Hi I used NCSBN and Kaplan, Your score in Kaplan is good, just make sure u review the rational , u will learn a lot. My scores with NCSBN were 65-73, be confident , I didn't feel like I knew enough before i tested, Don't delay it, and review areas u think u r not getting the questions correctly. Best of luck
thanks jiokes for reply

The percentages doesn't matter, as long as you understand its rationales.
If you have to retake it so many times just for you to understand why it's right and wrong, then do it.
Plus, I encourage you to finish all of their practice quizzes after all of the content.
Took NCLEX-RN yesterday and got a good pop up, later i'll found out if I passed.
So good luck to you, I'm sure you can do it!

Hurstreview was my favorite... I felt the most prepared when I did this course vs kaplan... But like the previous person said it matters that u understand the rationales ..
look like not many students had or have NCSBN review. so i will just concentrate on kaplan . and read the rationales i am good in kaplan above 70% in q trainers but q bank 61% . i am not fully confident because forgot lab values lot of times then try to remember again and again. only i can pray now. because NCSBN breaking my hope.because we should know every answer. it does not matter which book it come from . i have saunders, nclex 3500, nclex 4000, exam cram . in all those my score just stuck in 60 -70%.thanks a lot for your advice

I took NCSBN, and I think it helped me alot, I also had Kaplan Q-bank, and scored 65-70% on Kaplan and 45- 65% on NCSBN, I can honestly say that NCSBN mirrors NCLEX in my opinion.
