I take NCLEX-RN on July 17th and here I sit, inside my house, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon on July 4th weekend.
I bought the Kaplan qbank software this afternoon because of how everyone raves about the program on here. I really don't know anything about the Kaplan qbank and it sounded to me as if it was a program that gave you a bunch of practice questions and I had a goal of 60% to let me know I was 'ready' for the exam.
I get to the questions part and it was the most hardest questions I have ever seen with material that was completely not in my brain hiding anywhere for me to dig any kind of answer out of it. The test was over and I received 20% correct. Ok. Went downstairs and made lunch. And sulked.
Came back to it after an hour, another test was done, 26%. Geez. I know the NCLEX-RN is suppose to be hard but THIS hard??
Did some searching on the website. Apparently I have signed up for a test that people take before they become doctors!
SO, work to the wise, before you get wrapped up and start flipping out your credit card to anything that has NCLEX prep on it, do some research first. My brain hurts...

I was reading through, going, OMG, you need to review...
Then I saw what happened. Ouch! Have you spoken with anyone at Kaplan? They may work with you and get you switched to the NCLEX-RN.
Good luck!

Me too! I was going to try and help you the best I could. I felt really bad for you. Then whew!! Glad it wasn't a content knowledge problem!!
Good luck trying to resolve this.
