It feels like I'll never be ready! @.@

Skittles, your scores are great! You are definitely more than ready if Kaplan is any indication of our success, which it is!

I completely agree, as my professors said, you'll never feel ready for this test...we just have to go for it

i take my exam this Thursday and my anxiety on is 10 lol

i'm currently using hurst, kaplan & a little bit of exam cram.

my scores for kaplan are

readiness test 1&2 (66, 65)

qbank i'm ranging from 56,60,70,78,64. kaplan is a bit of a challenge.

hurst i've taken 2 exams so far their score says 79? but idk if its good or bad lol.

i know with kaplan a low 60 is passing.

wish everyone the best of luck :)

I am taking next week too......Already in panic mode .

I finished all the Q bank with 51% right!!!!! The best thing to get from Kaplan is the rationales, more questions I did especially in Q bank, I didn't bother to take the others over because I tend to memorize answers but I did review the rationales to get an understanding.

Take your time during the test!!!! It is not impossible to pass!!!! Don't get caught up in all the didn't pass for the ?x!!!! It is only as hard as you make!!!!!

Dear Carolina mom... THANK YOU!!! FOR SHARING!!. this is soo scary coming up... I am super blessed to have a job lined up... WITH the one condition that I pass the NCLEX on the first time... No pressure :-( I feel much better...I am very happy for you!!! Congrats!!!

You'll be fine Rosa_G!!!!! Go in there and do your best!!!!! :)

Hi Carolina_mom,

I was wondering how are the nclex questions in comparison to the bank questions? I am taking my exam in less than two weeks. I am freaking out because I feel that I am doing poorly (percetange wise) in all of the practice questions that I have taken. So far I have used Hurst review, prep-u and I'm finishing off the remainder of the time with kaplan. please let me know.

In my opinion I think the NCLEX questions are similar to Kaplan questions especially trainer 6 and trainer 7. I got a 65.5 on trainer 6 and a 66.4 on trainer 7. I took NCLEX yesterday and my test shut off at 75 questions!!! I did the Pearson vue trick and got the "good" pop up. I think Kaplan is a great tool. Kaplan recommends you get at least a 60% or above on trainer 6 and 7 before taking your exam. However I know people who scores in the high 50s and still passed. The key is remediating over all your answers. Good luck everyone!

Here are my Kaplans Scores!:

Diagnostic 52

QT1 59

QT2 64

QT3 55

QT4 57

QT5 61

QT6 61

QT7 65

Readiness 58

Finished the sample tests, 76% of Qbank so far, gonna do a few more this afternoon to hit at least 80%. Then I'm taking the NCLEX tomorrow afternoon!!! A part of me wants to wait and finish the Qbank, but I cannot take another sleepless night! Like others have said, you'll never feel totally ready. Just gotta go for it!

I scored low in Kaplan. High 50s to mid 60s. I got a 59% on my QBANK. Kaplan is harder than NCLEX, you'll be fine! I passed in 95 questions last month.
