For those of you that have practiced with Kaplan Qbank, did you think the Kaplan questions were comparable to the NCLEX questions? Or did you think Kaplan's were harder? I've been pretty disappointed in my Kaplan scores, and I really feel like I should be getting higher scores. Getting nervous.....

hi, since i haven't taken nclex yet (i take it on friday) my opinion might not be that valid but i will say that everyone i know who has taken kaplan has been passing and their scores have been really varied, many of my friends said their kaplan scores weren't good and they thought nclex was easier overall. i think the best thing for you (and me) to do is just stay positive, study smarter not harder, and don't get discouraged. just try to get through as many kaplan questions as possible and really understand the rationales. have faith in yourself!
Thanks! I'm trying to stay focused, but it's hard! What are you using to study, besides the Kaplan course?

I thought that the Kaplan questions were very similar in style, and complexity and prepared me very well for the real thing.

Don't look at the scores, look at the questions you've missed, understand why you missed them and move on.
