Kaplan question trainer results

[luv2shopp85]

I'm scheduled to take my test on 8/17. I'm taking the Kaplan complete review course next week. So today i decided to try the question trainer test number 1. I got a 60%. Is that absoltuely horrible? I thought the first tests were supposed to be the easy ones and the last ones were the harder ones? If I can't pass the easy one how am I ever going to pass the harder one??

I did take the question trainer test 1 about 3 months ago and I got a 31% on it, and then I took it about a month ago and got a 50% on it. never looked at the answers after the tests though because I didn't have time and then forgot about it. So i wasn't memorizing right answers or anything. Is this good that I've gotten a higher score this time?

60% is just so depressing and sad!! :o

I havent taken any official or formal review. 60% isnt bad. i have heard that kaplan is really difficult. make it as your guide. if you arent happy with the result, review more. Nclex questions are far different from what is given from any review center or books. Maybe the same construction of questions but not its entire content. I dont really rely on one time scores. Keep on practicing more questions. gain more information and knowledge. thats what we need.

Come back to reality!!!! Thats is quite good. I took Kaplan Complete Review course last month and took boards last Friday...Pass with 77 ?'s. The course was really good! Hands down. The key is to understand the process of eliminating incorrect answers to get to the correct one. Kaplan will teach that. The other thing is reading every single rationale even the ones you got right. Kaplan would like for you to score at least a 65% on the question trainers so a 60 isn't bad at all. My instructor told us that we would score low on the first few, which are lower level exams. It is eaxams 5-7 that you want to score the minimum of a 65% on. Kaplan will tell you that if you score a 65% or above on exam 7 you have a 99% chance of passing. I scored the following on my question trainers:

1-58%

2-60%

3-58%

4-65%

5-63%

6-63%

7-65%

Just get in the habit of consistently staying in the sixty. Also do ALL of you Q-Bank if you can. Sounds like you are on the right track. You will be fine.

ah the agony of 265 more questions, but you say it gives you a good idea of whether or not I will pass NCLEX.

I needed to hear that- gotta go

gotta finish this now.

I'm reviewing Suanders now, but planning to take Kaplan course. Any suggestions what course to take? is it better if i take the complete course with classroom hours? or just the complete online course? Please help me to decide. thanks a lot!
