NCLEX in 12 days... Kaplan Scores need advice..scared confidence is low..

[nalaa83]

My exam is in 12 days, honestly I am tired of studying..but I know I have so much more to cover. I am using Kaplan and have made flashcards to study with lab values and certain diagnostic things I need to memorize. I am stressed. My Kaplan Scores are Diagnostic 61.1% Q1=68 Q2=65.8 Q3=55 (ouch!) Q4=62 Q5=63 Q6=63 Q7 will do this upcoming saturday..6 hours so not looking forward to it. Qbank I have done 81% of it with and overall average of 62%. I need some advice! I don't feel confident at all. Help! Thanks.

Yes! Autonomic dysreflexia is life threatening. I posted the question to give you an example of the priorities. You have to think what would be causing those things. Believe me, when I sat down to my test my heart was pounding out of my chest, someone behind me was typing 200 words per minute for whatever test he was there for and I felt like I would not be able to concentrate. I put in my ear plugs and things started to fall into place. When I left I wanted to throw up.You will do really well. You know this stuff!

Just by reading your statement I can physically feel how you felt. I am anxious to get it over with and nervous at the same time. I suffer from test anxiety so I will be taking my Inderal before I take the test. At times I do get distracted but I have to stay on task. Will try to practice more of the SATA as much as I can. Thank you again!

P.S.Everyone sucks on the SATAs. Just practice them.

That is exactly what I don't get, if everyone "sucks" at them why do they continuously provide them on the exam and yet they state its a minimum competency exam.
