Testing next Monday... so I'm panicking Been using Uworld and Kaplan. Mostly I've been doing Uworld. For some reason, I feel that I've been doing better on Uworld than Kaplan Qbank. I have always done the questions in 75 question blocks. Also, I feel like I am doing better on Uworld than on Kaplan Qbanks... Uworld I have been getting mostly mid 50s/low 60s range. Kaplan Qbank I've ranged from about 48% to 63% on 5 Qbank sets of 75
I'm quite frustrated because my scores have plateaued.... Should I focus on content or strategy?
Should I be worried?
Diagnostic test 56%
Trainer 1: 60%
Trainer 2: 63%
Trainer 3: 48% (multiple distractions)
Trainer 4: 56%
Trainer 5: 59%
Trainer 6: 61%

good luck!! CAnewgrad2016 ill send a prayer for you!!
Passed w/ 75 questions. when the computer shut off, I was so nervous, thinking I might have failed. Good luck! To me, NCLEX is a lot like Uworld. Personally, I would do both Uworld and kaplan. to some ppl the test it is worded like uworld, to some it is worded like Kaplan. Good luck!
I did at least 75 questions a day, whether it was Uworld or Kaplan, but I did more Uworld. I made sure to read the rationales. At first I was taking notes on every single question, discovered I didn't have time, and just read the rationales, sometimes more than once. Don't second guess yourself is the best advice I'd give. Also, I brushed up on important topics in Saunders and med surg textbook, which I thought might be on the exam. I was definitely not a hard worker in nursing school, but studying for NCLEX is a whole different story. Good luck!
