Kaplan Book Test Questions Scores

[Just_An_Illusion]

Hi All-

I took the test in the back of the book and got a 65%. I've been noticing throughout this forum that if you score over 65% on the Q Trainers and Q Bank you should do well. Does that concept also apply for the book?

Thoughts please.:)

Long time no talk friend! I didn't do Kaplan review but I have heard it helped some and its alot harder than actual nclex. Personally, I knew I passed when it shut off and I seem to be in the minority. Most ppl feel like they didnt know alot of the stuff on it and walk out dazed and confused but learn they passed. Just know all the infection precautions and classes of meds. If its something u don't know then choose what can harm the pt the most. Truly, there's no way to prepare, its alot of application and knowledge. And its testing whether ur 'safe' not smart. Remember its nclex hospital/world so go by the book and not reality. Avoid reading into the questions, make ur best educated guess and move on. Don't second guess urself, go with ur gut. And be calm, confident and focused. The # of ?s means nothing. My coworkers got 75, 83, 105, 110, 160, 265 and all passed. Those who fail seem to get flustered and panic. And u know more than u think so go in there and think it's like just another nsg test.

U will do great!!!!! Be sure to do the pearsonvue trick and keep me posted!

Good luck!!!!!!!

Thanks Amybeth. I'm taking test on the 17th and trying to see where I stand. I must admit Kaplan questions, especially the Q trainer, questions are very tricky and difficult. So far, everyone who I talked to from our school passed with 75 questions! I even heard the NCLEX questions are similar to the tests we took in school. I don't know about that, but I'm still doing questions everyday with Kaplan and Saunders.
