NCLEX Kaplan Practice Scores

Just enrolled to kaplans classroom anywhere, should i use the kaplan coursebook and online videos for content review or my saunders book??

I actually used Saunders for content and occasionally the Kaplan book. I think Saunders is better for content. I didn't used the online videos ( takes too much time) What worked best for me was to review all questions and for incorrect ones I looked up the content that was involved. Hopefully this helps a little :)

Are these qbank questions easier than trainers? Also, I haven't done anything differently this week aside from taking three days off but my qbank scores last week were: 54,52,54,60..and now this week my scores are 64, 66, 76...it seems like a big increase. I don't know why. Any answers to that?....I've done 75 questions yesterday from the Saunders 5th edition book that I received this week nbut no reviewing, my score on that was 69%... Anyway, i don't know how i scored highly on qbanks now..

Inori can you please look at my comment posted on April 27th down below. I just need some input. Thanks a bunch.

From my experience when I started doing the qbank I was getting lower scores like you then my scores got a lot better. I think the qbank and the questions trainers are very similar. It looks like you're doing very well. I studied for 5 weeks, finished all question trainers and qbank. I also did questions from Saunders and I was avg 65-70, nothing higher than that. I took the Kaplan readiness 1 week before testing and got a 63%. I'm sure you are ready :)

I will be taking the NCLEX RN in 4 days so far this is my progress.

Kaplan Q trainer 1-7: I-64%,II69%,III60%,IV57%,V61%,VI61%.VII62%

Saunders 5e average: 72%

NCLEX 4000 average: 70-75%

PDA average: 65-70%

What do you think guys....

Thanks Inori I hope i can make it with a very limited time of studying because of my 3 months old baby. I will give it a shot on May 3..

It's a week later and my scores have been between 50-62% but two of my qbank scores were 36% and 44%!!!! Am I drained?? Ahhhhh.. QUOTE=Inori;6422768]@Biggie1 - reviewing saunders and doing kaplan questions its normal that scores increasing because you're gaining knowledge and learning testing skills. I'd be more concern if you're qbank / QT scores aren't increasing or worst start dropping. Same thing with question trainers improving is expected so long as QT6 and 7 is above 60% you're ready. Qbank questions i feel are harder than QTrainers but .. all in all very very similar to the actual NCLEX exam. Also Qbank with each test being only 50 questions the scores will jump around more meaning you'll have some higher and some lower. IT evens out if you average em for the week. Keep studying make sure you're improving the scores even by 1 pt gotta compare new scores to your average and focus studying on areas you're consistently weak in. SO by test time you've filled in the gaps and you've a uniform knowledge. there's no i hope they won't ask for X because the computer eing a CAT will go straight for your weak zones. GOOD LUCK!!Do all of your QT, QBank, look up the content, take notes on stuff you got wrong dont just read the rationale, if have time still create a quiz of all the ones you previously got wrong and keep drilling it. Think kaplan quoted that most of people who complete all of the quetsions pass so keep that in mind
