Just completed the Kaplan readiness exam and scored a 60%. My score on the diagnostic exam was 59%. I plan to test in a couple of weeks. Nervous.

i think the kaplan rep told my class the ideal score was 60-65, so you're right there. i scored 71% and took the boards today, so we'll see if that percentage means anything soon.

It's your Readiness that need to be at 60 or more. The diagnostic showed where you need to go use on study but still want the 60 your really right there. Our guy said when you take your readiness if it's in the 60s you're ready

Thank you! I'm right at 60 but I still got time to learn more and answer more questions so that's what I am going to do.

My diagnostic was 55% and my readiness was 61% and I passed first time. I was very nervous as well, and two days before my exam, I called Kaplan and asked them to unlock the diagnostic so I could take it again and I scored a 79%. It really eased my nerves and there was no charge to have them do that, you may want to try it just to be able to relax a little.

I did diagnostic test before graduate because they gave us extra point who got above 60% . (I did 62.7%)

I just doing q bank questions every couple day. We will start kaplan 4 days course next week. I get around 60% on q bank..

Should I wait to finish 4 day course for readiness test ?

Ozzy, I made sure I didn't go back over it before I took it the second time because I wanted a "true reading" of how I stood so I'm not sure if it was same questions or not. After about 2000 questions during the 5 weeks I studied, I truly couldn't remember. Sorry!
