i feel really bad right now ( i plan to take my nclex rn exam in two weeks but i dont think i can make it ( i did answer the last test on kaplan's question trainer and got a 67%. need an advice. any of you guys know what's the average percentage you need to get (at least) with your practice tests? (to know if you're already prepared for nclex rn exam)

If you really feel unprepared, then consider rescheduling. Perhaps it would be better to take some more time. Otherwise, get into a positive mindset and go for it! Good luck.
thanks caliotter3. im thinking of rescheduling too and i really need that postive mind-set!!

Unless something has changed (I took the class last May), they told us that you want to be consistently over 60% and better yet, over 65%. The instructor said that over 65% on the 7th trainer was a good sign.

I did the Kaplan Qbank for PN and did terrible. I did some research and apparently Kaplan has some of the toughest question banks.

You did very well on trainer #7. Kaplan says that you need just 60% or higher, my friend did trainer 7 and got a 59% and passed the NXCLEX with 75 questions. I plan on doing my trainer this weekend my test is next week I hope I can score as high as you did, I have yet to get a 67% on any of the trainer questions. The last one is suppose to be a mock NCLEX exam so your good.

Don't feel bad!! I think I had like a 63 on trainer 7...I passed first time with 75 Questions! Just review each & every single question and its rationale, and you'll be fine. Wish you the best of Luck!
