i felt that it was very important to inspire others to look to this board for inspiration and guidence while studying for the boards. I read threads each day looking for information from successful as well as unsuccessful students, but all the same god and you guys helped me to pass. if there is anybody out there who needs direction in studying for the boards please contact me, and i will be more than willing to help.
when you are studying from the kaplan disc and find that your scores are not what you might expect press on. i personally found the kaplan questions to be alot harder than the actual boards. these were my scores
test 1 54
test 2 67
test 3 55
test 4 58
test 5 61
test 6 61
test 7 63% so i later took the tests over, but when you are looking at your score, look at the blooms tax i can't remember the name however, look at your application and analysis score. those 2 sections are what the nclex looks at to determine pass or fail if your score is above 50% then you are where they want you to be in critical thinking.
I have ti say that kaplan does not explain each and every option very well, where as saunders does a great job, I've used kaplan and I have nothing good to say about them but that they are a big hype they do not help one bit. Where as saunders comprehensive review touches each area and explains each and every option to a tee, I can say that you won't go wrong with saunders but you will go wrong with kaplan.
