a 45 days cooling period until I can take it again. I hate doing it but I have to keep going. I again will study, I don't want to fall off the study phase. Thank you everyone.
