Kaplan?

Hey guys...so I am taking my NCLEX sometime in July (no att yet). I took the comprehensive 180 question ATI when I graduated and had a 97% chance of passing on the first try. I have been studying for about two weeks now and today took the 180 question Kaplan practice test at the back of the book (I am not taking the class)...I got a 64! I'm not sure where to go from here with my studying...should I keep doing questions? Should I go back to the books? I don't know what my Kaplan score indicates or which would be more beneficial :sstrs: ugh, i'm dissappointed and don't know exactly which direction to turn...

I think 64 is a pretty good score. I took the Kaplan class and they told us a 65% was very good. I have a friend who took her boards last week and studied only with a Kaplan book. She was getting in the 60's on her tests. She passed with 75 questions.

I am scheduled for boards July 8th .. I am using the Kaplan q bank and the NCLEX 3500 (free online edition) for review. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

I never reviewed nclex in test mode because i didn't have the patience. I didn't take any exam that will somehow gauge my chance of passing. I was always just in the review mode. I was panicky too before i took nclex since i just self-reviewed. But i did it. I passed. So i think that with the patience you have, and the test scores you are getting in your review, you will definitely be an RN.

Like others have said, a 64 is a good score. I would keep practicing questions because it'll get used to you answering NCLEX style questions. Also, you'll run across topics/concepts you may have never thought of before. Those little tid bits will stick in your mind with repitition. My med/surg class was horrible and ended over 6 months ago. I walked away feeling like I learned very little. But by going through Kaplan's questions I couldn't believe how much I picked up on in 3 weeks. It's a very good refresher.

Hi, my boards are schedule for July 9th....Where do you get the free online edition???

Just google "Nclex RN 3500" and try the various sites that come up because they all don't work. The one from Delta College works well.

anyone have this in pn? this is an awesome link! i really like it, just wanted to take the pn one since that's what i am taking.

I would continue to do questions and study those rationales right up until the day before. That is the day to relax. Good luck.

64% is great. I did every question in the qbank to make sure I got my money's worth. It sound like you are already very prepared, and these next few weeks will be a great way for you to solidify any concepts you may be unsure of. Good luck to you in July!

I took the Kaplan readiness test and got a 62% with 15 questions left unanswered because I ran out of time. I am aiming to take boards July 2.

thank all of you for alleviating some of my fears! i am taking my boards tomorrow and am prepping with kaplan. after consistently getting in the 59-75 area i broke down into tears.:bugeyes: . after reading all the posts....i think i am going to be ok. as for kaplan, it is a great review. i started studying on my own and am so glad i decided to take this class instead. congrats to all of you who already passed and good luck to all of us getting ready to take it!
