Kaplan scores and NCLEX

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm taking my NCLEX for the first time in 2 weeks and I am so nervous about it everyday I think about re-scheduling it. Not getting a good score on the kaplan qbank questions makes me want to change my test date even more. So far I have done 70% of the qbank questions (841 so far), all question trainers, and sample tests 1 and 2. My scores are not consistent, which just makes me feel like I'm not ready at all. I only got a 61% on QT6 and 57% on QT7 and I am so freaked out!!!!! My average score on qbank is 60%. My readiness test score, when I took it on the last day of my Kaplan in-class review, was a 63%.

I'm planning on retaking my questions trainers this wkend to next wk and see if my scores will go up or down. I've only gone over the rationales for these tests once right after I took them, and it's been about 1 wk since I took QT7. Also, I'm afraid I'll run out of questions on qbank before I even take the NCLEX.

* I also have the Saunders Review book and Lippincott q&a but I have been focusing on Kaplan this past 2 wks. I'm afraid I'm gonna overwhelm myself if I keep taking questions from 3 different sources but I know it works for some people.

Any advice or help? I am soooo nervous!

hi, im also taking mine less than 2 weeks or like 12 days from now. My kaplan q trainers are also low. i got 68 on q1, 64 in q2... and im going to answer q3 today. I did read La Charity book, and answer questions there.. at first im scoring 45%... then 60-70% at the end. I think it's actually helpful. My saunders also are in 60% to 70%. I hope we all pass.

My scores for Kaplan are:

Diagnostic-66

Q trainer 1-61

Q trainer 2-67

Q trainer 3-56

Q trainer 4-62

Q trainer 5-61

Qbank-58% and have done about 60% of bank so far

Readiness-72

I am testing in 13 days and feel the same as you! My Kaplan instructor told us we should get a 65% on q trainer 4&5 and a 60% on 6&7 which I still have to take. Have you watched any of content videos??

@bridg0809 - Wow I think your scores are better than mine. :) I was told by my instructor the same thing. I've watched some of the content videos but not all because I found that it takes a while to finish one chapter if I do the videos. What about you?

you can order it in amazon. I had hard time before with delegation and prioritization but i think got better on it after i read and answer the questions in that book.

Okay thanks. I just feel very overwhelmed I don't know if I'm doing enough studying.

I'm really freaking out. And with how my scores are, I feel like there's no way I'll pass. But I always think like this though. I just wanted to hear other people's opinions and see how they're doing. I think I'm going crazy! LOL
