Good Luck!

Kaplan wants you to focus on your scores on QT 6 and 7. I scored a 63% on 6 and a 57% on 7. I did 1,300 questions in the Qbank with an average score of 59%. Before I took NCLEX I went back and reviewed QT 6 and 7, did not pick up a book the day before the test, and passed NCLEX on June 18th. Just make sure you do questions everyday and any section where you are below a 60%... go back and review. You'll be fine!

Hey... the only thing I used for preparing for the NCLEX was Kaplan. I did 1,300 in the Qbank and my total average for the Qbank was 59%. I got a 57% on my Diagnostic and a 63% on the readiness. After I completed the kaplan course I waited 2 1/2 weeks to take the NCLEX. I basically just followed Kaplan's directions step-by-step. And section where I was below 60% I read the Kaplan book COMPLETELY in that section. I reviewed test 6 and test 7 before taking the exam, and I feel that it helped because there was a lot of the same material from those test on the NCLEX. I got a 63% on testy trainer 6 and a 57% on test trainer 7. I would encourage you to review those, and to do ALL of the questions in the Qbank, and then review them. I personally don't feel that the "decision tree" halped too much because I had a lot of questions that went from step 1 to step 5. But, I will say that the Qbank was very helpful! Good Luck! :nuke:

Hmm... I tried the Pearsonvue trick and it says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact etc...." So i'm not sure what that means really, I just heard that it wasnt a good sign if it lets you go all the way to where you pay. So maybe it's right since I did pass and it doesn't let me go all the way through? I hope you find out soon!

Thank you so much! What a relief! Let me know when you find out...

I just found out that I did PASS! It was posted on the actual state boards site.

I was trying the "trick" but my results came up first on the Ohio board of nursing site. Idk where you are from but, maybe check there too if possible?

I just found out that I passed! I hope all of you pass as well... that test was rough! Keep us updated and let me know when you pass!

I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday morning. I used Kaplan and I felt that the questions they give you were very good practice. However, they teach you something called the "decision tree" and garuntee you that if you use this method you WILL pass NCLEX. I found yesterday that I was unable to use that method on WELL over half of the questions. I had 243 questions, and I'm not sure if I passed yet or not. I will tell you that as a class at my school we all took Kaplan, I'm only the 2nd in my class to take the test, the first person passes with 75 questions. Last year, 100% of the students who took Kaplan passed. Idk if that helps... good luck!

I took NCLEX-RN yesterday morning... I had 23 SATA's, 1 drop and drag, 3 calculations, a bunch of medications, and prioritization. I had around 243 questions... I lost track because I was getting so nervous and losing hope. I sat there for 5 hours and 57 minutes. It was torture! I've been told the theory on SATA's being upper-level questions, most of mine were in the beginning and then they started to become less and less. My last 2 questions: one was the drag and drop, and the last I believe was priority. Any thoughts? I feel about 99.8% sure that I failed. I used Kaplan and got a 63% on my readiness and averaged a 59% in the Qbank. However, I felt that when using the "decision tree" I had TONS of questions that went straight from step one to step five. Which was extremely frustrating! Congrats to everyone who passed! :redbeathe

I sat for NCLEX yesterday and it shutoff at about 243 questions. (somewhere in that area) I had about 22 SATA, 3 calculations, 1 "put in order", several medications, and a good majority of priority questions. I noticed during the exam that I seem to have "repeat questions" that were re-worded differently but looking for the same response. I am assuming that I missed these thinking, why would it ask me twice? Anyone had a similar experience in any of these aspects? I feel like my world is crumbling because I used Kaplan, did well over 2,000 questions, studied my bottom off and feel like I failed. Around question 180 I started to kind of freak out and i'm not sure if I recovered. I sat there for 5 hours and 57 minutes! And I think because I noticed that I was running out of time, I started to rush. It was a terrible experience... a little encouragement is needed, and greatly appreciated.
