NCSBN program questions

Published

Hey everyone,

I've read a lot about NCLEX studying tips on this forum for the past 2-3 weeks, so I have picked up quite a few things.

I am doing Kaplan, NCSBN and I recently bought LaCharity.

With Kaplan, I can't seem to get past a 56% on 75 Qbank questions. I haven't done question trainers 4-7 yet, because I do not feel confident enough.

I bought the NCSBN 3-week course yesterday and have been doing the questions. I haven't really gotten anything less then a 68% on the pre-test so far. I've realized that the questions for NCSBN are easier then Kaplan. They are more straightforward and really seem to be focusing on the very important part of the subject.

Is the NCLEX similar to NCSBN or is it more like the Kaplan questions? I plan on using all my resources anyway...but the NCSBN questions are helping my anxieties get a little lower...but the Kaplan makes me feel like I should really set another test date - for reference my test is exactly 3 weeks from today.

Any thoughts and tips will be helpful, thank you all!

I take my test Monday super nervous, but I have had two friends from nursing school that took it and passed, they said Kaplan helped them that those questions are similar if not exactly like board questions. 1 friends test cut off around 78-82 and the other one suffered through 265 questions, but they both said Kaplan helped them.

Thanks for the reply, and good luck and best wishes on your test! The people that took it from my class also only did Kaplan and ended up passing as well, but I hadn't heard about NCSBN from anybody else except for these forums.

I finished the Qbank, but I guess I will go back and do the incorrect ones now and start taking notes and remediating.

For me I have taken the nclex-pn and failed. I loved the ncsbn 3 weeks . I tried the Kaplan but it was to much for me they want you to reword ..ect. The test for me was like the ncsbn I just wasn't going the ncsbn right but I do know that the test like just the nclex to me there were a few long questions but most questions were short and to the point. Kaplan to me questions were very long and I found myself not force on the question.

I was wondering if maybe someone else could chime in?
