A 69% is GREAT!! My instructor wanted us to get a 70% and most of my Kaplan class did not. We had a couple students that did worst on the readiness test and they took the exam the same week our class ended and they both passed! I know it is easier said than done but that is a really good score. How did you do on the QTRAINERS?

Good luck, as for pharm I had 2 med calculations and maybe 10 or so meds and I honestly only knew 4 or 5 of them. I was having a hard time with pharm but I watched the pharm question and answer section Kaplan has online. When do you test?

Good luck!! Kaplan did help me a lot and even though I could not apply the strategies to all my questions, Kaplan forced me to think about why the 2 answers were wrong and then why one answer was better than the other. I also had a lot of priority questions and Kaplan taught me how to find the most critical patient first.

Hope that helps

Thank for the post... I took the Kaplan review as well and scored 70% on the readiness test. However the Qtrainers I'm getting 50-60% so after seeing your grades I have hope!

I think the biggest thing is doing a lot of questions, this helps you to see where you are weak and after reading the rationales it gives you insight into what went wrong. Do you have a date schedule (you don't have to say when Do the Qtrainers and QBANK and I watched the videos for the areas I had weakness. Good luck

My test date is on the 26th June (next week already! yikes!) My test date was supposed to be 25th June but one of my friends took the test the other day and spent 6 hours on 265 questions. It really freaked me out so I postponed it. Anyway, you are absolutely right about taking as many questions as possible. I find also that studying at the Kaplan center gave me better scores. I was scoring in the 60%'s yesterday. I think studying at home has a lot of distractions so it is a good idea to study at the center where it's quiet. At home, I just stop, get snacks, log on to email or facebook, etc etc. So thank you for the advice. Best of luck on your nursing career. Take care!
