NCBSN, so far dissappointed

Published

Any one else using it? Does not go in depth to much, seems like they just list a bunch of information in a outline.But not the "why it's important" Diagnostic test was ok, havnet done the qbank trainers yet.

Post test for each area of review is 20 questiosn w/ rationales not bad.

NCSBN is most like the NCLEX. It's straight to they point. It is a great tool. Just take your time and do all the questions ans read the rationales, they really do help. I used it and my NCLEX looked just like NCSBN

The questions are good and the ones i get wrong i do the rationales, on diagnostic test i only scored 60% though and they say 75% is passing. According to NCLEX [i think i read this somewhere] you need 31/30 right to pass? 15 being "new" questions that don't count.

doing about 75/day through nclex 4000

Stick with the one resource you have, finish it all the way through then consider something different once you have mastered the content. NCSBN is good stuff and the information is fairly easy to understand.

I love NCSBN. I learn alot and it gives me great hope in passing the boards.I am almost done with the Qbank. Only got a few passing scores.. but I don't pay attention to the scores I just read the rationales and practice. Best of wishes. You got this!

I used the "my notes" or "notes" feature they have to copy and paste the rationale or the questions I've missed, and I copied everything to my Microsoft word, and now I'm reviewing everything so I won't have to go back to the Qbanks.

I took and finished all qbanks (diagnostic, 20q's after each lessons), and I find it very helpful. Though I must agree that there are some bad rationales. But you can turn that into something good, search it so you would know better. :) And when I took the exam today, I felt like I was just doing NCSBN q's - tricky but very straightforward. Good luck on your studies. ;)

I dislike ncsbn their questions are beyond comprehension and stupid at times just plain irrational and the rationales confusing but with the same token some questions are a gem as they teach you something you could had easily overlooked either way used it to your advantage their pharmacology is excellent and the price is reasonable .
