Please help!! Will I pass NCLEX with 50-60% on kaplan Q bank??

Nursing Students NCLEX

Updated:   Published

I am taking kaplan q bank questions and I am making between 50-60% on most all of my practice questions. I am usually doing only ten questions at a time on tutor mode. Is that OK to do or do I need to be taking all 50 questions on timed mode to determine if I will pass the NCLEX? I'm just really worried about these scores because I thought I had to make a 60 on all tests with 50 questions.

Thanks for any help!!

Del07 I have a question for you. I just failed my first attempt at the NCLEX.

Did you like the Hurst review? I need some help with content. I got so many Ped and Med questions I knew I wasn't going to pass. Not sure where to start studying

I loved the hurst review! They have a 98% pass rate!! The only content you need to study is the core content for hurst review because all the other review books are too overwelming with info! NCLEX wants to know what your going to do as a new nurse and that's how hurst review helps you think! I'm 100% sure if you use hurst your gonna wanna give me a big hug afterwards! LOL!! I passed on my first attempt only using hurst and you can to!

Oh yeah and too add I sucked at peds also and hurst broke it down to perfection for me! If you do chose hurst the first thing your gonna say is why we haven't learned it I'n school that way! And yes there the best on med surf stuff!!they give you the main signs and symptoms NCLEX looks for because you know they could have like 20 diff signs and symptoms and your wondering how am I going to know that! I vote hurst hurst hurst!!

I Scored a 90% once on the Kaplan Q-bank and that was with 50 questions. On average I scored about 65-73% for each 50 Qbank questions I took. Sometimes I scored much lower than that. Honestly practicing a 100 questions per day for Kaplan is way too much. You can do 100-150 for other "easier" practice questions like Saunders but with Kaplan it is not enough to just do the questions. You have to go over each question indepth and read the rationales....Now to answer your question, try to aim for at least 70%. I was told by one of my Kaplan instructors when I was studying for the NCLEX that 70% on Kaplan is equivalent to a passing rate on the NCLEX. Honestly Kaplan to me is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy harder than the NCLEX. I hope I answered your questions

Oh and also please please go over the videos that they put on the website. You may have to look for them though, they are kinda hard to find; but they are so informative and helpful

Are you saying below 70% means you aren't at a good chance of passing?
