Hi there.. I failed the first time I took NCLEX 265Q self study using saunders book just this year so I took KAPLAN review online. I am committing for the schedule they provided to follow after the end of the class. I am now starting doing their Q banks my scores are low I did 17% of the questions and only did 53% correct answers!!! Any advice and words of encouragement?? I'm planning to take my exam next month last week of Dec.
Miley22, I also have the 5th edition Saunders Comprehensive Review book, but I only use that as a reference when I need to look up a question from Kaplan. I gave up on reading it because 1) it was too overwhelming to read it all and 2) I felt like I was reading information I already knew. I decided I needed to focus on learning how to apply the information and figuring out what the practice questions are really asking (which is pretty much always how to keep the patient safe).
And thank you everyone for your support and kind words! I'm driving myself crazy (>_
Thank you for you kind words melai12...I hope so too. Do you have time to watch the videos on demand and read the thick book that Kaplan gave you at all? I did everything else, except for those 2 things....that's why I am really nervous. I am wondering if anyone passed the NCLEX-RN by doing the TRAINERS and Q-BANK ONLY???
Update: I have done 85% of the questions and my average Q-Bank score now is 62% still.
@ nneokill175: I haven't used the Kaplan course book yet (I have it on my book shelves)...because I don't have time to go over the videos (lesson on demand). I am using Saunders 5th edition along with Kaplan questions. I like Saunders book because it is easy to understand.
