Passed nclex! Lower kaplan scores

[BeautifulDisaster]

I was so stressed because my kaplan scores were below what they wanted but I passed! So don't stress! I read the ati comprehensive book, kaplan review book and the hurst book... I felt like nclex was so random so I just give credit to myself not one particular review book.. Thanks for everyone's tip! They were very helpful!

Congratulations to all you successful test takers. After reading some posts on here, I have started to question myself. I took Kaplan's course and have been running questions. After doubting myself, I thought I should go back and review material instead. With your recent success, would you recommend sticking with practicing questions over and over or focus on content review?

It seems the longer I study the more confidence I lose. Has anyone else experienced this? I am still waiting for my ATT number, so I can't just go take the test.

I feel EXACTLY the same way! I am too taking Kaplan, and my scores are in the high 50's to the high sixties. I kind of feel like studying content is pointless and the lectures are too long and detailed to retain all of the material. I heard from people that doing questions is the only way to really study.. Freaking out though. Ughh.

Congrats for passing!! And Thank you for your post beautiful disaster I was crying today because my kaplan scores are horrible, I got 60+% only one time in my Qbank! The rest were 48-58% I can't seem to get at least 60% ,my Qbank score right now is 51% total on 52% usage.I haven't answer my Qtrainers 1-7 I plan to take them 10days before my exam like what the instructor in class told us..I just finished my saunders book, now I'm trying to memorize my notes(coz I took down note) and trying to watch all kaplan videos. I am so worried that I cannot sleep at night , my anxiety is so high that sometimes I just don't know what to do...I feel horrible and stupid why I can't even get 60% with 50 items Q&A ... I graduated 2009 and it's been awhile and I want to pass and get my license as an RN ... I just hope I can pass too with my horrible scores

Absolutely, You are right beautiful. Even my kaplan and Hurst scores were also not pretty good,but i passed. Please friends, dont stress with the review scores. I was in lot of stress with my scores,when compared to others. Just keep faith and as Beautiful said,kaplan is harder than actual Nclex. I never thought,that i pass Nclex. I did it,so it's not big deal for you. Who ever are preparing for the exam,trust yourself an Dont forget to prayer. Please,please dont stress with the scores. Just keep studying and practising questions. I have done diploma in India. And i know my subject knowledge is not sufficient for this exam. So I practiced 15,000-20,000 questions totally. Can anyone believe? Yes,i did:yes:.

I am not saying to practice that many questions like me,but dont give up. practice,practice and practice............

Good luck to all who ever preparing for the exam.......:):)
