Discouraged from Kaplan scores

Published

I just took the Kaplan course 2 weeks ago and am scheduled to take my NCLEX last week of June.

I've been taking q-bank tests and have been consistently getting 45%-55%. I am feeling SO discouraged and don't feel confident at ALL.

Has anyone passed their boards with Kaplan scores like this?

Yep, those were my scores too. I passed the NCLEX first time with 75 questions. Don't let it discourage you but take it as a lesson. Review the book that came with the class if you can. It really helped me get better scores.

I've been using Saunders and am contemplating buying UWorld as well. I like their rationales. I just took another practice Q-Bank test and got a 59% on it last night...so I'm not sure what's going on lol...I think I just need to practice more.

I think that was our entire class. We all passed the NCLEX. Another resource that I can give you that really helped was a youtube guy Michael Lenears under "simple Nursing" he is amazing and gives you a lot a fun ways to remember things.
