I took the Kaplan (2012-2013) Strategy Practice Exam on the CD. I answered all 180 question and scored a 76%. What is considered a good score? My lowest categories were management of care and psychosocial integrity. I'm going to read those chapters in the Kaplan Strategy Book

Thanks for the info and encouragement.

Good luck to your future career.

I will appreciate if you could share some tips.

[wish_me_luck, BSN, RN]

Hmmm...tips...I'll be honest, NCLEX was not what I expected. I think PDA helped more than Saunders. If you come to a question that there are two answers that sound great and you know one is absolutely right and the other one kind of sounds right but you don't know. Go with the one you absolutely know is right. Stay calm and know that you know more than you think you do.

I am trying not to disclose anything that could be considered a violation of Pearson Vue/NCLEX testing rules.
