Kaplan practice test

I just took a Kaplan practice test and scored a 66.

Is this good or bad?

What do they say to get on the practice tests to indicate you will pass your NCLEX?

I have the review book and it didn't really say much about the scores at all.

If you look in the book, you will find the answer. I also did Kaplan. I can't remember what 'passing' was, but I do remember finding the answer in the review manual.

Good luck! Boards are not as hard as the Kaplan questions. You should be well prepared.:D

Kaplan says you should have 65% + on their material for passing the NCLEX. Personal experience says you don't need to score that high but I've seen posts here from people who scored extremely well on Kaplan but didn't pass the NCLEX.

I took a live Kaplan review that was paid for by my school, and I also studied questions from Kaplan's online test bank. Kaplan recommends that you need to score 65% on their practice tests and question trainers consistently. However, I scored less than 65% on some of these tests and still passed the NCLEX-RN with 75 questions. My personal experience was that the Kaplan practice questions were moderately more difficult than the actual NCLEX questions that I had answered in the testing center.
