Qbank scores going DOWN!!!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

From my earlier thread:

Diagnostic- 65%

QTrainer 1- 61%

QTrainer 2- 51%

QTrainer 3- 52%

QTrainer 4- 62%

QTrainer 5- 57%

QTrainer 6- 63%

QTrainer 7- 61%

Readiness- 67%

Sample Test #1 52% 50 questions

(I first did the Sample Test #1 then read that you are supposed to those after you are done with the Qbanks. Ugh!!)

Qbank #1 53% 75 questions (I then read that if you are testing later than sooner only do no more 50 questions a day. More Ugh!!)

Qbank #2 60% 50 questions

I did Qbank #3 yesterday and got a 52%!!

I did 75 questions even though I think I'm supposed to only do 50 and I chose all sections. How can my scores be going down the more I study content and do more questions???? I am scheduled for July 29 but think that I'm going to move it back 1 week and order the LaCharity book since I have a lot of issues with those type questions. Thoughts???

BTW, I had to do ATI through my school and did one of their NCLEX predictor tests two days ago and exceeded the benchmark!! :confused:

Thanks! :unsure:

My scores are all over the place on the QT's and Qbank tests! I have averaged between 55-64% on all of them, but the diagnostic was 73%. Did you have a Kaplan review course at school? Our school had us scheduled to do all the QT tests except 7 and a representative from Kaplan came to our school and did a week long course with our graduating class. She told us that after QT2, you will notice a fall in scores because the questions are "More" NCLEX like.

I have been doing only 50 qbank questions at a time. I don't want to overwhelm myself lol! I did take a few days off after graduation and it seemed to help me clear my head and look at everything with a fresh perspective!

Thanks for replying xojamieox! I took the 4-day Kaplan Classroom review over two weekends. We had to complete Diagnostic, all of Qtrainers and Readiness within the course. This morning, I did move my test back 1 week and ordered the LaCharity book. My anxiety was going through the roof and now I feel a little bit better.

Good luck!!! ;)

Thanks! Good luck to you too!! I'm a nervous wreck without having the ATT, so I can only imagine what I will feel like when I actually schedule! :bluecry1: Have you received the LaCharity book? Do you feel like it will help?

Seems to me you've been doing good on your trainers and q bank. Don't stress out too much over 1 q bank score. I think the overall grade is more predictive of your overall readiness. There was a q bank session where I only got a 49 although my overall score was 66% after finishing it. I didn't know you're supposed to do only 50 questions at a time, I always did 75.
