No, there is not.

I'm sorry but there's no diagnostic test out there that is truly reliable. test scores can go both ways. You can get a 70-80% on kaplan (which according to them, if you are above the 65% you are doing great) and fail while those who barely make 60% passed. I did a predictor test my school offered before I graduated and it says I have 99% chance of passing the first try... well whadya know, I failed my first take. I suggest do as much practice questions and review every single rationales.

no matter how much people search there is never going to be a definitive test that predicts your outcome. the test is different for everyone who walks in there. the level of difficulty and topics vary with your responses. you could feel like the test was easy and asked you about stuff you knew, or if you were like me, asked you about stuff you didn't know. even though i walked out of the exam feeling like i failed, i passed! this test is about decision making not necessarily content knowledge. use your instincts (gut feeling) and insight to pick up on hidden clues to assess or treat the patient that is in "silent" distress or who needs attention first according to abc (airway breathing circulation) or maslow. the test targets your weak areas so try to read up on the stuff you don't know about.

my advice to you regarding diagnostic testing or reviews... try the kaplan nclex-rn exam questions & strategy guide book for question practice and strategies. this is the best study manual you will encounter, it is very similar to the nclex plus it is short and to the point. if you feel like you are answering many of the questions accurately then you are in the ballgame for passing the nclex. also for content review get the mosby study cards for pathophysiology, fluid & electrolytes and pharmacology. those are the best review books i ever got and are again short and to the point. hope this helps.
