And got a 61% woo hoo! Im ecstatic because I got a 56.5% on qt6, and busted my butt off the past week to improve my scores. The strategy seminar videos really helped. I suggest anyone who has test taking troubles to watch these videos. It helped me to focus on the roof of the question, and not over analyze so much. I'm just upset because I changed FOURTEEN correct answers to incorrect ._. Sigh* I have to trust myself more I guess lol.
Also, how does anyone sit down for the whole 265. I was getting fidgety after 50 questions. I tried to take the test like it was the real thing, but I found myself taking a break to get up a lot and stretching out because my back started hurting (I have serious back problems) I sure hope I don't get the 265!! Perhaps I'll look up "desk stretches"

Congrats! Our instructor told us that you have to see when you need to take a break. Maybe after 75 questions, step away from the comp and just get a breath of fresh air. When I took the NCLEX-PN last year I needed a break around 78 questions...my test shut off at 85.
Did you do really well on qtrainer 5 & 6? I think our instructor tried to aim for 65% on those.
I didn't do so well on qt 5&6 I was in the mid 50s range.this was about 3 and a half weeks ago though, and I have greatly improved my scores since then. I strengthened content wise (which was my weak area), I used hurst for content, and I'm so glad I did it because it really helped!!
That's good you worked on content. I need to do the same. I'm going to read my Saunders book for that, because according to Kaplan I'm weak in Peds.
