I am taking the NCSBN site. The material is in a outline format. It doesnt help you learn, however the questions are great. From what i hear they are as close to the NCLEX as possible. With that being said, I am consistently scoring in the 55%-60% range. However, there is no doubt in my mind that I know the material. They want you to score 75%.
From people i have talked to that teach review classes, they say that the most important questions you answer will be the first 15. That is what will take you above the passing or below the failing line. After that the computer will give you questions designed to get 1 right and 1 wrong based on where you are after 15 questions. So the best i can say is to really focus on your first 15 practice questions so you can get out of the gate strong. I just hate the fact that i cant get over the 70% mark with NCSBN, however i am starting very strong which i believe is the key.
Confidence is key, Think in your mind that you ar a RN and you will pass. Leave no doubt or uncertainty in your mind. I take the NCLEX in less than 3 weeks and not once have I said that i will fail. Be confident!!!!!!!!!!!
I am also doing the NCSBN right now. I did buy the Kaplin book and read through it and got testing stratigies out of it. I didn't do any of the practice test in it yet. I personally feel that the NCSBN is a good review. I also did the hurst online review. @zips71, I too have been getting 50-70 on my end of section reviews. I pass the interactive exercises. I had a friend who did this review after failing 2 times and she finally passed. Thanks for the tip about focusing on the first 15. I will def. pay more attention to that.
I did the same. I think I was 50-55% as well. But now I'm getting higher thoughout the lessons. I wouldn't let it discourage you at all. Based on how the nclex works, if you miss one, make sure you get the next 1 right. It may take you to 265 questions but as long as you roller coaster and just don't miss anymore than 3 in a row, you should be successful. Think positive and you will pass. Take a look at each question and learn from. Start off strong
