Kaplan Fundamentals Advice

[Nursinghopeful19]

Hey Everyone,

So my nursing program utilizes the Kaplan system for focused reviews and integrated exams and I am just looking for a little advice. I am taking the Kaplan fundamentals integrated exam in a few weeks and am really stressing. This exam is worth 10% of our grade and if we don't reach a minimum percentage (somewhere in the mid-upper 60's) we receive no points at all. Failing this exam could put me within 0.5-2% of failing the entire course, which is terrifying since I have done reasonably well on every exam up to this point (average 90%). I'm just looking for anyone who had taken these exams what their experience was? I have no idea where to begin to prepare and our instructors have basically given us the advice of "remediate everything" which is overwhelming in your first semester of nursing school.

So if anyone has any experience or wisdom they would like to share on how they prepared, I would greatly appreciate it!

Ugh Kaplan. My school uses them also and I don't personally find it helpful at all. To prepare for the Kaplan tests I would suggest doing practice exams on Kaplan, they have a section where you can choose topics and build your own review exams. That will get you ready for the types of questions they might ask on the real thing
