I was wondering if there is anybody taking their Nclex Exam at the end of July and would like to be held accountable in making sure that they complete a set amount of question per day? I would like for us to login/check into the forum every day if posssible to say that you have completed your questions for that day.
I struggle with doing at least 100 questions a day! I am hoping that there is another person who could benefit from being held accountable.
I just completed 81 Kaplan Qbank questions therefore I now have finished 100% of the Kaplan Qbank. I have a cumulative score of 63%..is this good? Thanks in advance and blessings with your studies nursing friends.
am getting anxious, I'm testing on Tuesday next week (July 17). I've been doing questions on Saunder's and Nclex 3500, and so far I am getting 70-80+% on the tests. What else can y'all suggest for me to do?
rgm07 Im getting around 80% for the Saunders tests on the disc as well. Who thinks the Saunders questions are too easy? Can anyone tell me how they compare to Kaplan? I have covered all the analysis and application questions. Are there any Kaplan tests out there for free?
@Anne36: In my own opinion I would say Saunders' questions are easier than Kaplan. I have read the kaplan book from cover to cover, answered questions both book and cd. When are you taking the nclex?
I have Saunders NCLEX-RN Mobile Qs on my ipad (which are basically the same questions as the book cd and score in the 80s) and yeah, they are much much easier than Kaplan (no comparison in my opinion). I will do these questions as a good content refresher or when I've finished studying on one system (i.e. endocrine and do all of the endocrine questions)...but as far as difficulty and application level, they do not compare to Kaplan. But again, if you know your content (saunders) and how to critically think, it helps with answering Kaplan questions (which I've been told are the closest to Nclex). So if you think of it in that sense, it is still helpful and a great resource.
im doing the same about 100 per day. Are you doing it with all different kinds of subjects/topics? or just quizzes on the ones you are studying currently?
Checking in for this morning. I have listened to 4 hours of lecture from my Kaplan online source. Will do questions later this afternoon to finish up for today (need to rest my brain after listening and taking notes). I do not have class tonight so I can do more questions and review questions and rationales. I changed up my plan a little. Still using the same resources but went a different direction. I will finish my Kaplan classes and then focus more on content after because during class, I do from 60 to 75 questions, with the instructor and then I have content lectures for whatever we cover that night so I listen to them and take notes. so after my online class is over, then I will do a more focused content review along with Saunders and the rest of my qt trainers and qbank from Kaplan.
Im taking my exam tues july 17th. I have been studying since the end of April and still dont feel prepared . I read the Saunders book , but this last week have just been using Q&A review, and reviewing some notes I took from the book. I have good days were I feel I have done and prepared all that I can do ,and bad days were I just beat myself up and feel as if I dont know anything. This is truly a emotional rollercoaster and can't wait to get off .I cant wait to take this exam and hope for the best, because I am over studying and the stress ! It is so frustrating to have inconsistent scoring as well !!
