My Kaplan scores were DT=58, RT=74, QT1=85, QT2= 78, QT3=67, QT4=59, QT5=67, QT6=69, QT7=63 and averaged 69 on qbanks but my scores ranged between 58-88. I also used ATI, Saunders Comprehensive Q&A, La Charity, nclex 3500,lippincott but Kaplan for serious review. I actually did my Q7 and reviewed it the day before the exam and I am glad I did because it was similar to NCLEX. Please focus on Prioritizing and ''who do you see first" and infection control! very important! If anything, I walked out there feeling if I passed, this exam was really fair however, required understanding as many disease concepts as possible. I studied intensely about a month and a half reviewing mostly core content and few questions. About a month to the exam I had started Kaplan and did few review and mostly questions. In all I just thank God for not letting my toil go in vain.

I am elated!!! I checked about 1.5 hours after I got home and got the good pop up! I was sooooo nervous when I sat down and my heart was palpitating throughout the whole test! It cut off at 75 but I feel like my test was a complete blur. I had 11 SATA
, 7 meds, 2 math, 7 priority, and about 3 infection control and the rest was just content. No drag and drop, audio, and no hot spots. I have to say that I feel that the test was just like Kaplan. I felt like I was taking one of their practice tests. All in all I think Kaplan was a great method of preparation. My Qbank score average was 62 and my readiness score was 64. I got a 64 on Qtrainer 6 and a 68 on Qtrainer 7. I was originally going to test in mid July BEFORE deciding to take Kaplan so I was also using Hurst Review, Exam Cram, and bought LaCharity but never got around to using it. In my humble opinion, I think that a combination of STRONG content and Kaplan questions/strategies will help you pass. Anywho, blessings to all those still waiting to test.
