Hey everyone I have a question..
I have boards scheduled for a week from this Wednesday (7/2/2008). I am working on wrapping up my studying but I'm not impressed with my practice test scores... Here's a little info on me..
I graduated an RN-ADN program on May 9th, 2008. July 2nd will be my first attempt at boards. I took the HURST review at the end of May. On my ADN final in nursing school I made a 911 on it (it was a HESI test) - supposedly if you make over 900 you'll have a good shot at passing boards on the first attempt.
I have taken two HURST practice NCLEX tests and a Saunders practice test (off of the 4th ed. blue book's cd), and I took a couple of tests at the NCLEX-RN 3500 site... I'm consistently scoring between 65-70% on the practice tests... HURST said that if I get more right than wrong I'll be ok...
So.. with making between 65-70% consistently should I be worried? I'm not trying to knock it out in 75 questions - I just want to pass.
Your thoughts? Suggestions?
