NCLEX 2 weeks from today and Kaplan scores are low

Published

Hey everyone:

After reading so many posts about higher Kaplan scores, I feel I may not pass NCLEX in 2 weeks (July 12th). My scores are:

Diagnostic: 64

QT1 - 60

QT2 - 57

QT3 - 48 (I was not taking this seriously enough)

Took Kaplan Classroom Review then:

Readiness - 58

QT4 - 64

QT5 - 56 (bummed about this but had so may interruptions in between)

QT6 and 7 - taking closer to NCLEX

Sample test 1 - 66

Qbank 92% completed - 60% average; I started a lot of these right after I graduated and wasn't using the Kaplan strategy like a I should have. My average after the course on each 50 question test ranged from 60-80%

What do you guys think? I am so worried because I have my dream job lined up and if I fail I lose the job offer plus I would not be allowed to retest for 3 months.

You're scores are very similar to mine. My readiness it a bit higher- but not by much. I think I got a 64. My q bank is 90% done and my average is a 66%. We were told by our instructor that over a 60% is the goal. My test is in 8 days- so we'll see I guess! Just keep trucking along! I think you're doing just fine! Good luck!

Just hoping Q6&7 are at least at the 60% mark.

I just checked what my scores are... I got a 64 on QT6 and a 63 on QT7. Because our scores are so similar I feel like you will score above the 60 mark. Those two exams are tough to get through because they are SO LONG! Just take some time, in a quiet place and do the best you can! GOod luck!

Wow that's great! Sounds like you will go great on NCLEX! Thanks for the encouragement. I am watching content videos on my weak areas. I take them next week so I will let you know. Can't wait to see your "I passed NCLEX" post! :)

You are doing well! My lowest QT was a 59 and my highest QT was 69. The others fell in between these two scores. My Diagnostic exam was 66 and my Readiness was 68.

I have seen people will lower scores pass. Continue to read the rationales and complete the Qbank and your last trainer.

I took Nclex today and the computer stopped at 75. I am awaiting my results but I am getting the good popup for the pvt.
