Collegegrad08 when you say do 5 in three days 6 and 7 etc. Do you mean stop in the middle of them and space it out over three days ? I thought we were supposed to do them in one sitting.
Thanks for the positive energy:D I DO have three weeks and I am having fun but I feel bad doing it like I should be studying.
Thanks again totally boosted my moral and I can go back at it
I mean do 5 in all one sitting, and don't do any other questions or studying the rest of the day. And for two or three days get some qbanks and content reviews in, and then take the next test on a new day, all in one sitting.
Hi guys, I'm taking my nclex this saturday on the 26 in orlando, fl. I was scoring 70's and 60's in qt 1-4 then qt 6 I scored 56, qt 7 I scored 53, ouch!! Anyway I'm reviewing qt 7 now and I plan to take it again this friday or thursday. I won't reschedule no matter what! My diagnosis is 63 and my readiness is 68. I just want to pass. I have 3 children depends on my passing. I need words of encouragement. Did anyone with scores like mine passed nclex the first time?
I know I'm replying to an old thread but when I was preparing for NCLEX this summer, this thread added to my test prep anxiety. So for all those who have not met kaplan's standard 60-65% on their QTrainers. This is my experience:
QTs 1-3 don't really matter they build you up for 6 & 7 which are similar to what you will see on your NCLEX.
Diagnostic score: 48
QT4: 53
QT5: 61
QT6: 57
QT7: 59
Readiness: 61
I am a non-traditional student, Nursing is my 2nd career move, studying in the caribbean and I took the kaplan review course this summer, after 10 months of an accelerated ADN program. I passed NCLEX on the first try with 75 questions. My scores were never consistent, I averaged 65% on my qbank quizzes (ans 95% of qbank) and alternated days of questions w/content review. To supplement the course I bought the examcram book to fill in the gaps for info I wasn't familiar with. I put in my study hours daily took a few days here and there but it was my #1 priority and well worth the time spent. Good-luck to all, don't be discouraged if you don't meet kaplans standard, because when you take your NCLEX you are not going to know 50% of the questions asked, unless you have photographic memory.
Prioritization and Delegation and Assignments by Lacharity, Lippincott's Alternate Format Questions, using a month access of the Kaplan review, flashcards going to work with me everyday..lol.., studying for 1-2hrs dly, positive thinking, and most important God is what helped me pass the NCLEX the second time.....thank you God...Denise RN
Thanks for your recent post on the old Kaplan post. I'm taking some good advice from it and also from a reply I got from one of my posts: Only I can decided when I'm ready to test, bone up on content and know it, and, don't put too much emphasis on the predictor scores!

Just keep at it! You will be fine!
