kaplans diagnostic test

[tolerantgirl]

I finished the qbank and my average was 69%. I took the diagnostic test and my score was 82%. I am going to be taking the question trainers today. My test is scheduled for Wednesday, but I am still really nervous. I really don't want to postpone it because that will just increase my anxiety. Does anyone know the score you should have for the diagnostic exam? I have been studying whenever I can. I have been off work the last 5 days and have been reviewing all the online content videos and I have reviewed all the rationales for questions missed on qbank.

I took Kaplan too and just passed the NCLEX-RN last week with 75 questions. I think the Qbank questions were the best!! You really learn a lot. Your diagnostic score was really high. That's great. Don't postpone that test. You know more than you think you do! Good luck. Keep us posted.

Be careful not to overstudy just before the test - take a day off to clear your head. Also, be prepared to walk out feeling like you failed - but don't freak out! I felt completely prepared (did all the Kaplan), but then felt like a total failure during the test. Remember, you are getting about 50% of the questions wrong, and it's hard to feel like a success under those circumstances. Don't worry, you will pass!

I am just doing questions. I really didn't have the luxury of not studying the day before the test because I have to work full-time, 2 kids who are extremely demanding, and a husband who is lazy, so I had to study today and just a little tomorrow. I am doing good on the question trainers, so far 68% on the QT1 and 70% on QT2. I know I will feel like I failed the test, but I am just trying to build my confidence by doing the question trainers, which is working, because 2 days ago I was telling myself that I was going to fail.
