I am interested in getting into this. Do you mind sharing how you did it or who you work for?

Tell him to do Kaplan. Their diagnostic test can help tell him where he needs work at. Also look at the Lacharity Prioritization book which is excellent practice for those types of questions.

Your scores look great, I used kaplan too and never got higher than a 64 on the trainers and a 60% on Qbank. Passed Nclex the 1st time. Kaplan questions are much harder than nclex questions. Do the Sample tests that have the ALL SATA questions.

Im married with 3 kids and decided to go the ADN route cause I needed to start working ASAP and so that the hospital I worked at could foot some of the bill for my BSN. Im happy with that choice.

ADN @ 36 BSN @ 38 projected

I scored a 86% chance of passing the 1st time, passed the 1st time with 110 questions.

My scores ranged from 54% (Hematologic Problems) to 94% (Cardiovascular problems). had alot of 60's and 70's. Passed Nclex the 1st time.

I used Kaplan for about 5-6 weeks. Graduated May 18th and tested June 27th. I had the Saunders book but didnt do much from it. Mainly focused on just Kaplan and doing the chapters in the LaCharity book. FInished all of those but a couple and didnt bother with the case studies. I scored 63's to 64's on my Qtrainers and a 60% on my Qbank. Passed the first time with 110 questions. Kaplan questions and SATA are much harder than Nclex. I did every Qbank question, every trainer, every sample test. I went back and created tests with just the Qbank questions I got wrong and redid those over again. I read every rationale for both right and wrong answers. It helped.

How did you study the first time?

I really just looked at the most common ones, Dig, Lithium, Betas, ACes, ect. Thing is I only remember getting about 5 med questions, and it wasnt anything too crazy.

Congrats! Took mine yesterday with 110 questions and got the good pop up as well. I start my oncology position July 7th. Nice that we get a week to ourselves before working :)

Yup!

Its been 100% accurate for my classmates thus far. Everyone who passed got the good pop up, one girl who failed was taken directly to the CC screen.

The Kaplan questions were much harder. I got about 25 to 30 SATA, 2 EKG's, 3 Drag and Drops, 2 charts. I found the SATA to be much simpler than the Kaplan ones.

I re-did the Q-bank questions that I got wrong and I did the sample tests as well.

Took it 8am this morning, was done by 9:50. 110 questions and I got that beautiful blue screen and have never felt such a relief to see a screen. I started to panic when I went past 75 questions and had to take some deep breaths. Did the PVT and got the good pop-up.

What did you use to study?

I take mine tomorrow and have been trying to take a nap all day but cant cause everything I lay down my heart starts racing and by stomach starts churning. Bought some Benadryl so I can get some sleep tonight.

Its right under where you click, "Create a test".

You passed

So I finally finished all my Qtrainers for my Nclex this friday. Final tally: Diagnostic = 55 Readiness (Taken before doing qbank and trainers): 62 QT 1= 52 QT 2= 63 QT 3= 59 QT 4= 63 QT 5= 63 QT 6= 64 QT 7= 64 I dont really seem to have gone up much, Im pretty consistent but I feel okay with these scores. Some last minute studying before the big day.

wannabenycnurse2011, did you ever finish Qtrainers 6 and 7?

You are not alone, many people fail the 1st time and still go on to become great nurses. Allow yourself a day to recoup, drink some wine, eat some chocolate, lick your wounds. Then regroup and get back on that horse!
