Hello Everyone~
I am scheduled to take my Nclex in 2 days. I am thinking of re-scheduling because of my Kaplan scores.
My scores are as follows.
Dx test: 66
QT 1- 64
QT2-63
QT 3- 57
QT4-61
QT5- DID NOT DO IT. Was concentrating on finishing my q-banks and studying content and videos
QT6- 68 ( just did in last week Thursday)
QT7- 65 ( just did it today)
Nclex readiness- 68 ( I did it during the Kaplan class 2 weeks ago)
I have completed 84% of my Q bank with an average of 65%. My scores were mostly in the 60's though I got one 46% ( my first attempt at using the decision tree) and a 52% and a 58%. One 80% and a few 74% ( 3 to be exact).
How are my grades?? is it good enough to go for the nclex on Thursday?? What doyou all think? Also in this final stretch , how should I study??
Also those that have taken the NCLEx and did Kaplan?? is Kaplan harder, easier or just the same as Nclex.. Will appreciate your 2 cents.
HELP!!!

Your scores look good. Its up to you, if you feel confident to take the test. Just know your lab values and EKG's. Relax the day before the test. I took Kaplan and got 60's and above most of the Qtrainers and passed. Good luck!

I, for one, thought NCLEX was harder than Kaplan but I was also innundated with SATAs and alternative format questions.
Your scores are good with Kaplan. Like PP said, relax the day before. I got up early, went to the gym, cleaned my house and stayed busy the entire day so I konked out early and slept well.

I have schedule to take this Nclex again for the third time, I am so worry and anxious about it. I don't seem to remember everything. I need some suggestion with the drugs part of this exam.
When did you take your exam?? How long ago?? How many questions did you get??

I took the NCLEX this afternoon and it was IMO easier than Kaplan because it was more straightforward. I too got a LOT of SATA and drag and drop questions but they weren't very hard, I think I missed maybe two SATA. I also only got a handful of questions on meds and two math questions. I got similar scores as you did on Kaplan and I did a only 27% of the Qbank so I think you are ready! Good luck!
sn: I got the good pop up after 75Q
I took it Jan 7, had 75 questions.
