So I take my NCEX on the 8th,I didn't receive my ATT until about 3 weeks ago. I have completed the in class ATI with my school and have been using KAPLAN in class the online resources since early June. I purchased an exam book as well from another company that was just 3 large 265 question tests, I completed two of them a few weeks ago, scoring in the low-high 50's.
My problem is that I am already working on my unit and I had a whole week for orientation and have been working 3 shifts 7-7pm's a week since mid-July. I am exhausted most of the time and was unable to complete the trainers when I wanted to because of work and being so exhausted the next day since I have to travel 4 hours collectively to-from my new job. I do not want to move until I pass the boards and secure my position. I can't move the test date later since my new job has a time limit of how long I can keep my position without passing the NCLEX and also its almost impossible to find a good date with my accommodations.
I am very nervous but I get extra time and separate room for the exam because of my learning disability so I am not worried about running out of time or the testing space in general.
The Readiness test I have yet to take. I plan on taking it it Tuesday, I work Monday. today I want to complete T6 and try to finish T7. I also have 950 questions left in my QBANK to practice with before the exam.
Here are my scores:
Diagnostic - 57%
Trainer 1 - 51%
Trainer 2 - 51%
Trainer 3 - 51% ( I know they are all the same, I can't explain why)
Session 7 Practice Test - 45%
Trainer 4 - 52%
Trainer 5 - 58%
Trainer 6 - 56%
Trainer 7 (have not taken yet today)
Readiness Test - (To be taken Tuesday 7/2)
Sample Test 1: 52%
Sample Test 2: 52%
I plan on taking the Alt format and Priority Test after the readiness exam.
Breakdown of my important scores:
On my trainer 5 topic performance summary - I scored 45-75% on my topic areas, highest being psychosocial integrity - 75%, lowest being physiological adaptation - 45%.
BUT on trainer 4 (same percentage range as T5), my management of care was my highest 75%, lowest still physiological adaptation - 36%.
The QBANK performance summary I get between 37%-50% on all topic areas except safety/infection control I have a 75%. MY lowest area in Qbank is management of care - 34%.
I've noticed my scores keep being in the low-mid 50's on my Qbank, but I have received a handful of 60's- one or two 70's. I have been trying to take QBANKS on the physiological integrity section since I did the worse on that section in T1-3.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: I know that the nest thing for me to do now is just drill question after question.
IF you have any advice to give me please tell me!
*******What do you think of my scores? Am I doing okay?********
I heard such mixed things about the kaplan results and passing and boards.
Do you think I am going to be okay or do you have some concerns!
I am desperate, anxious, and feel unprepared! I'm awaiting your comments!!
