kaplan question trainer/ nclex mar 15th help

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I am doing the question trainer in kaplan and I am getting mid 60s %, (their reccomended passing range) however the analysis and application breakdown part, I am getting 100%. Has anyone done these question trainers, I am nervous, Am I prepared? I am doing 100 quetsions every day/ will I be ready, any tips

Thanks in advance

Scores in the '60s with Kaplan are great. Hell, I had a friend who scored in the '40s and she still passed.

You can't pay too much attention to Kaplan scores. They tell you if you score below 65 percent you've got to go back and do more review. But, when you look up the questions you got wrong ... it turns out a lot of the answers weren't even in the review.

To me, it's more important to understand the questions and keep practicing than placing too much emphasis on the scores themselves.

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. Yes I agree, it is more important to understand.

why are you do so poorly on the comprehension level yet scoring 100% on the two highest level?

I dont know really, my scores are anywhere from 55%-80% . All Ican do is keep practicing questions, hopefully it will help me pass, any tips are appreciated

my tip is dont focus on your score so much. i was getting at times 55 percent on ncsbn site yet i passed nclex.

Thats encouraging, I am also doing the ncbsn course, the questions are very difficult, I am scoring in the 50-60s. I review all the answers, my school said to remember that they write the boards, what do you think?

i dont know when i took my boards i was like how do these folks write the boards but i am struggling to answer these questions on my nclex. but i pass nonetheless. you have all best sources i see kaplan and ncsbn and were scoring pretty much how i was so i have no doubt you'll pass. i suggest making flash card of your lab values.

I could easily see that happening with Kaplan. IMO, it's one of the flaws in their material because it makes you think you missed something when you didn't.

As I previously mentioned, a lot of content in their questions is not mentioned in their review. Quite frankly, I didn't see that content in any other NCLEX guides or nursing school for that matter.

But, if you're following the test taking strategies and learning how to game the test well ... then you could do better at the higher levels.

Ultimately it doesn't matter how you're getting that content as long as you are getting it. Content I didn't see anywhere else but those questions ended up on on the NCLEX.

goodluck to us!!! May God bless us this 14th and 15th!!

don't worry about your kaplan scores. i focused on the q-bank because the question trainer is too long. i did about 200 questions (4 -50 questions using the q-bank). my scores ranged from 60-80%... what is important is going over your errors and understanding it. i passed my nclex using kaplan questions.
