How many questions right on Saunders?

Published

Just wondering, I'm doing the Saunder's CD's, 100 questions twice a day (total of 200 questions each day), what is the minimum # of questions you should be getting right. I have been scoring somewhere between a 65-75, and I was wondering what this means for the actual Nclex.

Thanks.

I don't officially know what that means in relation to the NCLEX. I can tell you I have the same question as you and I passed the NCLEX. I was consistanly answering the Saunders at around 70-ish % give or take.

Good luck!

Do not do more than 100 per day and review the rationales for each an every answer.

I've also been getting around 70% with Saunders.

I usually got around 70-80% and passed the board with 75 questions. I studied for three weeks straight after graduation. I think you are doing great. Just make sure to go over all the rationales.

85-90% consistently but I have been at it for so long (6 weeks?) - and I cannot stop now - still four weeks to exam. Been sticking to 100 a day and rationales. I am better at ruling out incorrect ones after Sauders exercises as well as meds and labs. Frankly - Am horrified. Geena

Which book are you using? I have Saunders Q and A. Should I have the first book as well to compliment it? The one I have has 1800 study questions.

I am using Saunder's comprehensive review book, and I do the questions on the Saunder's CD's.

Saunders comprehensive. You might want some more practice questions?

Sorry I meant 5200 study questions. Is that enough? I am also taking Kaplan and my school offers a review course.

Out of curiosity, why not more than 100 questions a day? How would 150 or 200 a day hurt my chances?

Would it be better to do 200 questions a day for 4 weeks, or 100 a day for 4 weeks? Is it the number of questions that we do, or the length of time that we spend studying questions?

I'm doing 100 q every day using EXAM mode right now and get 80-87%, is that good score?

Can you guys share with me how exactly do you use the CD? One more thing: has anybody noticed that is in one mode there is repetition of the questions?
