Kaplan nclex-rn scores...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I AM FREAKING OUT ABOUT TAKING THE NCLEX-RN!!! So, I was originally going to take my NCLEX-RN in late October, but I have postponed the date (multiple times).

This will be my first, AND HOPEFULLY ONLY, attempt!

I have completed all of the online classroom instruction which includes 300 total questions with in depth rationales.

My KAPLAN scores are as follows:

NCLEX Diagnostic Test: 180 Questions / 54%

Question Trainer 1: 75 Questions / 44%

Question Trainer 2: 75 Questions / 56%

Question Trainer 3: 100 Questions / 51%

Readiness Test: 180 Questions / 58%

Question Trainer 4: 150 Questions / 56%

Question Trainer 5: 150 Questions / 53%

Question Trainer 6: 200 Questions / 62%

Question Trainer 7: 265 Questions / 55%

Qbank: 1,386 Questions / 68% Used so far / 53% Correct

On approximately 80 of the Qbank questions I received an automatic wrong/incorrect because I fell asleep (forgot to pause and save the exam for later), so my average SHOULD theoretically be slightly higher than 53%.

I have heard from several sources that the Kaplan NCLEX Prep is very much on par with the actual NCLEX-RN; if not more difficult.

I am scheduled to take the exam ay 8AM Monday, December 22, 2014. I FEEL CRAZY when I think about it . . . There is SO MUCH CONTENT that I haven't actually read/reviewed. Heck, I'm sure there's content that I've never even learned in the first place!

I am currently doing 150 questions/day (recommended as the maximum number of questions an individual should do daily by Kaplan). There are 568 questions remaining for me in the Qbank, so I should have 100% of the Qbank completed by 12-19-14 (just two days before my test date).

My BIGGEST concern are the SATA (Select All That Apply) questions. Those are by far the most difficult in my opinion, and it seems like I am reading more and more about test takers having upwards of 40 out of 75 questions that are SATA - INSANITY! Does anyone have any last minute words of advice or offers of encouragement???

yay!

I am taking a much deserved break. Just searching jobs online. I am going on a seven day cruise exactly one month from tomorrow!

Now that's what I'm talking about! You deserve it

Congratulations! I just enrolled for Kaplan yesterday (graduated Dec. 19). Haven't gotten my ATT yet so I don't know when I will take my NCLEX. Please give any helpful advice regarding the NCLEX or studying with Kaplan. Thanks

Just do ALL of the questions AND understand all of the rationales; both right and wrong. Whenever you come across a term or an area of content that you're not familiar with, Google is your friend! I barely touched the Kaplan Content Review book because it was so huge, and I knew it would just overwhelm me to try an digest ALL of that information. You know what you know, and if you have graduated from nursing school and you're seriously reviewing with Kaplan you should do just fine. Best of luck and congrats on graduating!!

Hi ForeverRoosky!

Congrats on becoming an RN!

Curious, did you end up finding any resources that helped you with SATA? I also find that Kaplan does not adequately cover that area (and they keep downplaying it). Any guidance appreciated!

Thx

How accurate are the kaplan scores on predicting passing nclex?

Wayemika, could you also email me at [email protected]. I would really appreciate it
