MY Q-Review & Kaplan Scores/2014

Published

Hi guys,

I'm taking my nclex in two days and here are my q review(hurst) and kaplan scores. Do you think I am ready?

Anyone taken NCLEX? Is the NCLEX more similar to Q-Review(hurst) or Q-bank(kaplan) questions?

Q Review

82/125

84/125

86/125

80/125

85/125

Kaplan QBank, QT, & Readiness

QBank--ranges from 60s-80s

QT: all mid 50s, with QT 7 being at 60%

Readiness Exam: 66%

How ready do you think I am?!!!

anyone pass with less scores?

also, just want to say that I thought the Kaplan Question Trainers were HARDER than the q-bank

and I was making in the 40s-50s with the Kaplan QBank UNTIL I started doing Hurst Review. After I learned my content well, I started making in the 60s-80s in my Kaplan Qbank

any insight would help me tremendously! I need the confidence and feel like I might fail, even with these scores.

Hi! I also prepared with KAPLAN's question trainers & only about 70% from the Q bank with similar scores as you. I took my exam just last Jul 19 at 2pm, it shut off at 75 questions. I got consecutive SATAs here & there (about 18 of them), 7 drag & drops, & 2 exhibits. I really took my time in answering & DBE really helped. I used the ear plugs to shut off the noise around me & it helped me concentrate. It took me almost 2 hrs. Just make sure to think every question through before choosing your answer/s, & when you do DON'T CHANGE IT unless you're really sure it was wrong.

I'm still waiting for my quick results tonight but I got the "On Hold" pop-up so I'm not really sure yet what to expect. I hope my experience helps! Just relax before your exam & pray! You can do it! Have confidence in yourself!:up:

Hi - I saw your post what is DBE? I'm taking NCLEX in a few weeks and using Kaplan, HURST, NCSBN and LaCharity. Tysm

Deep breathing exercises. :D It really helped me calm down before I took the test. I used Kaplan, & LaCharity as well. Just keep practicing on those question trainers & aim for at least 60%. I'm sure you guys can do it! Keep us posted.

thanks Tanz! I am really dreading those SATAs. Going to practice some SATAs with the Saunder's CD (haven't really used Saunders questions b/c I heard they were too easy compared to NCLEX)

I hope you passed!

I've been getting 70s and 80s on most of the Kaplan q bank AFTER doing Hurst review. I hope that's good enough. What did you get on your Kaplan Readiness? And what is a "hold up" pop up?

ahhh you mean the "hold on" pop up/you cant re-register...that pretty much means you passed!! Did you think Kaplan was easier/harder than Qbank? I've heard NCLEX SATA are NOT that bad.

My readiness test was around 70%, & I just kept on practicing with more questions. I took down notes of the things I didn't get right for reviewing. Well the questions had similar topics & I focused on making sense out my answer & what was asked. I got a really bad headache after my exam, the SATAs were mostly nursing interventions & considerations related to lab values & patient's condition or situation & case. I suggest you brush up on procedures as well since they came out on my drag & drop questions.

I do believe I passed (oh yeah let's stay positive) & if I do fail I'll just take again (God forbid). The good pop-up is different though coz it says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact a member of the board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time." mine was "The candidate currently has test results that are on hold" :(

​Happy preparing & good luck!

Thanks for the tips!! I will definetly do that. I have my exam Wednesday at 2 pm, so I have some time for some late cramming

I hope you passed! Perhaps its on hold because they are reviewing your exam? That's weird!
