  9. Trust me, there's so much info the nclex can test you on it's impossible to know every single thing! Your readiness score sounds good, and as long as you did all the kaplan questions you'll be fine. I...
  10. Anyone take Kaplan & fail?

    I really think if you do all the questions kaplan has to offer and understand all the rationales you'll do great. Your scores sound like they're in the same area as my scores and I passed with 75...

  17. HELP!! I've just finished my Kaplan course last week and will be taking the NCLEX in two weeks. My kaplan instructor told us as long as we did the questions and scored within the "passing range" we'll...
