[melai12]

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.

First of all i would like to thank everyone for the encouraging words. made me feel better after today's 56 on a qbank test. I just graduated in may and i plan to take my test sometime in July. I took the Kaplan Class review and i thought i was great but what i'm having problems with is the Decision tree. Most of the questions i have to skip to step 5 and then it becomes the guessing game. does anyone feel the same way? I also developed a little study routine for myself each day. Since my test is about one month out i do about 60 qbank questions, followed by a period of brief frustration, then i review my test questions and write down the rational. after i do this i take a small break and watch content videos. i watch about an hour of video a day since there is about 20 hours of content. i also struggle with pharm so since there is 90 categories or so of drugs i split them up and study 3 categories of drugs a day. before i go to be i review the test rational and review the drugs one more time. does anyone else have any suggestion on what i can or cannot do? i get a little discouraged when i take a test and my scores fall in the 50's. i haven't finished all the qbank questions yet but i'm averaging a 59% on my q bank test with about 900 questions left. my diagnostic test was 65, readiness 61, q trainer 1: 65, q trainer 2: 68, qtrainer 3: 59 q trainer 4: 57, q trainer 5: 56, and q trainer 6: 63. I'm saving trainer 7 for a few days before the nclex to get a dry run of the test. if anyone can give me advice i would greatly appreciate the input. thanks and have a great day

My QBank average 57.

Question Trainer: 1.64 2.63 3.47 4. 55 5. 54 6.57 7.58.

Passed my NCLEX PN with 85 questions. It all comes down to being able to answer Application and Analysis questions consistantly about 50% mark.

Hi all,

I wanted to share my story. I know I freaked out before I took the NCLEX, so I thought I'd give back some relief.

I did ATI during my degree, thought that was useless.

Once I graduated I watched the Hurst Videos, and then I did Kaplan and the Qbank Questions.

My average on the Qbank was 50% and I did 80% of the qbank questions. I was terrified. My scores started out in the low 40s and by the time I was at test #20 and ready to take the NCLEX, I was in the 60s. So Qbank really did help. I fully suggest the Qbank with rationale.

I took my test on a Monday 9/10/12, My first 8 questions were "select all that apply questions." I almost started to cry, those are so hard! Then 75 passed and I needed to regroup and carry on. I ended up with all 265 questions! I thought I was going to die! It was so hard. I had every type of question! I left feeling like I knew I failed. Then I came on here to find some caring words.

The next morning I did the "PV trick" and I got the good pop up! I was very skeptical. Then the following day (today) I had a license number online! :) So that was great! I never expected to pass after all 265. But some how I did.

BUT I passed!

I wish you all the best and good luck! You can do it!
