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?)
Congrats to all of you that have passed!!!! Yay :)
I take mine July 1. Here are my Kaplan results thus far...
Diagnostic 51%
QT 1 51%
QT 2 60%
QT 3 46% (not sure what happened)
QT 4 50%
QT 5 60.67%
I have completed 35% Qbank and have a 58%.
I plan to complete more qbank (hopefully all of qbank within the week) and complete QT 6 and 7. I am really nervous...Stressing out about if I'm close to being ready or not. Thoughts???
Thanks for thoughts/advice....good luck to those taking nclex soon :)
Hey guys I'm wondering if the nclex sample tests are part of the package ? I'm doing live review.... But I didn't see the 4 sample nclex tests ? Thanks
Thanks :) okay is ur me or am I being to hard on myself /obsessing over my 2 scores thus far only took q trainer 1=60 and q trainer 2= 50 I have more to do in which I know I will grow and get better but i think I may be being to hard on myself to early on .... Did any of u guys do that thru out kaplan ? Or is it just me !? Lol
Do not give much focus on your scores. although they are important in trying to gauge your readiness for this test, I think the most important point to give emphasis on is reading the rationales and understanding what the question is asking you. Do not over analyze, READ AND UNDERSTAND why you got a question right or wrong.You will learn from that. And always believe in yourself and to God. All the best!
I am driving myself insane over this test...I take the test next Thursday, July 3rd. I am been studying all day and night, basically as much as i can. MY scores for Kaplan have come up since i started doing Kaplan. I am not too worried about my beginning scores, the diagnostic or the readiness test because i took them over a month ago while at school because we had the kaplan course. I wish i could take them again now to see where i stand. Anyways, today i am finishing up the qbank questions, and each day until my exam im going to do one of the sample test in qbank as well as review content....here are my scores. I know people always say that they dont feel confident in their scores about taking the test, which is expected, but to be honest i dont even know what to feel right now haha my nerves are out of this world.....any advice?
Diagnostic 55.6
QT 1 - 62.7 (took 1,2, and 3 all in the same day hungover lol)
QT 2 - 62.7
QT 3 - 52
QT 4 - 55.3
QT 5 - 60
QT 6 - 60
QT 7 - 61.5
Readiness Test (which was taken over a month ago) 55
Average for Qbank - 61 (with about 95 % done)
I feel that my scores have been increasing since i started Kaplan. Although i wish i could take the readiness over again because that was such a long time ago.....Any advice, words of wisdom or a little confidence boost would be amazing.....panic level is through the ROOF!
Took it 8am this morning, was done by 9:50. 110 questions and I got that beautiful blue screen and have never felt such a relief to see a screen. I started to panic when I went past 75 questions and had to take some deep breaths. Did the PVT and got the good pop-up.
