HELP ADVICE PLEASE..

[NemoNunu]

Hello,

I take NCLEX in 12 days and I am worried. I been studying for over 4 weeks and that doesn't mean anything in my thought of mind. I have test anxiety and I doubt myself so much. This will be my first time testing and I am in desperate need to pass on the first try. I had listened to all of HURST review once. I have taken Kaplan course and this darn tree driving me nuts. I feel I am only using it to basically slow myself down and can only apply it to certain questions.

Kaplan:

Q1:49

Q2:55

Q3:52

Q4:54

Q5:48 (I was frustrated)

Q6:58

Q7:59

Kaplan Qbanks with 379 left to go: Highest score was 68% the lowest score was 48%. My test scores 55-60 most of the time.

PDA: my scores are in the upper 60s. I don't know what I am supposed to get in these.

Saunders: upper 60s as well.

TIPS anything that can help. I have nervous break down everything day and cry.

no need to cry! I take my test next week and am freaking out too, but it's important to try and stay calm...if you sike yourself out too much it'll only make things worse. I know Kaplan recommends getting 60% or higher on their exams, but people pass the NCLEX even with scores lower than 60%. as for the decision tree, I wouldn't use it if you feel it isn't helpful...I don't like it that much because it causes me to overthink more...just remember ABC's, physical takes priority over psychosocial! your scores from PDA are similar to mine, not sure what good scores are for that but I just go with the 60% rule for everything. the most important thing is to remediate no matter which program or book you're using. supposedly Kaplan and pda are slightly harder than NCLEX so hopefully that's true! good luck!
