  1. The NCLEX questions seemed more straightforward and easier than Kaplan. However, if you didnt know the answer they were tough to narrow down. I'm notoriously bad at SATA, but I found that my SATA...
  2. FAILED

    Do you feel that you need more content review? Or is it test taking skills? If you know your content I would say stick with JUST Kaplan. People go all crazy buying every review book there is. For me...
  3. 11 days till test day, I need some advice

    It looks like you're prepared at this point. I would contain to refresh your mind about lab value (unless they're already memorized). I saved qtrainer 7 until a few days before. I wanted to keep...
  4. Kinda Freaking Out

    Be sure to know the sequence of putting on and removing PPE. Also, if you know what needs airborne precautions and what needs contact, then the rest fall under droplet. A little bit of memorization,...
  5. Proctors know if you pass NCLEX?

    My proctor said "hopefully it works out for you" and had a sad look on his face. For no reason too, since i passed with 75q. Didn't seem like he knew the
  6. Qtrainer Scores

    There are quite a few threads on this topic. Kaplan would like you to get a 65% on qtrainers 6 & 7, although 60 is great too. I had a 64 on qt6 and a 70 on qt7. I passed NCLEX with 75
  7. Newrngrad, Mine read the same and I passed with 75 questions. Looks like you did too,
  8. From what i understand, SATA aren't necessarily higher level questions... they are just alternative format. So don't get bummed if you think you didnt get enough. Hang in there, less than a day to go...
  9. Took my test today, got 75 questions, thought it was horrific. I'm getting the pop up that says contact BON. Hope it holds
  10. NCLEX was nothing of what i expected

    Gotcha, thanks! Had me freaking out that there was some big concept I
  11. NCLEX was nothing of what i expected

    Congrats!!! Also, what do you mean know both meq and mg for Calcium. Do you mean calculations? A bit confused
  12. ATT e-mail

    As for people getting ATT's sooner than others, that's what is happening with my school. I got mine May 21st (the day of my graduation) and people who sent it even earlier than I did have still not...
  13. NCLEX prep

    I've been studying for 3 weeks and if i let my anxiety get to me I'd keep pushing my NCLEX date back. I think you need to hit the books hard, realize that you'll never remember every little detail,...
  14. NCLEX...I can't study!!! Ahh!

    Make a study schedule for yourself and make sure it's realistic. Reward yourself when you get through an entire chapter/100 questions/etc. Don't make yourself feel guilty about not being able to stick...
  15. Teaching the pt about correct tampon/pad use at this time won't help her current situation of TSS. So you can throw that out right away simply based on that. The Cipro is important, but will not...
  16. Kaplan?

    Like others have said, a 64 is a good score. I would keep practicing questions because it'll get used to you answering NCLEX style questions. Also, you'll run across topics/concepts you may have never...
  17. Pre- NCLEX Anxiety

    We always had NCLEX style questions, including the SATA (ugh!), but never on the computer. They were always scantron and timed, although obviously we could go back and change answers. I kind of wish...
  18. Nerves are getting me.

    I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX-RN at the end of next week and my nerves are starting to get me. I've been studying about 3 weeks now and have done it diligently. I took the in-person Kaplan course,...
  19. one more week! taking test on the 18th

    Best of luck! Mine is at 2pm. Where I'm headed has horrendous traffic so taking it at 8am would've been more stressful for me. (hard to gauge when to leave house to not be late, but also not terribly...
  20. 69% on readiness test

    I am mistaken! Sorry about that. For some reason I thought the third one was another full
  21. Contact your BON. I'd be very surprised if it's
  22. 69% on readiness test

    Anything 65+ Kaplan says you're ready. Did you take the 265 question sample on qbank? Taking that might make you feel more confident
  23. OMG........30% in diagnostic test

    As FutureNurse35 said, you can really raise your scores quickly by reviewing. I was weak in 'Management of Care' and now it's very good. Start on your weak areas first. Best of
  24. My thought was that you couldn't even take the NCLEX before you had proof you completed the nursing program. Anyone else know if this is possible? My BON wouldn't issue an ATT until my school sent...
  25. one more week! taking test on the 18th

    Took qtrainer 7 yesterday and got a 70%. At this point I finished all of the qbank and I'm going over the qt7 answers. I plan on looking over meds today and flipping through flashcards tomorrow....
