practice questions and consistency

Published

i just finished question trainer 4 from kaplan. i scored 65%. i am noticing that i do ok on practice exams, but i am not consistently doing well. what i mean is, when i review my exam i am only getting stretches of 7-8questions correct in a row. then i will get one or two wrong, and then another stretch of correct answers.

anyone else getting scores like this? anyone know how this may relate to the NCLEX? i know in order to pass the NCLEX, you have to stay above the passing line. i am worried......

i will be taking the NCLEX in feb or march, so i still have time to do lots and lots of questions. but, i am a little worried

Yes I am suffering from that too with kaplan, I create tests in all catagories then I do a test of 50 questions, in some tests I do 60, 65, sometimes 70 and in some similar tests I do 45 50 and 55 and its starting to worry me, I am also doing sauders and I pass it with 69 and some times 70's . The results are inconsistant. I feel that Kaplan sometimes tests us on weird questions. This is really making me nervous! I take my test end of FEB

ashonman- you will know if you passed or failed by looking at the graph. there is a non passing zone, bordeline, and passing. you just see where you are on that graph

Thank Miss JKM for pointing that out to me, I am counting my days now 5 more days and I cant even seem to think I am taking QT 7 if the readiness test is the predictor of nclex then I am a little bit confident. I think I have studied enough, am tired and I scheduled for a full body massage a day before the test but my mom discouraged me from doing that and now I am all over the place I can not relax. So i have decieded to just stay with Kaplan questions ony

ashonman, when are you taking the NCLEX? I think its a great idea for you t relax before the exam. you should do whatever it is that helps you relax. as far as studying, since I pass kaplans readiness test I am just doing 100 questions a day. when I get my ATT and set a date I will do question trainer 7 and is I need to review content, I will do a brief review.

I am sure you will be fine. keep me updated!

Miss JKM I am actually taking it in a few days, I actually just finished taking QT 7 and made 67% on it my problem is I like second guessing which is horrible. I have been fluctuating with the Kaplan QTs between 57 and 80 so I dont know we will see. Like I said it is scary facing the unknown. Do you think I should just do KAPLAN or other CDs I am averaging 200 questions a day. QT 7 is 200 question and I might do some more before going to bed that is all I do all day is questions.

ashonman I think you are doing well with kaplan and would just keep doing it. best of luck on your test and take some time to relax and have fun!

don't freak guys, it'd be like someone calling a code in your head versus having a routine med-surg pt. to take care of while doing the test.

rely on your good study habits, believe in yourself, work hard. you can pass this exam just like thousands before you!
