Kaplan Qbank scores

DatMurse · Nov 21, 2013

Hi,
I am doing kaplan Qbanks. I got scores like
52%
42%
54%
62%
62%
36%
54%
QT 1- 59%
I did not schedule exam date. I lost twice already. so I am scared to take it immediately. I took kaplan recently. I am loosing confidence with my scores. What do you guys think of my scores? where am i standing? Please give me an idea.

I think you need to beef them up until around 65% each

Yes, I agree. If these scores are from your first try, then you are on the right track. i would redo all of them a second time for sure. But you might wanna focus on trainers 5-7 since those have more questions and will better prepare you to last the possible 5-6 hrs without freaking out or what not on the test. Aim for 65% on trainers 1-5 and then a 60% for 6-7. These percentages are recommended because it ensures that you have better chances of staying above the passing line when taking the NCLEX.

Thanks pretty. I am feeling much better now with your words like,i am on right track. I did

QT 1 - 59%

QT 2 - 58%.

I am trying a lot to reach to 65%. I am sure,i need to put more efforts.

Once again Thank you.........

Look over your weak areas starting with Qtrainer 1-3. Those are just knowledge level questions to see if you are not understanding the content. Do you use the decision tree? If so qt 1-3 would be good to practice since they are supposed to be "easier". You will see your scores increase if you look over rationales and then look up the content immediately to cement it. I agree with PrettyLady87. Keep it up. :yes:

I agree with what others have said!! Make sure you read each rationale whether you got the answers right or wrong. Do Qbanks everyday and so about 150 per day aiming for 60-65% each time. Don't be discouraged your doing fine!!

My scores so far are pretty close to your's, never below 50% though. When I took the readiness test, I got 60%, but when I took the diagnostic exam, I got 53%, which I thought was weird because it was supposed to be easier than the readiness test. Did anyone get these scores and still passed the NCLEX?

the scores you should be paying attention to is trainers 4-7 , aim for >65%. your bank scores are ok but as the previous posters stated you should keep refining your scores. Trainers 1-3 are content centered so use the performance reports to guide your studies. good luck!

Thank you for your advice.

My score in QT 3 - 65%.

QT 4 -56%

I got my ATT. I scheduled my exam date. It is just 3 weeks away. I am freaking out..........

I'll take remaining 3 tests in next 2 weeks. I really stressed a lot.

Just took QT 6 and got 66% and I also took the sample test #4 on prioritizing and scored an 80%. If my test could be all prioritizing, I would be golden!!
