kaplan scores are mostly 56%-59%, should i reschedule my nclex date?

Published

I have been doing questions for 7 weeks now, and most of my kaplan scores are 58%. I have had better scores on qbank, but seriously, all qtrainors have been 58, 59, with the exception of one 66%. Im sitting for the exam next week, and im just freakin out i guess. I was wondering if anyone else was in this position, and still passed, or should i reschedule? Thanks... -Tim

I have not taken q trainor 7. I wanted to take it on sunday. But I might take it earlier, just because I have taken all of Q-Bank, and 2 of the sample tests. I just borrowed a book, so im starting on those questions tomorrow. I feel like if i dont do 200 questions a day im going to fail. I know im freaking out pretty hardcore, but its good to hear other peoples opinions, or stories about how they ended up, after doing a crapload of questions... I know the Kaplan lady said that if we get a 65% on Qtrainor 7, then we were pretty golden. Seriously though, im prolly not gettin a 65, hopin to maybe beat my continuous 58%...

65 is pretty unrealistic I think. I was told by my teacher if we get anywhere from 55-60 were good to go. I took trainer 7 last night. I got a 57. I seriously missed 10 questions bc I read to fast and missed out on the keyword. So I prolly would have gotten a 58-59.

But its not about the scores. It's about if u understand the rationale. I worked w a girl who got a.50 on trainer 7 and she passed. So just keep studying the rationales and I think u will be fine!

I think you will prob be able to do well. I have reviewed the Kaplan videos along with the book and my grades have increased from 50's to high 60's, 70's.....so i think the videos are great!

Reschedule if you think you need to.

SInce I have no more questions left in qbank, I decided to start doing questions from another NCLEX-RN Review by Lippincott. The questions do seem easier though. The first test i took, i ended up with a 76%. I think im just gonna keep doing questions and go for the gold next week.

My scores are very similar to your scores. I think we are going to do just fine. The only way we are going to fail this test is if we let our nerves get the best of us. Just keep reading through the rationals and taking those practice questions. I take mine on Friday! I will let you know how I do!

I did my Q-trainor 7 today. My score was as usual, a 59.25%. It took me approximately 3.5 hours. I did notice that on a couple questions, I picked the wrong answer, and immediately knew it after i hit next...So I know that i really need to take my time on each question. By the time i got to question 200, It was very hard to concentrate. All i can do now is study lab values, and hope for the best! Ill log on when i get the ole results. Thanks for the input folks.
