Kaplan Qbank Question

Published

Hey all

So even though I'm enrolled in Virtual ATI (it sucks) I'm thinking about taking the plunge and paying the $300 for Kaplan Qbank. I figure that if I were to fail my boards the first time, it would cost me way more than $300 in lost wages and paying to take the test again. So I want to be SURE I'm ready. My question is, how long does it take to complete all of the questions provided? I know it will be different for each person but just want to get a feeling for how long it will take because I plan to schedule my NCLEX-RN immediately after completing the qbanks. Thanks in advance! I've found this website and all of you at be SO very helpful! :)

&& the PN one had maybe 1200 questions . So depends on you. But ours only let us do up to 50 at a time . && I believe they had like 2 or 3 practice test . Didn't get to them , ran outta time . I'm actually going to purchase again if when I'm finished all my books & ati & still not doing on questions

I did ATI and Kaplan, do Kaplan. Its worth it and if you can swing the live class I really liked it. I'm very "meh" on ATI. I think their practices questions are much easier than Kaplans, and its especially annoying how much easier the practice are vs the proctored.

they give you a number of schedules based on how long you wait to take the exam, like if you wait 3 weeks I think you have to do one hundred something a day. I did the 5wk plan, so I do 50-75 questions a day.

If you can swing it, spend a little extra and do the Kaplan class (even the online version). The tips and tricks for approaching the NCLEX were invaluable, IMO. Is there a Kaplan seminar coming up in your area? If so, they sometimes do a discounted rate if you sign up there (mine was $379 instead of $499 that way). Plus, they throw in the med guide (though I only had 2-3 med questions, including one calc). I didn't make it far through that, and focused, rather, on the Kaplan Content Review Guide (free download on Amazon, or you can purchase it there for $38, which is what I did, as I prefer hard copies of books).

The Q Bank would be helpful, but I think doing the class as well is worth the added expense.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to try to do the whole Kaplan shabang if I can. Once I finish ATI, I'll dig a little deeper into Kaplan and see which plan would be best for me and my budget. I'm trying to stay positive and hope to kick the NCLEX in the butt!:up:

Like the Kaplan FB page. They have coupon codes (there was one yesterday apparently) for different services, which might be helpful. :)

You've got this!!!
