QT 3: 68

QT 4: 64

QT 5: 61 (dont know what happened here..)

QT 6: 66

QT 7: 68

I did 100% of the Qbank and got 62% overall. Did La Charity twice. Took the practice test in exam cram. Browsed my Saunders a couple of times. And read the kaplan course book twice! Im getting crazy studying!!!

Those numbers look respectable and are above the threshold Kaplan posted for successful NCLEX. I don't think that the numbers alone can determine if you are ready or not. Take a minute to contemplate how you feel now compared to the last time you tested. Do you have a better grasp on the material? Do you feel you tested better doing the Qtrainers or Qbanks? I think sometimes we worry too much about failing and it produces undue pressure to succeed. I would continue to answer 100 questions or more a day until June 10th, and then try to relax for a day. Get a good nights sleep, a good breakfast, and go kick its rear end!

You scores look good. Pray and go for it. My scores were slightly lower than yours except QT2 76 and I passed 3 weeks Ago. Just make sure you went over what you have missed. Also I was internationally educated.

Hi I was wondering how you take these quizzes/questions is this something you have to pay for? I do not want to take the course since I have already taken another course but I could use some practice quizzes.

Thanks!!!!

Your number are fantastic. I did the Q bank and got somewhere from 45% to 64%. I did 4 of the QTrainers and got scores ranging from 54% to 63%. I did not do the readiness. Took the NCLEX today and got the good pop up. I would say, you are better prepared for the test. Also there is a reviewer going around the site and it helped me. However, the vast majority of questions were things that I was unfamiliar or new to me or were simply deeper or more complex than the Kaplan questions.

So i rescheduled my exam on the 20th of June because i have to attend the 1week intensive review in kaplan. I feel so much ready now compared to the last time i took the exam. Got a 71% on the diagnostic exam for the intensive review. Oh i feel so nervous as the exam day approaches!

My scores were way lower than yours and mine stopped at 86 questions and got the good pop up! Don't doubt yourself when you're ready.
