I'm brand new to this website and to be honest, I found the social network literally this week while I was freaking out over my NCLEX which was scheduled 1/17/2013. Not only did I find some relief from everyone's words of encouragement but I was trying to compare my scores on Kaplan's QTs and Qbanks to everyone else's and it seemed like I had so-so scores so I was realllllly worried about failing since this was my second time taking it. Anyway, I prayed and told God that if I passed, I'd join allnurses.com and release my kaplan QT scores and my status of the exam to hopefully ease someone's stress who might be experiencing similar anxieties as I had just a few nights ago. So here are my scores as followed:
Diagnostic: 54
QT 1 48
QT 2 57
QT 3 55
QT 4 55
QT 5 54
QT 6 55
QT 7 57
Readiness 61
Qbank 56% used 23% of content
So as you can see, my scores for Kaplan were pretty bad, but I took the exam yesterday, ended with 170 questions and passed! I tried the Pearsonvue trick last night and got the good popup. I was still pretty skeptical but I'll be honest, it did relieve some of my anxiety. I decided to sign into my BON website and found out that I had passed this morning! So don't stress over average scores on Kaplan, you can still do it! Good luck to you all! =]
thanks davi000! i used saunder's comprehensive review for NCLEX-RN, mosby's comprehensive review for NCLEX-RN, mosby's nclex-rn review med-surg iphone app, as well as Kaplan's in class review course! I really liked Saunders, the iphone apps and of course kaplan!
You're post is just what I needed to here! My date is 2/21 and I've been freaking out! Me of all people to freak out lol I was calm as can be in my ABSN program.
Anyways, I've been scoring in your range for the most part. Haven't done 6 or 7 yet as I am waiting to do them next week.
But currently my QBANK score is 57% and I've completed about 60% of all questions!
@lilblue8511, wow, 60% of the Qbank already, great job! Good luck on 6 and 7, they take foreverrrrr. But I'm sure you'll do just fine. Let us know how it all goes! =D
My advise is DO NOT take 6 and 7 to close to your actual test date.
The sheer size of those tests, as well as doing QBank questions, is burnout inducing. I felt like my brain was going to shut off, about 3 days before the test, I literally could NOT focus on doing anything long. 10 question sets at a time was all that I had the patience for.
BTW: I managed to complete only 50% of the Qbank questions.
