well the time is coming closer. although I studied quite a bit for the first test, I have studied my BUTT off the second time around. reviewed Kaplan and completely reviewed HURST for content. I took HURST back in Jan to prep for HESI and never looked at it again really.

Honestly I have watched several of the Kaplan videos but dang, watching them is like watching paint dry while getting a tooth pulled. its so slow and monotonous.

so far here are my practice test scores

Kaplan

QT 1= 66%

QT 2= 72%

QT 3= 52%

QT 6= 62%

QT 7= 55%

Hurst

test 1 =76%

test 2 =81.2%

test 3 =81.4%

test 4= 78%

I took these hurst test back in Jan so I couldn't actually retake them but I reviewed my results and put sticky notes on the screen to cover up what I chose previously and cover up the answers and marked new score on a piece of paper. I don't remember any of the questions and honestly read the questions and answered them as if it was the first time taking the test.

for both Kaplan and HURST I am reading the rationales for both correct and incorrect questions because sometimes I do guess correctly and want to know the true rationale.

YUP I am honestly tired of studying and I am scared to death. giving this go a round a lot more respect than I did the first time. I take the test Tuesday morning at 0800 and I plan on closing the books sunday afternoon about 300.

ANY THOUGHTS, SUGGESTIONS, COMMENTS, TIPS, ENCOURAGEMENT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
