I just graduated in May and had to take ATI Live Review through my school and took the Kaplan NCLEX-RN Review Classroom on my own. One would think that I would be blasting through QTrainers and QBanks but I think that my nerves are getting the best of me!! Serious, serious tachycardia going on when I do questions! I'm testing July 29 and am considering getting something from my PCP to calm me down.
Here are all of my Kaplan scores thus far:
Taken during Review Classroom:
Diagnostic- 65%
QTrainer 1- 61%
QTrainer 2- 51%
QTrainer 3- 52%
QTrainer 4- 62%
QTrainer 5- 57%
QTrainer 6- 63%
QTrainer 7- 61%
Readiness- 67%
Qbank taken after Review Classroom:
Sample Test #1 52% 50 questions
(I first did the Sample Test #1 then read that you are supposed to those after you are done with the Qbanks. Ugh!!)
Qbank #1 53% 75 questions (I then read that if you are testing later than sooner only do no more 50 questions a day. More Ugh!!)
Qbank #2 60% 50 questions
I am studying content from Kaplan's Content Review book but only a little from ATI's , doing some ATI online questions, watched a few videos of content, wrote down most of the rationales after taking most of the Question Trainers, Sample Test and Qbank 1. I just took Qbank # 2 earlier today so I didn't write those yet.
Do you think I should rev up my Qbank taking since that's where the tachycardia occurs and cut down on studying contentent? Also, here is something really bizarre: I consistently do better on the Application and Analysis questions across the board!
Any pointers, advice, words of wisdom or vitual hugs would be greatly appreaciated!!
Thank you in advance!!
