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?)
When I take my test I will try to register again. If it lets me register I failed. If it doesn't let me register I've passed... I know students who've passed and failed and so far it's 100% accurate...
Thank you! My friends were saying they were horrific I'm like ***- they want us to fail... I have yet to meet a person who loves SATA lol.. I'm hearing so many bad things... Ugh, I just can't wait until tmrw!!
I think this thread is a great idea! Here are my scores so far:
Diagnostic: 68%
Q1: 53%
Q2: 64%
Q3: 58%
Q4: 63%
Q5: 61%
Q6 & Q7: Saving before I take NCLEX
Readiness: 75%
Q bank: 24% completed at 63%
I'm only on my second week of studying so that's why the Q bank is only at 24%. I'm doing the 5 week study plan because I have no testing date (which makes it really hard for me to study).
I have a question for everyone about how/what you do to study. Right now I answer the Q bank questions and read all the rationales. After that I look up what I didn't know from the test and then I stop studying. Are there other things I could be doing? I feel like I need some guidance on how to use my studying time wisely. My anxiety is through the roof right now because I feel like I'm not doing enough. HELP!!!
haha
