NCLEX and Kaplan are controlling my summer and I hate it!!!

Published

I'm really sorry but I just need to vent..

I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN on July 2nd. For the past three weeks I've been studying everyday, Mon-Fri from about 9am-4pm off and on. My Kaplan course finishes up on Tuesday, and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Below are my scores thus far:

Diagnostic test=63%

Qt1= 53%

QT2=59%

Qt3= 55%

QT4=63%

QT5=62%- just took today

Readiness Test= 73% -I thought this test was SO much easier than Qbank and question trainer

Avg so far on Qbank= 59%

I just feel that becaue I'm not doing well that studying for the NCLEX is all I can and should think about. I feel guilty whenever I'm not studying, even when I'm laying on the beach, all I can think about is my blue kaplan book!!!! I'm going crazy!!!!!!! And it's just a little upsetting to know that I still have a few more weeks to go before this all is over. I just don't understand how I could get such a high score on my readiness test and do so poorly with every other test!! I think the main reason I'm so frustrated is because this isn't like studying for a test in nursing school where you knew exactly what topics you were going to be asked. There is just so much to learn (and relearn) and I'm sooooooo stressed. :banghead::banghead::angryfire

Okay, thanks for listening to me! :redpinkhe Good luck to everyone preparing for the NCLEX!!

I feel the same exact way. I have spent the whole time I've been out of school studying for this dreadful test, even took my saunders book with me on vacay and sat on the beach studying. I took NCLEX today, and I'm going to spend all weekend worrying about it, and then I start work Monday, some break! I hope I can have a life again soon!!!!:angryfire

I totally understand what you mean. I graduated May 10th and have been studying almost everyday since. I am scheduled to take the NCLEX on Tues Jun 10th. I took the readiness test Thurs and scored a 68%.......Uggh! I cant seem to get over a 65% on any of the QTrainers or and made only one 70% on a Qbank test! Can any body help in this short time!

Just think of it like this. At least you will have next summer to relax and enjoy the beach! So just sacrifice this summer!:):)
