Studying hard but still gettin 60% on practice test

Don't get wrapped around the axle over predictor test scores. They go both ways. Rely on your own judgement.

What test are you practicing? Some I heard are harder then the nclex.

Hi Merry Christmas!

My advised is FOCUS!!. Read and understand the rationales. Prioritization and drugs. Test strategies is more useful tho knowledge of each nursing area greatly helps. Discipline yourself to not get too distracted with people around. YOU are the one who's going to take the NCLEX not them..So the game is yours to win!! Good luck!! Practice QA's and focus on rationale ..understand it.

Thanks for posting this, it pust me at ease. I am getting 75-85 on Saunders and about 61-65 on Kapplan. LaCharity I have been doing high 60's, but I am trying to just see the good in this and be happy that I have the opportunity to learn from these tests. I am grateful I have them at my disposal.

learning ext was extremely helpful. but its only good if you have time to really study and use it. its really the only thing i used. i studied for a month straight everyday for about 12 hrs a day. two days of for work (doubles) :/. but if you really study using it ull be fine. the nclex was nothing like the test i took at school. the questions are structured different and learning ext helped me with figuring out what the questions were actually saying. do the review and ALL practice tests at the end. good luck hope this helps.
