Kaplan Scores & NCLEX

Published

Specializes in Pediatrics.

Hey everyone! I'm just a few days away from taking my NCLEX exam and my nerves are definitely getting the best of me. I watched Hurst videos for review of content, did some questions from Lippincott Q&A, but Kaplan has been my main focus. I had two weeks of the live class and I feel that it did help some. Here are my scores:

Diagnostic - 69%

QT1 - 67%

QT2 - 65%

QT3 - 59%

QT4 - 67%

QT5 - 70%

QT6 - 63%

Taking QT7 tomorrow!

Finished ALL of the qBank with 65.7% average.

Readiness - 71%

Did anyone have similar scores to mine & passed the NCLEX?

Also, does anyone have a good strategy for answering SATA questions? Unfortunately, this is my weak area and I know the exam could end up being a majority of SATA.. which only adds to my nerves!

Please someone calm my nerves! lol :)

I thought the select all qs from nclex were easier than ones I've gotten in the past from kaplan and nclex mastery

I've been reading people's Kaplan Q Trainer scores and it seems like if you get 59%-73% you are generally in a good spot to place...

Umm...these are some of the best Kaplan scores I have seen!!! As for SATA, if I remember correctly, QT4 was all SATA and it looks like you nailed it! Going by these scores you will do great!

SATA is everyone's weakness! We all hate them, treat them like T or F questions. You should be fine.

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement! I took my QT7 today and got a 61%, so I made it over the recommended 60%, but it makes me worried that I wasn't able to do better especially considering I'm testing in only a couple of days! Can't believe how fast time goes.

Also, unfortunately QT4 isn't all SATA, or I would definitely be ok! haha :) None of the question trainers are all SATA. I'm just going to try to focus on doing those & use the T/F method you shared with me. Thanks again!!

There is a question bank on Kaplan that is all SATA. I forget where it is though, but it's not under where the Q trainers are. I also scored a 61% on Test trainer 7, and passed NCLEX. You'll be great! Remember to review the rationales, and you've got this!

It is sample test 4 that is all SATA questions not the trainer 4. Good luck with your test

Thank you, missmollie! I'll have to come back & let you all know how I do :)

And thanks, mzrRN - I only did the first two sample tests so far. I'll have to do 3 & 4 tomorrow for sure.
