Hey guys I just graduated in May with my BSN. I waited until a week before the nclex to start studying. I really don't know if I should've studied earlier, or not at all. My mom is a nurse, and she kept telling me not to study. I graduated magna cum laude. I know it doesn't make that much of a difference, but it is somewhat comforting to me, here are my kaplan scores.
Diagnostic: 65%
QT 1: 56%
QT 2: 62.7%
QT 3: 52%
QT 4: 57.3%
QT 7: 60.4%
Readiness: 61.1%
I also did about 100 more Qbank questions in my weak areas, but I didn't do QT 5 or 6. I'm really having a lot of anxiety about this test. It's too late to reschedule, and I promised myself that I wouldn't study any more tonight. Does anyone have any advice? My family is so proud because I did so well in school, but I don't want to let them down and I'm almost on the verge of a breakdown. One minute I'm trying to be confident, and the next minute I'm losing my mind.

I'll be taking the NCLEX tomorrow too!! For me, I needed to study a lot longer than a week in order to feel a little more comfortable on the test day, but everyone is different. Some people study a lot and some people don't study at all. Kaplan wants you to be around 60% for your practice exams/questions, so you are at the level they want you to be at. I know how you feel about being confident one minute and not the next. I feel the same way! Have confidence in the knowledge you have....there's no way you could study or remember everything. Good luck! We'll make it through!!
