I have been using Kaplan Q Bank & Question trainers, Saunders Comprehensive Review 4th edition CD, and NCLEX 3500. I'm doing average on Kaplan - typically high 60s and my Q bank is at 63% average (there was a rogue 40 something in there!) but I'm not positive how you should be doing on Saunders or NCLEX 3500 questions. Do any of you know what the "passing" score is for thier questions? I've gotten anywhere from 57-77%. Any help would be appreciated!!
I'm taking NCLEX next Wednesday and I'm pretty nervous. I'm also having a hard time focusing to finish up the last 300 odd pages of the Saunders book.
Thanks for listening and for any info you can provide!

When I took my refresher course and our teacher was teaching out of Saunders and Nclex 3500. She told us on the Saunders we had to get at least a 75% and on 3500 the same, but she said if you could get in the 80's you had a better shot.
When I was studying I would get between 67-75 on Saunders and about a 75-89 on NCLEX 3500. I passed with 78 questions. But it just depends on how you have been studying I think the more questions you do the better, hopes this helps.

dnt get bothered by the scores you got it has no bearing in passing the nclex-rn exam. just continue your studies and just be prepare for anything under the sun question during the exam. goodluck!
Thanks everyone. I will just keep studying as I am. However, the scores do help in my studying and give me confidence if I do better. I just got an 80 on the pretest on NCLEX 3500 so I guess I'm not doing too poorly but I will keep at it lol I can't wait until this is OVER!
