I wanted to start a thread for those taking NCLEX soon, whether this summer or simply sometime this year. I'm actually taking mine within the upcoming week!
**activate panic mode now** haha
I want us to be able to share tips, what we found helpful, what didn't work, and of course once we pass!
I took the Kaplan course and also found it helpful when people shared their scores, so I could relate and feel just as confident in their success. (What else is this website for, but help and comfort during chaos!)
So, my scores have been as follows:
Q bank: 100% complete at 64%
Q Trainer 5: 66
Q Trainer 6: 60
Q Trainer 7: 63
Readiness test: 64
(I did all the q trainers, but the beginning ones multiply times after a month or so, thus scores aren't completely true?)
We were required to do Virtual ATI which is essentially just going through each module (pharm, mental health, fundamentals, med-surg, etc.) study each area and take assessments at the end. We have to get above 60% on each assessment. After each module is complete, we take the Final Comp Predictor and must get above 92% chance of passing in order to obtain the 'green light' to take the NCLEX. We took a different ATI Final Comp Predictor when we graduated and I scored at 90%. After completing all of the modules we took a different comp predictor (than the one we took upon graduation) and I scored lower (86%). It might just be me but I can't put all of my trust into ATI. Their test bank isn't big enough and I find it hard to believe that my score would actually GO DOWN after going through all of the modules and studying like crazy. I'm sure with a 99% pass rate you will pass with flying colors! We can and WILL pass this NCLEX beast!
When do you take your NCLEX test? I take mine next week. I am also doing ATI. I wish we could go in on the cost of Kaplan questions. It's so expensive!
So my with my Qbank 100% done I'm at 64% and Q7 which I took today was at 68.3% and I test the beginning of this week....those scores are not promising :-/ advice or anything?
Here is what I found. With a 68% that puts you on 99.3% probability of passing.
Ahh I hope that's right. I got the good popup today but I'm not believing the trick. I want to see the official results. Most painful 48 hours of my life. >.
haha

The goal is 65, why would your scores not be promising?
