NCLEX RN Qbanks scores vs. passing rates

[Jenoz310]

Hi everyone:

Since I'm new here before introduce myself I would like to thank you for having this site which allow to share concerns, feelings, joys and receive support by others that are experiencing the same as you.

I'm a foreign-graduated nurse now living in U.S. who want to continue here my career. I already did all the paperwork and my state board already gave me the green light for the test. I'm taking the NCLEX-RN next month. The only thing that I know about the NCLEX is what I read or heard because there is no NCLEX in my country (Cuba) and that is the main reason I'm here..looking for opinions, advice, suggestions. Now I am using Kaplan QBanks, so far I've done 15 test of 75 each. Only 4 of them are below 60% (56% is the lowest) 6 out of the remaining 11 are between 67-69%, and the last 5 between 60-61%. It give me an average of 62.4%.

I'm trying Lippincott Question of the Day (they send a free question everyday) which I answered already 150 questions with 110 correct (73.3). I also bought the NCLEX RN Mastery app which I finished with a 67% after 1800 questions.

How am I doing? Do you think I am ready to take the NCLEX and pass it in the first attempt or should I'll be worried?

Thanks in advance to all of you

It sounds like you are on the right path! I just passed the NCLEX last week. I did not you use Kaplan, but did the Hurst Review and used the NCLEX Mastery App/UWorld question bank. I felt quite prepared. I believe having a great foundation of core content and knowing how to answers NCLEX style questions is the key! You will do great! Good luck!
