how to improve test scores?

My exam is 10 days from now. I read saunders (not cover to cover but some topics on it). Scores were 50% at first then 60-75% now.

I read La charity, scores were 50% at first then 60-70% now.

I am on answering Kaplan Q trainers now. Scores are: (not done with 6 and 7 yet)

I - 68

II - 64

III- 68

IV- 60

V- 64

My dilemma is whenever i answer question in the book such as saunders q&a, free nclex 3500... my scores are 60-70%... since my score improved from 50 to 60-70, it didn't go up anymore. I am reading the rationales and looking up stuff that i never heard of. But my scores are stuck in 60-70.

Any suggestion on how to improve my scores? All suggestions are highly appreciated.

    Actually, I went into my NCLEX after hitting the 70% mark in my practice questions and passed the first time.

    Focus on the subjects and questions that are on the 50%-60% level. What are the subjects you are not strong enough in yet? Is it safe and effective care, prioritization, delegation?

    Remember, the focus is how well you do on adaptive test questions on NCLEX; the higher amount of complex questions you can answer increases your chance to pass.

    Keep focusing on those categories that you need improvement in while lightly review the others that you have no issue answering. Don't forget to read the rationales.

    Medications are my weakest. I just forget it everytime even though I encountered it before :(

    Focus on medication questions if you can...at least the classifications, common side effects, incompatibilities, administration of meds that can

    interfere, lab values, toxicity, which side effects are a priority to report to the MD, etc.

    For pharm, I used PharmPhlash cards for knowledge and the Kaplan book for strategies.
