Congrats to all of you that have passed!!!! Yay :)
I take mine July 1. Here are my Kaplan results thus far...
Diagnostic 51%
QT 1 51%
QT 2 60%
QT 3 46% (not sure what happened)
QT 4 50%
QT 5 60.67%
I have completed 35% Qbank and have a 58%.
I plan to complete more qbank (hopefully all of qbank within the week) and complete QT 6 and 7. I am really nervous...Stressing out about if I'm close to being ready or not. Thoughts???
Thanks in advance and good luck to you others that are taking it soon :)

I take NCLEX july 1st too! I didn't do great on the first 5 QT's...between 52-55% but got a 71.5% on QT6 and 61.5% on QT7 both of which are all application and analysis questions so I'm taking that as a good sign even though the first 5 weren't awesome. my QB was a 57% total as well. while Kaplan says to aim for 60%+ I don't think that's a predictor of if you're ready or not or if you'll pass...I agree that remediating is what's going to help the most...good luck and I hope july 1st is a lucky day for the both of us!
I am sorry that I didn't respond quicker....I PASSED!! I hope that you did too, CTnewgrad826. I am in the process of applying for jobs and am not having much luck. I thought maybe after I passed NCLEX, the calls for interviews would be coming in. Man was I wrong I have my first and only interview tomorrow. Have you landed a job CTnewgrad826?
I passed too niklaff84! I passed July 1 and have my 3rd interview coming up but no offers yet. It's a long process as a new grad don't get discouraged! May I ask what state you're applying in?

How many questions did u guys get ? Congrats on passing and good luck on landing a job
I had 87 questions....Weird number huh? I thought for sure when that computer shut off I failed miserably. However, all of my classmates have had different numbers...another classmate of mine had 87. A number of them had it shut off at 75. Only a few had the full 265. Good luck to you!!! When do you take it?
I am in Superior, WI/Duluth, MN. My interview tomorrow is at a nursing home. I am so nervous. How have your interviews been?

Hi nikalff84
I am taking my board this coming Saturday, I just took the nclex sample question my average are between 55%-60% my Q trainer 6 & 7 were 55% and my Q questions I completed 100% total of 55%. I am little nervous.. Did the kaplan prepare you well answering nclex questions because I heard Kaplan is harder than the board if that's true?
Thanks & good luck in your nursing career!
You will do great hmahdoui! Keep a positive attitude! I honestly felt NCLEX was like QT 7....I walked out of there questioning what the heck the questions were even asking. But I used Kaplan strategy and I passed!!! While taking the test, I was shifting my weight in my chair because I was so unsure...I was very nervous. You walk out of there not having a clue. Have you heard of the "re-registering trick" you can do when you walk out of there to see if you passed? Everyone in my class did it and the only people that did not get the "good" pop up were the ones that did not pass Deep breath and positive thoughts! You will do great!!!
I am staying positive but I am just tired of studying and preparing for the board.. I had to take time off only this week to stay focused. I heard the QT6 &QT7 are very similar to the board which I wrote all the wrong rationale and I reviewed them.. I will try to keep using the Kaplan strategy too because it does help most of the priority, airway, or assessment questions. I am going to let my friend do the trick I will be super nervous to do it myself!!! I am happy for you. I just want pass even if I get 265 questions!!! I have two jobs lined up as RN and Pharmaceutical company...... and I need to email my manager on Monday that's so frustrating.

My grades were similar to yours. I passed last month in 199 questions after I ran out of time! I had become lazy & frustrated at that point. But if I passed, so will you! Good luck
