Maybe you should check into a live review program.

Good evening everyone!
I have been doing Kaplan Qtrainer and have been getting very discouraged... i know kaplan wants us to do 60%and above but I am not even near those scores:barf02:
QT1-33; Qt2-48;QT3 54, QT4-55;QT5-45.... i have not done the Qbank just yet...
I am getting very disappointed...Please advise, what shall be my plan?
Thanks

Maybe do the qbanks first before you do question trainer 6-7 because those are harder

@peppermintP, thanks, i will do so... for some reason i was under the impression that kaplan instructor said to do all the qtrainers first and then qbank...

i did kaplan on demand online review..,found it very helpful

Well, helping really depends on what difficulties you are having. When you are doing your trainers, do you find that you are having problems with the content in the question or is it that you feel as you understand the content the answers are just wrong? I think that if you are having trouble remembering content then you should watch kaplan's review video or read a comprehensive review book, and I personally prefer Saunders. If you are finding that you understand the content, but you get the question wrong because you aren't thinking the way kaplan is directing you, then you need to do more questions to teach yourself to answer the questions correctly. I think kaplan's decision tree is really exhaustive, but the overall theory works. It really tries to get you to follow the fundamentals of the nursing process, which we really get away from as students with our instructors quizzes.

I really had to teach myself that I wasn't studying for a regular test, and to look at things from the nursing process stand point. At first it felt really wrong, but once you thing of it their way it starts to come naturally. Good luck with your studies!!
