KAPLAN Scores! HELP Nclex-RN

Published

Hey guys! I graduated nursing in the Philippines March 2014 and I took my local board exam there and passed May 2014.

(In the Philippines we would have class everyday, full of content reviews and some days all we would do is sit down and take hundreds and hundreds of practice questions.)

I took a break before studying for nclex, I did my requirements so I can apply for nclex in the state of Nevada. The CGFNS and TOEFL. I took and passed my toefl even though i grew up in california just to comply with requirements. After passing my application to Nevada, i got my ATT in 10 days. I was in shock! So i scheduled my NCLEX Exam on the first week of May. I decided not change the date, even though i have until the end of May to take my nclex.

So, I enrolled in Kaplan. I attended the live session.

Here are my scores (SO FAR):

Diagnostic Test: 56%

(After seeing my diagnostic score i was a bit discouraged, so i read kaplan content and listened to kaplan content videos)

Question Trainer 1A: 63%

Question Trainer 2A: 69%

Question Trainer 3A: 62%

Readiness: 58%

(Our kaplan instructor told us to take readiness test towards the end of class, i did not finish the whole thing I was so tired and was falling asleep on it. Never take this unless your well rested)

Question Trainer 4A: 60%

Question Trainer 5A: 69%

Question Trainer 5B: 88%

Question Trainer 6B:

Question Trainer 7B:

I havent taken my Question Trainer 6 & 7 since my Kaplan instructor told us it most resembled the NCLEX exam, to take them last. I'll be taking it next week. Hoping to get 65% or above.

I take about two sets of 75 Questions daily until I used up all the questions in the bank. My Qbank average is 60.42%

QBank Sample 1: 68%

QBank Sample 2: 56%

QBank Sample 3: 70%

QBank Sample 4: 20%

I would say my major weakness is OB, SATA's, Drag & Drops, & Pharma, but sometimes the questions are just so difficult it makes me scratch my head. Although, I still plan on taking on more Qbanks (incorrect only) and retaking my Qbank Sample 4 so that i can master my SATA's

I would love to hear from you and your thoughts and suggestions for more improvement. Ive only been seriously studying for about 1 month and a half. My anxiety is increasing after reading so many posts here on allnurses.

P.S. I love this website
