Kaplan qbanks and saunders scores... Desperate!!!!

Published

Hi Everyone... First of all.. Blessings to you all.....

I am really frustrated from the Kaplan scores and I need some advice... As I am a mexican educated RN. It was really difficult for me to get used to the North American nursing protocols and rules. But I think I am learning. I have been practicing my QBank questions and I have finished 100% of Qbank.. I scored bad at the beginning as I was not used to the US nursing world... But I wanna know from those who have already passed the NCLEX RN if my scores are not that bad as I think they are. Well, When I began at the Qbanks I was getting 45% or even worse (26% at SATAS from kaplan Qbank) , but as soon as I kept practising the last 5 Qbanks scores I have answered are 60%.... 60%....60%....61% and 60% (all of them with 50 and 75 questions) ...Before that I was always getting in the 50s...I once scored a 72% at a 50 questions Qbank ( I really loved that score and that whole day) LOL....

I have heard that when you are getting in the 60s is okay, but I am not sure...

By the other hand , at Saunders I am getting between 68-72%

My last 100 questions test with Saunders CD software was 71%

I also answered the CD ROM of Kaplan BOOK with 180 questions and I scored 64%.

Please .. Tell me if I have a high possibility to pass or not.... I have read Kaplan book almost twice and practiced more than 2500 questions since I started studying. I am also reading Hurst book and practicing some questions from that book. I am planning to answer the CD ROM that comes in the book too....I will take the test in Harlingen Texas in just 5 days :S I am scared!!! Advices please!!!!!

I will really appreciate your answers and comments...

Thank you... :)

QBanks in the high 50s and 60s are a good indicator that you could pass. Did you do the predictor?

No one can tell you if you are going to pass or fail, but if you are not ready (none of us feel super ready ever) you can always reschedule. Everyone is scared, it's normal.

I cant remember what my Saunders scores were, but my qbank average was 58%
