Take QTrainers 6 & 7 and go from there.. They area good indicator since they are all passing level questions. Your QBank scores aren't bad..but you need to score your QBank as a whole, rather than each test. You are supposed to have 60% or higher average on QBank and QTrajners 6 & 7. Even if you don't get that, don't worry. You can still pass NCLEX. Just make sure you are reading all your rationales and understanding why you are missing questions!

Best of luck:)

Also - don't listen to what everyone says to know! Focus on your weak points.. Just because they had something a lot on NCLEX doesn't mean you will. If I studied ECG strips it wouldn't have done me any good. Medications? Sure, you need to know them, but they aren't going to be every question.. And if you don't know the medication - that's ok! There will be stuff on NCLEX you have never seen/heard of. Just focus on what the question is answering, and do your best! You will be fine.

My advice is, change your date if you don't feel ready , it is a difficult test and you want to be prepare for it. Everyone is different and you will get different opinion from them, but the only person that knows your test taking ability best is you. Some people scored low in the practice test and still manage to pass neclex while some score high and yet failed neclex. There are people that get a lot of SATA questions while other people did not, every test is different so prepare yourself. Good luck l will be praying for you

I have to disagree with changing the date. The experts say to test as soon as possible after your graduation.

I don't think anyone ever really feels ready. If people who weren't feeling ready kept changing their date, they would never end up taking it.

Your Qbank questions should have a cumulative average of 60% (don't look at each individual one). Qtrainer tests 4-7 are where the actual higher level questions are. Kaplan wants your scores at 65% or better for 4 and 5, andn 60% or better for 6 and 7.

so you're testing on Thursday? My plan would be...

Today------------do qbank questions.

Monday----------do qtrainer #6

Tuesday---------do qtrainer #7

Wednesday-----off (take the day for you, rest, relax, just generally chill)

Do you have the Readiness test? If so...then I'd say

Today...... do #6,

Monday.... do #7,

Tuesay..... do the readiness test

Wednesday...off

Just took mine thursday. 75 questions. Had a lot of peds and maternal and pharm but my classmates didnt. Know your labs and your fluid/electrolytes cold. That helps you figure lots of things out. I did Hurst review and thats all I studied the week prior. I knew my core content well and that made it all seem do-able. There WILL be stuff on there you have never heard of and stuff you vaguely remember. But if you know your basics cold you can figure it out. It wasn't as bad as I had feared. I felt pretty solid. Just remember it is a judgement test more than anything so if you focus on what will kill your patient and Web at you can DO to prevent it you'll do well

I am testing on Wednesday. I do have a 61% average on the qbanks as a whole. I'm about to do Qt6, and will probably do Qt7 tomorrow. I got a 62 on the readiness. I guess that's all I can do at this point, besides praying :) I will pass, I will pass, I will pass!!!!
