NCELX Kaplan Scores

soontobeeRN · Jul 16, 2013

My scores are very similar to yours. I passed the NCLEX-RN yesterday with around 85 questions!!!!!

I thought that Kaplan was actually harder than NCLEX but it really comes down to if you can keep your anxiety down.

Be confident, get a good nights sleep and relax! I danced around my apartment to my favorite music before I left for the exam and it really helped me get my spirits up.

Good luck!! :) :) :)

Thanks for the encouragement!!!! A lot of my fears stems from the fact that some of the questions I guess on and do not recognize what the question is asking but still seem to pick the "right" answer. Did you find yourself doing this on QT 7?

I took the Kaplan course, but against my better judgment, I took it only a week before I was signed up to take the test. I didn't have enough time to complete all of the question trainers, but the ones that I did take I was only scoring in the upper 50s/lower 60s. My course instructor told us that we wanted to get at least a 60 on the readiness test. You scored a 62, so you're looking good there! And since you also scored above 60 on your last couple of question trainers, you seem to be fairly well prepared!! If you are taking the test tomorrow I wouldnt try to cram in anymore practice quizzes. Just take it easy today, get good sleep, and remember to take your time during the test to ensure you're carefully reading each question and applying all of the decision tree strategies.

Hope that gave you a little peace of mind!! Good luck!!

Yes! But that is GREAT sign. It shows that even when you are unsure, you can critically think and identify correct answers! I was so nervous about SATA but the ones I had were waaaay easier than the Kaplan SATA.

You know more than you think you do. Don't second guess yourself.

Your scores are really good...I'd love to have those....Sadly I do not even though I have studied for 3-4 hours everyday for the past 3 months....What do you think about these scores? I know they aren't about 60% but I've signed up for a test that is ten days away...Im scared if I postpone it that I may never take it:

QT1: 51

QT2: 45

QT3: 44 (Both this one and #2 were not good for some reason)

QT4: 52

QT5: 54

QT6: 56

QT7: Saving it for some time this week...

My QBank is 88% used with a score of 54%. I know these scores are not great but I'm worried about studying too much, as I have read on here that can do a lot of damage also. Any advice? Suggestions? Thanks!
