You just have to start from somewhere I was like that the first time I had to start preping for the exam but the drive I got was when most of my classmates had gone and taken the exam and passed so I got motivated and started reading for the exam and I can tell you the longer you wait the more uninterested you become towards reading,goodluck with reading and start with maybe 10-20questions just to get you in the mood.

When I took the Kaplan Review course, the instructor said that 65% is equal to 90% pass rate for the NCLEX.

I am also about to take my boards and I'm going over the Qbank questions and Saunders, since people on this board have been saying those books helped them.

Good Luck!

I took Kaplan too, passed it a few days ago on my third try. My qbank average was 53% and qt was arround 58%, my readiness was 63%. So I think you are good to go. Relax and say calm. Tell yourself you can do it. Good luck.
