Am I ready?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I've been studying for about 3 months now. This will be the 4th time taking it. In the past, i have used HURST, and Kaplan. This time around I have reviewed the whole book of Saunders Comprehensive, and used the Saunders Q&A for practice exams/ questions 100/day. I've been getting 65-84% on my practice exams. Mostly 70s. And I've been doing La Charity's Prority and Delegation book. I feel like I dont have enough delegation questions.

I recently took a practice exam from Kaplan and scored 62% and I believe I'm borderline. I was confident up until I took this test to determine how far along I am. I believe 70% is the pass rate for this particular practice exam. The first time I took this diagnostic test, i got 48% so I know I've improved. I'm starting to raise systemic anxiety and I'm taking a couple of days off.

I was gonna take my exam next week, but now I feel like I'm starting to forget things and I dont know if its because of my anxiety or because its been 3 months. I rescheduled it for the end of May, which is in 3 weeks. I dont know what else to do except answer more questions and look at what I did wrong, and look over areas I have difficulty in..but I dont know if thats sufficient enough for me?

I feel like I'm not really reaching the top of the mountain, just stagnant. Please offer me some support and incite. Thanks

Do not keep on rescheduling you will never feel ready enough to take the exam. I gave myself 3 weeks to review. I dont know if I am ready yet but I will still go take it next week.Your Kaplan score is good. I think the kaplan lady told us to not worry with 60. I think it is a passing score.Good luck.

I too am getting ready to take my exam again, 5th time. I did the entire saunders book and the q&a book. SO hopefully this is it for me and for us!

Sounds like you are ready to take it. Wishing you good luck.

Thanks for all the support. It helps alot!!!!
