Do you think Kaplan Q-Bank questions are considerably more difficult than the NCLEX itself? I test in 20 days and I'm all over the board with my scores. I'm ranging from 40's-70's!!! I have NO clue where I stand right now.
For me, it just "clicked" and I started getting better scores. I just kept doing questions. Here are my Kaplan scores - test shut off in 75Qs and I just found out yesterday that I passed:
Diagnostic: 56
Q1 First time: 50; Second time 71
Q2: 63
Q3: 53
Q4: 57
Q5: 56
Q6: 56
Readiness: 62%
Overall Q-banks was 59% with 100% completed.
They say you should be at 65% - you can see, I was in the mid to high 50s...but once I took the readiness test and it was over 60% I scheduled the date to take the test.
I would say just keep doing a bunch of questions, read the rationales and once you are consistently getting in the high 50s to 60s, you'd be ready.

I got a 59% on my QBANK. I DO think Kaplan was a little harder than NCLEX! I passed 3 weeks ago! :)
