I took my second nclex 8/7 i get my results tomorrow I got 75q and the good pop up, but i know i personally searched these forms about kaplan and uworld. On my first attempt i ran out of time and did 224q i was near passing and above passing. i used Hurst the first attempt it was good content but i didnt feel like it helped me at all. I got a full refund and spent it on other programs.
Retake Plan: i thought i needed to learn how to speed up so i could answer questions faster so i bought Uworld and Kaplan and did 75q from each bank and reviewed rationals. I also used the 35 page study guide that is floating around on here.
Uworld: my ending average was 55% on my second attempt i had 1 question that was very close to uworld. I found that the rationals were very helpful in helping with content in general. i did 75q everyday for a month and wrote the rationals down and studied those. i was scoring ranges from 48%-70% why i found this one helpful was it had lots of alternate formats which does help you on NCLEX.
Kaplan: i did just the qbank and i bought the kaplan premier book and only read through it once. my overall ending qbank sore was 60% i was scoring ranges of 60%-68% my second attempt was more like answering kaplan questions. I personally felt i was doing a kaplan practice test and was shocked when it shut off at 75.
- i have been freaking out about the questions on my test but it mirrored kaplan questions which are all passing level which has made me feel better about it.
I personally think if you have a good understanding of the content then you should do questions to test your knowledge. Everyone learns in there own way and the i honestly think that the NCLEX so random. It just depends on what test you get. My first test was nothing like my second. Its be over 24 hours after my test and i am still getting the good pop up. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS FORM IS ABOUT!
