nclex and kaplan; harder since april, did anyone pass?

Published

Specializes in anything that I had my clinicals in.
:uhoh3: So I have been reading old forums for Kaplan. Everyone said that they were in the high 50's low 60's and many passed the NCLEX. However that was about a year ago and my nursing school said that the NCLEX got harder starting April 07. So I guess my question is, has anyone passed the NCLEX-RN and only got in the 50's and 60's on both Qbank and question trainer. My average is 61% for Q-Bank (11 test at 25-50 questions a piece) and then about 57%-60% for my question trainer (on test 1-5). I am set to take the NCLEX for the SECOND TIME on October 4th. Please help, need some words of encouragement or even someone to tell me that I may need to study just a little more. Thanks
