I'm having the same problem. This will be my second time taking the NCLEX, I failed the first time with 265 questions, near passing in all categories. I took Kaplan to prepare for it this time and I'm doing horrible on the Q-trainers, all in the 50s-60s. Currently I'm scheduled for the 24 but I'm considering rescheduling it for a later date because I feel like there's no way I can pass right now and I can't afford to take it a 3rd time!
Good luck, let me know how it goes!
[COLOR=#003366]seconddegreebsn your Diagnostic score is great! QT are good too as long their above 60% i failed first time my scores were 40 and 50% it was very bad.. and what i did listened to Hurst content videos helped and finished the kaplan book strategy now I am listening to online questions videos before I start answering questions I am doing much better than before.. the questions are hard but try to learn when you use the Decision Tree and always right the wrong questions I made a notebook for it and I go over why is wrong.. Practice Practice and Practice... your not going to know everything! but learn the strategy and review your weakness!
Good luck!!!
You will be fine. I took the Kaplan in class course a few weeks ago. I averaged a 53 on all the Q-trainers and a 52 on the readiness test. I took the exam sep.10 and I passed. The Kaplan qtrainers and qbank's are great because of the difficulty level, and were pretty similar to the nclex questions. Let us know how you do!
thank you dandan. Today I went over my QTs. between the time i failed my first exam and today, I studied ncbsn and hurst pretty intensively. I started off with 3 weeks of reviewing Hurst (4 hours a day everyday). After Hurst, I went over NCSBN and getting scores (65-85%). After I finished all the QB in NCSBN, I did Kaplan and scored between 57-65'ish (I don't remember my Q1-Q5 scores). Lowest is QT7 @57% I think.

Ok my test is in less than a week. I'm considering of moving it 2 weeks from now, just took kaplan Q6 and Q7 and did 59% and 57%. Some of the questions on Kaplan are just worded vaguely. UGH!
It's going to be my 2nd time! Please help!
