Math on NCLEX

Published

Hi

Im so nervous i'am preparing to take my boards in almost two weeks. I have completed the kaplan course and now i'am doing over the kaplan questions that I got wrong and also my saunders cd. Any hoo Ive been doing ok, however the math that is on kaplan is very hard versus the math that I learned in nursing school. I was only taught 3 formulas and also my conversions. I'am fine with just coverting someting but when there is alot of numbers i get so confused and dont know what the question is asking me . My question is, is the math that is on kaplan the same as boards or can you please share with me how bad the math is on boards so i can prepare myself. I understand that I might not get any math or maybe even a couple, but i just want to be prepared just in case.

Thanks so much I would be forever so grateful

p.s. does anyone know of any good books that just have math that prep me for boards. I'm so desperate and i dont want to get little questions like that wrong.

I only had one math question on boards and it was calculating Pit for a preggo mom. Wasnt too bad.

I just took the NCLEX-RN and had no math questions. Others who've taken the test recently are reporting that they've had a few math questions, but nobody had very many. I think you'd be better off to study areas such as infection control, priorities and delegation, which seem to be emphasized on the revised NCLEX.

Agreed with the post above. I've also heard that math ?s are considered lower-level ?s, so the fewer the better I'm assuming.
