NclexRN in 11 days, Kaplan test scores (what do u think)???

Published

Hello all!!! I am so nervous yet I feel like I am ready to tackle my nclex RN (with completion of studying, including remaining trainers and QBank). So far I have scored QT1 58%, QT2 66.7% didn't take Q3 ( but I plan too) QT4 60.7%, and QT5 58%. BTW I scored a 58.6% on my readiness exam although the time ran out and i didnt get to ans the last 15 questions (which were counted wrong) I am doing ATLEAST 100 questions a day averaging around 60%. I have about 10 days left to prepare........ What do u think?? All advice is welcomed and appreciated! Please help, im feeling pretty good but my scores aren't so promising!

Thanks for your response, it truly makes me feel better. And congratulations on passing your NCLEX. Initially I was concerned because although I did the Kaplan review I seem to use the decision tree less and less. Not because I am against using it but it seems it only applies to a very small amount of the questions. To be honest on QT7 I didn't use it at all. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you! I honestly was so sick of the decision tree and quit using it too!! I felt like it was making it worse... But honestly when your taking the nclex you will find yourself using it even know you don't think you are.

Let me know how it went after you take it!! Good luck...you will rock it!

Ugh I just completed QT7 and made a 57.4%. I have 5 days before the Nclex and I am driving myself crazy. I can't wait to have this behind me. If anyone else was as nervous as me please tell me what you did the day of the NCLEX to calm your nerves (scared my nerves are going to interfere with my concentration). Please help nursing friends!!!

Being nervous is completely normal...I felt like I was gonna vomit before, during an after the NCLEX. Just relax...try not

To study much the day before and just do something fun...(but not too fun)!!

As long as you review all your right and wrong answers on the Kaplan tests...you will be ok! You know more then you think you know! Relax. Breathe! And believe that you are gonna rock that test!! :) good luck!!

CONSISTENTLY scored between 58-64%...desired 70% before I took the exam...got 69%. Passed in the first time.

The Best thing that you did was use Kaplan to prepare...I used Kaplan NCSBN and exam CRAM as well. You are prepared to do this exam. Relax...you have up to six hours do to the exam. I also hid the time on the test, so I wouldn't feel rushed. You can do it!!!

Any last minute recommendations? I take the NCLEX in 31 hours!!!! I appreciate everyones support thus far. I still feel very nervous but I also feel like, even if I had another week or another month I would still be just as nervous. I'm having moments of "you can do this" to moments of "hmm I'm not so sure your averaging 60%". Either way I have 31 hours left to dot all my i's and cross all my t's. Thanks allnurses!!!

Hi. I'm new here. I'm also taking my NCLEx on February 13. And using Kaplan. But my Diagnostic exam is a disaster.. I just scored 47% and the problem is I can't reschedule my exam further coz this is the last day of my ATT. I've been rescheduling my Exam 3x already. Could anyone spare me some techniques on how to pass or retain information? I scored 56 on my QT1. I havent took my QT2 and 3 yet coz I'm not confident enough. Plsss help! Happy New Year!

75questions in 1.5 hours and just tried the PVT (40min later). It states "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time". Did i do it to soon? Am I getting excited prematurely? What now?.?
