I'm testing next Saturday. I've gone through the whole saunders book, prioritization, delegation and assignment book. (Scores were in the 60s for most part in the PDA book) and I took all my kaplan q trainers. My scores for Kaplan were mostly 60s.I took notes on all the rationales from Kaplan, been reviewing drugs and lab values. Are my scores good enough?

You should be fine. I took kaplan and used several nclex books. I got 50's with kaplan and thought I was stupid, but I kept retaking the tests and my scores went up. Kaplan was my best resource. The questions were very hard compared to other nclex questions I saw. Kaplan actually taught me how to think critically. A lot of my nclex questions were very similar to kaplan questions and kaplan lectures. I took the test yesterday. Got 75 questions and the good pop up. I'm just waiting for the official word. Good luck!

Don't base passing on your scores. Make sure you're understanding the rationales and why you're getting your questions wrong. I know someone who made good scores but failed NCLEX. I passed NCLEX I just took it Thursday I used Kaplan and at times I made a 54 on one of the trainers. Question Trainer 7 I believe I made a 61 or 64. If you understand the concepts you should be fine!! Have a positive attitude going in and believe in yourself you've made it this far! God Bless!

you will be fine, I used all those study aids as well, took the exam saturday morning.... check pearson and got the good pop up after 75 q....Saunders is great for content, so if you reviewed it all you will do okay. Try to do questions from now on if finished with kaplan.....you may want to try nclex 3500 questions now since it is very similar to the real thing in my opinion.
