Kaplan: Diagnostic/ Readiness?

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Anyone else do better on the diagnostic than the readiness? I got a 64% on the diagnostic and a 57% on the readiness. I am taking my exam next week. Feeling bummed! :( My scores on everything have been upper 50's to lower 60's. Not sure if I should reschedule. Also, not finding any info on Kaplan's NCLEX test drive exam. I got a 62%. What is a passing score for this test?

I reset my diagnostic and readiness exams and took them again (without studying rationals for those tests). Feeling a little better. I repeated my score of 64% on diagnostic and got a 62% on readiness. So, I am feeling a little more confident. :)

I just did a diagnostic and also got a 64%. And no idea if that's good or bad. I have 3 more weeks to study. Wish they provided some kind of a bechmark.

They say 57-62% is good. At least that what my instructors told me back in he day

Diagnostic is content as is qt 123... Worry about getting higher for qt 4-7.. I took Kaplan course with an instructor in person. Readiness and predictor are good for seeing where u stand

I got a 63% on my diagnostic test and will be taking the readiness one tomorrow. So far I've only done QT1 60%, QT2 57%. I am currently finishing up the live review and going back to look at the rationales. I am testing in just over 1 week so I am super nervous! I have a lot to cram in in that time. Keeping fingers crossed that Kaplan pays off! Good luck to you :) I'll be taking my RN boards.

I ended up getting a 61% on the Kaplan readiness test, I thought it was a bit harder than the diagnostic test. Were you able to go back after you clicked out of the diagnostic and go back later to see rationales? It won't let me and I really want to review these. Also, how did you reset to retake these?

No, I couldn't go back for the diagnostic test. I called Kaplan and had them reset the tests. You can have them reset as many times as you would like.

Also wondering if folks read the Kaplan "RN Course Book" as the course suggests or used other materials for content review?
