Kaplan for NCLEX

Published

Did anyone who study for Kaplan think it was harder than actual NCLEX? I’ve heard people say that before. Also, I’m having a hard time breaking past my 50’s averages. I’m trying to get into the 60’s. I’ve been skimming through the book and writing down things I need to review. And also ding the trainers and going to start the Q Bank questions.

I start Kaplan next week! I read in the book you want to aim for 60-65%. I failed my first CAT exam. Hoping to improve. Please keep me updated on your progress.

have you taken the NCLEX yet? I take mine a week from today and have been trying to find anything about how Kaplan compares to the actual test! Just trying to mentally prepare myself.

Hi novicenurse20, I def think it wasn’t aaaaas hard as I thought it would be but I passed in 90! The only reason why I think I didn’t pass in 60 was because I got several questions on a specific topic and I kept questioning myself and choosing opposite answers for each one. But the number you get doesn’t matter! I reached the 60’s in a couple Kaplan tests but then began to trend down and I started panicking. I think I was just getting information overload and overthinking. Kaplan does a great job of preparing you I would say. I think if you’ve been preparing with Kaplan you’re on your way to passing! Good luck and keep me updated?

thank you this makes me feel so much better! I've been averaging around mid 60s on my Qbanks but I started to panic about being too used to Kaplan and then freaking out if the NCLEX was super different. CONGRATS on passing!!
