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:

i took my test this morning and it shut off at 75 questions in about 45 minutes. Definitely not that bad, i had prob 10-15 sata. As soon as my test shut off i felt a huge pang of relief and knew i had passed. Pvt confirmed that i passed. I left there confident in my test and wanting to cry with joy :)

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

so happy for u!!!!!

The Qtrainers, Diagnostic, and Readiness tests only come with the review course, either online or classroom.
