Congrats rn_soon you passed!! That's the good pop up! I on the other hand took it today at like 9AM and left like 11AM after 75 questions. Had a lot of SATAs maybe like 15-20. But I tried the PVT 30 min after and a pop up that said this appeared, "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this tim". I'm getting so worried because that's the NOT te good pop up...it's different =/ I tried again an hour after and it's still saying the same thing.... =(

I too had about 20 SATA....my weakness. I hope pvt is real. Im sure u did great. They say the more sata, the better. Fingers crossed!

ok update.. i tried the PVT and it changed to this: "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." I'm tooo happy right now!!!!!!!!! Congrats to us rn_soon!! But we'll wait until a few days to find out for sure (well I'll have to wait like until tues maybe cause CA doesn't participate in quick results). But ahhhhhh I'M SOOO HAPPY!!!!

Congrats to both of you! I just read through the thread. I've been doing Kaplan and the all nurses study guide although my Kaplan score isn't as near as good as both of you. I am hoping and praying I get the good pop up next Tuesday!

[rn_soon]

The Qtrainers definitely mirrors the NCLEX. It's timed and each Qtrainer goes up in numbers (from 75 to 265). Question trainer 1 being the easiest and Question trainer 7 being the MOST difficult. The Qbanks have different levels of questions and you do 50 at a time (the max.). All of Kaplan Questions made me feel as though I was failing. This speared me major anxiety when I sat for boards because it felt as though I was doing another Qtrainer.

Just did my last two q trainer 6 and 7. On 6 I got a 63.3 and on 7 I got a 61.13. Kinda bummed about that. I test Tuesday. I think I am going to read over the rationales from all my tests for the next two days. I am just burnt out on studying.

Bummed?? What are you Bummed about? that's excellente'!!! Kaplan suggests that you shoot for a 60% on QT 6 and 7!!.....I was burned out too. You're ready for your test. I was the most anxious person while studying for my test for 3 weeks. Are you taking the Kaplan course? I used the course. 100% Qbanks and all 7 Qtrainers. Those are great scores. Please don't beat yourself up like I did.

I haven't done all of the q bank. I don't know that I have enough time to do it all by Tuesday.

How much of your Qbanks do you have left to do? What was your Readiness score? Take your time. Do not rush trying to cram things in. This is a point that if you don't know it now, you aren't going to learn it in a few days on an anxious brain. Pace yourself. You have today to do 150 questions, Saturday same thing, Sunday same thing..Go over all rationales. I promise you that they stick in your head and you are able to pull them out on NCLEX..Do NOTHING on Monday!!!! Rest and relax. Then go take your test on Tuesday. I found that Kaplan OVER PREPARES you for Nclex. That's why doing those questions and Qtrainers are so important. You have very good scores and it appears that you're heading in the right direction for success on your NCLEX.

oops just checked I have 73% done with 60% average.
