Nclex rn soon...using ncsbn

[Jtinwv]

Hi all! I've been using ncsbn 3 wk online review. I used saunders, nclex 4000 and exam cram prior. This is my 4th attempt at this test. I'm totally freaking out by not getting the 75%on ncsbn questions?!?does this mean I'm not ready to retake! Anyone else out there pass nclex with below 75%on ncsbn?? Plz help alleviate my stress!:/ My 3wk for the ncsbn is up this Wednesday!

My average scores were anywhere from 45 to 70%. make sure you understand the reasons for the incorrect questions. look for more content if needed, and make sure you read the question carefully and understand what they are asking you..

I didn't the take the NCSBN but I did take Kaplan. My scores on the qbanks ranged from 49-64. I couldn't get beyond a 64 no matter how hard I tried . However, I still passed Nclex. As far as getting through the actual Nclex questions, it's matter of reading the questions and answers carefully and taking your time. Be aware of the clock but try not to rush through the exam.

Does the NCSBN really expires? I am planning to take the 8 weeks program.

Yeah..I bought the 3 wk..it expires April 16 @11:59pm to be exact. I did a few more tests today=240 ques. I odd get a 70% and an 80%!! I was so excited! :) my nclex isn't til 24th tho...I hope I can keep all that info in my head for another wk! I just started yesterday writing a few things down that I can review next wk....but I'm still freakin out lol!.......

I'm using nscbn and I'm on practice bank #29 my scores range anywhere from 55%-95% and the ones I get wrong are from second guessing myself! I test on Thursday.

I know what u mean nwatson83... I'd do so much better if I didn't second guess! I'm on ques banks 31-40....

[nwatson83]

When do you test?

[Jtinwv]

I am scheduled for 4/24. At 9:45am...lots of "4"s ..I hope it brings good luck!:)

I second guess also. I always think that question to easy and that answer is to obvious. They trying to trick me. Guys, how can we stop doing that and thinking that way?

Thank you J for responding.

You're welcome Hadassah16. I wish I knew how to stop second guessing too! It drives me crazy at times!
