Is it bad...

That I am only getting 60's on these exams... Saunders and Kaplan cd? I'm freaking out now I have nclex in August...

I have been doing these questions 100 and each time I get a score of 58 to 60's... I'm not feeling confident at all now and now I feel like I'm definately going to fail...

I say forget doing the exams on the CDs & instead put the CD into study mode & do the questions one at a time-& then read the rationale right after you do the question. That is how I studied for NCLEX for 6 weeks & I passed it on my first try with 75 questions. I think that is a better way to practice answering questions because then you won't get hung up on trying to shoot for getting a certain percentage right; i.e it might help lower your anxiety level. Just know that you don't need to get most questions right on your NCLEX to pass it-you just need to be sure you are answering questions at or above the minimum competency level. Good luck! :)
