NCLEX practice test scores

Published

So i am about to take the NCLEX exam on Wednesday and i have been getting 58%-68% on my practice tests, my average being 64%....is this a bad thing??? Majority of the tests have been Kaplan with the new 2010 test plan book, others have been with the Davis 2010 practice book. I am just getting anxious that i am not doing well enough or prepared enough...any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Specializes in L&D/Maternity nursing.

I used Saunders, NCLEX 4000 and ATI

I scored between high 60s-mid 80s with an average of 75% on each. My last few practice exams I took 2 days before the NCLEX I was scoring in the 80s. I felt ready then.

Stop worrying about practice tests. You have prepared. Practice your relaxation techniques and go test. Good luck.

WOOOOOOH! I am right there with you. Same test scores in the same books! The Davis questions are TOUGH, TOUGH and TOUGH! I test Wednesday also. Woke up this morning with a cold and am ready to bang my head against the wall trying to make the decision on if I should reschedule. My vacation/work schedule does not really permit much more flexibility after Wednesday so I am freaking out!

Most people I talk with are encouraging and telling me to go forward with it. I know everyone will say "it's up to you if you are ready or not." But, honestly, I'm never ready for any test!
