yeah I know alot of people from the kaplan batch that I enrolled with who failed. You can't really say it's 100% guarenteed to make you pass, I know someone who's been with Kaplan 4times and finally bought a Saunders Book and passed on his 4th attempt. On the other hand I have friends who took Kaplan and passed without even going through the entire book on their first attempt yet they were successful. Don't rely on Kaplan for your pass rate..It's a toss. Some people pass with it and some people don't. If you fail I recommend that you buy a Saunder's Book (4th Edition). Personally I think that Saunder's is good for getting content and Pathophysiology and Kaplan is good with Practice Questions and Test Taking Strategies..Just my 2 cents.

I really think if you do all the questions kaplan has to offer and understand all the rationales you'll do great. Your scores sound like they're in the same area as my scores and I passed with 75 questions. Try to focus more on the questions rather than the videos and the course book. I also found the questions on nclex to be a little easier than the questions from kaplan.

I know everyone is different, but all of the people who I took kaplan with have passed with 75 questions. I think their pass rate is like 94%, or at least that's what I heard. Good luck!

I enrolled in Kaplan, got scores high 60s to high 70s. I failed the first time I took the exam. I was very anxious when i sat in front of the computer.....i wasnt certain of my answer on the very first question which made me even more anxious. So, I guess confidence & relaxation will kinda help you when you write the exam.
