Hello AN. I will be testing for the first time on 7/15 through the VA BON. I would just like the input of fellow posters on my Kaplan, etc. scores for my preparation.
My ADN program used Kaplan through the course of our 2 years, we took a 2 hour Kaplan class every Wednesday during the final semester, completed approx. 500 Kaplan QBank questions with remediation as part of the course, we had to take a mandatory 4-day Kaplan review, and also pass one of Kaplan's predictor tests with a 60+% in order to have our transcripts released to the BON of our choice.
Following are my scores for Kaplan and other resources used post-graduation.
Kaplan Predictors:
Kaplan Nursing Assessment (73.9%)
Kaplan Diagnostic #2 (62.2%)
Kaplan Secure Predictor (62%)
Kaplan Diagnostic (64.4%)
Kaplan RN Readiness 2 (67.2%)
Kaplan Sample Tests:
ST1- 60%
ST2-50%
ST3 (Priorities)- 96.7%
ST4- (Alternate Format)- N/A
Kaplan Question Trainers:
QT1- 61.3%
QT2- 68%
QT3- 59%
QT4- 78%
QT5- 66%
QT 6/7- N/A
Kaplan QBank (253 Remain): 66% Overall
NCLEX RN Mastery iPhone App (448 Remain): 63% Overall
I plan to go back and review mainly the missed rationales for both programs, take ST4, and QT 6/7 this week. I also personally want to review insulins, medication pre/suffixes, and endocrine. 10 more days.
Thanks!

Hi there, I passed the NCLEX last month in 77 questions. Also did Kaplan qbank and hurst. My kaplan qbank had 1000+ questions and I think my cumulative score was right around 60% (mind you I did not repeat any of my kaplan questions....I wanted a true estimate of my scores based on new questions only). I think you'll be fine. good luck!

Hi, I am using Kaplan right now. I noticed that you wrote "Diagnostic" and then "Diagnostic #2", are there 2 different ones? Thanks!
