I've looked in the Kaplan book and can't find it! Thanks! I know it's just to see where you are, but I know they want a 60% for some tests and a 65% for others. Just freaking out because I didn't get a 60!

The diagnostic is just the beginning and according to them, one of the 'easier' tests you'll take b/c it's comprised of general knowledge, content based questions along with some NCLEX style questions. The diagnostic serves more to show you your weak areas and where you need to review. The 'scores' come into play when you get to the point of doing your Qbank and Question Trainers.
Per Kaplan, the diagnostic is no indicator of whether or not you are prepared to sit for NCLEX. That comes after you've done your Qbank and the final two Question Trainers 6 and 7.
I think it is a good program...kicks your butt, but makes you think. I started my course the first week of January and have consistently improved, so I guess it is working! Really hoping that I'm one of their successes soon. Good Luck!!! :)
