Meaning of test results of Kaplan Diagnostic Exam

Published

I got a 72.2% on my Kaplan Diagnostic test. I'm quite proud of that and feel prepared for the NCLEX (even while working full-time). :]

Does anybody have the test results of this test?

Like 60%-70% means you'll have __% chance of passing the NCLEX.

70%-80% means you'll have __% chance of passing the NCLEX.

etc.

I'm just curious to see what my chance of passing the NCLEX is.

On my exit ATI test while I was still in nursing school, I had an 87% chance of passing with a ~63% score. And that's WITHOUT studying. I wanna know what my chance of passing is now! ;)

Your chances of passing are best predicted by your decision about how prepared you are. And even then, the test is known to be unpredictable. Those who were ill prepared have passed, and those who knew it inside out, have failed.

Yeahhhh, I know. I just want to see the % of passing result for my score. I'm sure it has gone up to like 97% chance of passing now.

On my readiness, not diagnostic, I did 63% and that was somewhere between 89 to 96% probability for passing NCLEX, according to my Kaplan course instructor.

So, yours sure is more than 96%, but I don't know the exact probability. It might be 100%. lol

I don't know if you took readiness test, but readiness has more analysis and application questions than diagnostic test. So people tend to score little lower on readiness. Take readiness too, and if you score high like this, I would recommend you to take it tomorrow. :)

Thanks for your responses!

I just finished the readiness exam, and I got a 67%. And yeah, it's harder than the diagnostic exam, that's for sure.

The last trainers--6 and 7, I think--contain "above the line" questions only. "Above the line" refers to the types of questions that are considered more difficult by NCLEX standards. The expectation is that a student WILL do worse on the last trainers than on the first ones. 66% isn't bad, really.

Good luck tomorrow!
