My overall Qbank was 59 percent. I only did 70 percent of the questions. I passed NCLEX first time. Good luck!

You CAN do it. Forst of all, you got the right idea (in my opinion) with the Kaplan QBank. The NCLEX set up is extremely similar to the Kaplan set up. Keep practcing computerized questions, since that will be the format of your exam. Review all rationales...even if you get the answer right. Kaplan wants you to pass as much as you do, so keep doing their questions! You have a few weeks to keep at it. Good luck!!!

HI!!! I am taking boards in 2 weeks, my Q bank average is 51... still need to do question trainer 6 and 7, are the 50's horrible???

question trainer 6 and 7 are as close as ur going to get to the nclex without taking it

so if u score 65 on those, ur ready

Predictor test scores are known for going both ways when it comes to passing or failing. One needs to rely upon their own judgement about being ready to test.

My overall bank score was 58%. I passed nclex with 75 questions. I did all of the question trainers and 90% of qbank. Try reviewing the content videos of your weak areas.

My overall bank score was 56%. I passed nclex with 75 questions my first time. I did all of the question trainers and 40% of qbank. I reviewed all the content videos and read the whole course book.

Here's my story...did Kaplan and got a 59% on Diagnostic. Did the first 3 trainer tests & only about 40-50% of the Qbank questions, both of which I got progressively WORSE (at one point got a 46% on a set of 50 questions)! My Predictor test I got a 56-57%, so I went down there too. I was beginning to get really jaded. I thought some of the Kaplan questions were way out there too (like intubating over giving Epi to a Pt who got stung by a bee, rxn sxs were coughing, sneezing, flush face, & feeling warm, I get that you need an airway but what part of the stem shows the airway is compromised?).

I looked at what my weak spots were on each test then would do some questions in those areas. I also reviewed the content lectures (had them on while folding laundry or something) of my weak areas. Reviewed labs and made some ways to remember them. I was getting really discouraged, to the point that I was tempted to reschedule my test. I didn't reschedule & hoped for the best. I didn't feel like the Kaplan course decision tree worked for me. I actually went back to a Kaplan book I picked up at a book store and reviewed the part on how to use Maslow, the nursing process, & safety to answer questions.

I took my test this past weekend & got my quick results 2 days later...PASS!! And I only got 75-80 questions (last looked at 71 & then remember answering several more before it shut off). I thought I miserably failed. Anyhow, it's still possible to pass! And in talking with some classmates, they were beginning to get similar results and they passed as well. Good Luck!!
