Preparing for NCLEX 2013

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I'm feeling OKAY during my studies (reviewing Kaplan content purple book, doing Kaplan questions and Lacharity PDA questions daily)...I wonder if you ever feel "ready", you know?

I'll post my scores in a bit to receive some feedback from my peers in either the same situation or those who have completed NCLEX prep and successfully taken their boards.

Ok so LaCharity PDA scores as follows:

ch. 1-4 n/a (sorry didn't start keeping track until ch. 5)

ch. 5 - 60.8%

ch. 6 - 68.5%

ch. 7 - 64.7%

ch. 8 - 78.5%

ch. 9 - 73.6%

ch. 10 - 61.9%

*still in the process of doing the others

:)

Kaplan scores as follows:

Diagnostic - 60.6%

Readiness - 69.4%

Focused review tests (30 qs each) - av. about 60-80%

Q Trainer 1 - 72%

Q Trainer 2 - 73.3%

Q Trainer 3 - 7 I'll be doing over the next week

:)

Q bank - eh maybe 60-65% average? I did the whole q bank and I'm not about to add and divide for average lol

There ya have it thus far...what do you guys think? Will I ever FEEL ready?? I'll keep you updated on other question trainers, for those prepping for summer 2013 NCLEX - let me know how you are all doing.

Happy studying!

:up:

Think so!? Um that made my night! LOL

P.S. I mean yeah test 3 was high but I find the priority, delegation questions/test so obvious so I'm more worried about my tests by the 60s...I don't like that number!!!

I received the You cannot schedule an exam right now please contact your board of nursing. I am having mad anxiety. I just wanted to know how long it took others to receive their results?:nailbiting:

If you're getting over 60% consistently, it shows mastery of the content. Sounds like ur golden! Remember, the NCLEX is set up so that if u display 60% content mastery, u pass. Just remember ur nursing process and Maslow's heirarchy in all of your questions! Guarantee ur gonna walk in there (or out) feeling like u didn't know a thing...and that's a good sign. =)
