Hello everyone! I took the NCLEX today and it went pretty well, especially since I got the "good" pop up. I had butterflies in my stomach the past 48 hours with extreme tachycardia when i thought about the exam. For those who are worried, I thought I'd share by scores on Kaplan and explain my studying habits which helped me pass....Visiting this site helped relieve my stress and I thought I'd share my experience to "give back." Kaplan scores Q1 - 65.3% Q2 - 57.3% Q3 - 53% Q4- 56% Q5 - 56% Q6- 59.5% Q7- 58.5% Maybe this will give people encouragement because most people that posted on this site were in the low 60's. I did 100% Q bank, averaging 53%, making numerous stupid mistakes upon reviewing. I then reviewed the 530 questions (in Q bank) that I got wrong for second time. I also wrote about 20 pages worth of questions that I got wrong, and reviewed it daily one week before the test. I had about 19 SATA which was comforting and finished with 75 questions. Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, I have Saunders 4th edition that I didn't even open. I also recommend reviewing the study guide found on this site. I am a huge KAPLAN fan!!!!!!!!

I haven't taken q7 yet...Hopefully in the next 2 days. Hopefully I can get at least a 60 on that one. I made a word document with most of the questions I got wrong, and that has been very time consuming. Anyways, thanks for advice. BTW, I think I developed adhd while studying for nclex bc I can't keep focused and easily distracted

Hello nursing grads...I'm getting prepared to take my NCLEX sometime in the next 10 days unless I chicken out and reschedule for February. My main studying has been Kaplan Q-bank and Q-trainers. However, I'm not scoring as high as I would like. For some reason, I'm stuck in the mid 50 range...Whenever I review my incorrect answers, I always feel like I was 50/50 between 2 choices and normally choose the wrong one. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you think it's worth waiting until I score in the 60-70 range before taking the text? If I take Kaplan q bank and trainers again, I'll probably score in the 80-90 range which will be fairly inaccurate since it would be my 2 time taking.

Thanks for the info! I'm headed up there next Friday to get my student ID and I hope to check out some of those places.

Hello everyone! I recently got accepted into the accelerated program too. I'm trying to get everything organized because there's so much to do. Has anyone thought about where they are going to live? I'm from Orlando and I'll be looking for a place soon.

Hello everyone! I'm very nervous about getting in. Although I have a 3.875 in my prereqs for nursing, my overall gpa when I went to UF years ago was about a 3.4. Although I have worked in the ER department in a hospital for about 8 months now, I think my GPA is going to hurt me. I'm also looking at UCF / SCC as a backup. After reading everyone's posts, I think I am on the lower end of getting in.
