Hello!:)
I am very new to this site (as a member) but ever since my last year in school, I've been using this forum as a support tool the reason i wanted to post is because my turn has come ..I'm officially 24 hours away from the nclex ?
Graduted in May '13?I have been using Kaplan for about 5 weeks now consistently , my school used ATI and many of my classmates went with their review in fact i believe i am the only one who chose kaplan.. I hope it was a wise choise took the live class back in May as well as some apps and hurst book.
My scores for Kaplan are:
QT1: 66
QT2: 56
QT3: 56
QT4: 56
QT5: 55
QT6: 64
QT7: 65
Qbank 100% finished with 58% average
My quizzes range between low 50- to mid 60 SATA test was really tough ! Scored 22% but 80% on priority.
Overall Kaplan is good for training tool for stamina and questions I utilized most of their content too along with some hurts and online study guides on this site. Overall 75% questions and 25% content review id say total in my journey
Anyway I know my scores aren't the best I stayed pretty consistent and got above the "magic 60" on 6 and 7 and everyone is telling me ill be fine..however have been absolutely having insane panic and crying spells the past 5 days that I have not been able to really learn anymore and saw my scores on qbank start to decline because of it. I can barely eat much and restless getting to sleep at night. I don't know if it is my lack of knowledge or confidence to answer enough questions or just be so nervous I can't think! I want this done
Anyway So today I decided I need to relax and rest. Did a dry run to the center and got my ATT and id ready. I'm scared crazy but, it is what it is and I am going to do my best to get sleep! Lol
SO! Any last suggestions? I hope I prepared well enough what do you all think??? I have heard nclex questions are easier than Kaplan? Is it a bad sign I only did minimal content and 20% on SAT
about 98% of the students in my class have passed back in June I only know of one girl who failed ? parents and boyfriend are telling me to relax but this exam means so much to me I just can't even imagine failing plus I have a job starting in oct!
Thanks for all the help.. just think we made it this far can't turn back now Wish me luck !

Don't worry so much about the scores. Your scores look fine to me... As long as you reviewed and understand why you got questions wrong and right, kaplan has done its job. You will do fine! Get a good night's rest, try to keep anxiety to a minimum and just relax and let your brain work. Do not change your answers unless you are 100% sure that the answer you are switching to is correct
Well its over... all i can say is most stressful and uncertain experience ever! I got so many alternative format questions I wanted to puke.
it took about 2 1/2 - 3 hours for me and I was BEGGING for more questions but the test shut off at 75.... I wanted to crawl into a hole and die at that point and had to hold back my tears from the TA and people in lobby til i got to my car, I got home after I got myself together to do the PVT. closed my eyes hoped for the best and got the good pop up!!!!!!! I still can't believe it I was so numb of anything after that! Hopefully it is a good sign! Than you everyone for the support! Much appreciated phew!
Congratulations!!!
