To everyone who has been checking in on the forum, I know I'll sound very silly for asking... but you know what they say, "He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning."
where do i find the Kaplan QBank? ive been hearing a lot of buzz about it but i dont understand where to find it. is it part of their course? do they also offer that here in the US? there are a lot of materials by Kaplan that's on the forum such as Kaplan Strategy Book, Kaplan Course book, Kaplan trainer. with all these, i'm getting all confused.
The important thing is to answer the questions and study the concepts, not to get too tied up with the scores, because like it was said, one can score poorly yet still pass the biggie. Good luck.
I was so sad with this Qbank.Couldn't get over 55-57% My head was and is still boiling at this time. I am using it to take my Nclex in 5 days.I dont know if it will help.
i get frustrated too sometimes...my scores have been between 50% to 76& and when i get in the 50's i feel so dumb, mad and then sad that i will fail the test, i dont know if they are really good indicators and sometimes when i concentrate too much i get low and sometimes when i dont over analyze the question and just pick the answer right away i get higher...WHATS WRONG WITH Me?
there's nothing wrong with you. i'm also using kaplan qbank and their quetsion trainer. my score is 52-57% mostly. i hope to pass. i test in two weeks.
I don't really think the scores matter. Me and my friend took the actual Kaplan course together, she passed her first time with 75 questions on the RN boards and was only scoring between 50-65% on the practice tests...I on the other hand am about to take the RN boards for my THIRD time and was scoring between 60-75% on all the practice tests with Kaplan...so what does that tell you??? Nothing really!!! Some people handle actual test taking better than others I guess, I don't really know!! I was quite confused myself (still am) but dont base it on your practice scores just keep doing the questions and hope and pray for a passing score on the actual exam itself. Good luck to everyone who is about to take it :)
Arghhh! I was supposed to take Kaplan at a discount but too many people in my class sold out or changed their minds about taking it so we didn't have enough people. I would love access to the QBank. This girl at my job said I could share with her but she keeps stringing me along. When I ask her about it she'll say, "I told you I would give it to you" but then days go by and she never does. Then I ask her again and she'll say "Oh yes, I'll give it to you tommorrow". I don't want to be a stalker. So now I'll have to buy it (bummer)but I'll have to wait until after next week when I get paid and I wanted it like last week. THEN after I get it, she'll probably say " Oh I told you I would give it to you" but since you already got it oh well. GO FIGURE.
