Hi Everyone, I was just curious as to what, how everyone else was doing in their kaplan, saunders or whichever nclex practice scores and uh the result of your nclex exam. Most of the posts I found were ah a few years old. Also good luck everyone who has still to take the exam. Please share or comment on the following:

- Kaplan QT 1-7 scores

assess&safety,

i tried to private message you but your inbox was full. so i will reply to your question here:

i read a book called nclex-rn alternate-format questions by lipincott. fast read and the book is not very bulky so you can travel around with it! here is a link on amazon:amazon.com: lippincott's nclex-rn® alternate-format questions (9781609133078): lippincott: booksthis book included select all that apply (mostly satas actually), hot spots, chart exhibits, place steps in order, math questions.

i really can't think of too much they can ask for hotspot. here is what i have come across that they could possibly ask:

-parts of the brain (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, etc.)

-fhr locations on the mother's belly (

loa lop roa rop lsa rsa)

-locate where to palpate a pulse (radial, brachial, popliteal, femoral, pedal)

-cardiac locations (tricuspid, mitral, etc.)

-where to palpate for liver dullness

-locate certain components of a chest drainage system (drainage, water seal, suction)

i don't think the nclex is going to go crazy with hotspot questions because they are pure memorization. it's good to review them, but don't go nuts.

the fhr and cardiac ones were giving me the most trouble. however, i read a post on this site that linked to a helpful picture:

Hello everyone, I am new here, I graduated January 27, 2012, took the kaplan readiness test may 24th and scores was 73% , I am scheduled to take the Nclex in exactly 3 weeks, I am half way thru re-reading the kaplan book, and plan on going over all 1000 QBANK questions and rationals again before test date. Can anyone recommend a book that has a lot of SATA practice questions?

@ NurseSue33413 - You'll have to get a few review books and just go through and focus on your own the select all that applies. All review books (saunders, kaplan, mosby etc have a mix and its to your benefit to make sure that you are confident in all types of test taking not just select all that apply as for all you know they may give you only 1 or 2 of those. search all nurses for Select all that apply they've soem good tips. Basically you're suppose to rewrite the question choices into separate questions and see if it is still applicable. Good luck!

Good job! That's awesome!

From what I've been told the PVT is pretty accurate! Go celebrate!

I'm still waiting on my ATT and my plane is pretty similar to yours. I'm also using Hurst for content and only doing the Kaplan questions. So far I've only done the diagnostic exam and QT 1-4. My scores are ranging from 60-70%.

I'm hoping to get my ATT ASAP because I was offered a position but they want me to pass boards first. I'm just terrified that they'll get tired of waiting and decide to give the position to someone else. Aghh I just want to scream!
