I was really upset at my 50% and decided to retake it...I got a 57%...I could have totally gotten a 60, had I not second guessed at some. I feel a little better now...just need to keep the anxiety at bay and keep a clear head. Time for rationales now!

lol, it does seem quite fishy...but my 50 has not lowered my confidence...just wanted to know whether its worth taking over again, or just go straight to rationales...since that's where the meat of the studying is.

This is what I did for trainer 6 and I did well. I figured I would take it in one sitting - but that ended in a headache - staring at a comp screen for 5 hours. lol. Ty for the response.

Hey guys, I took trainer test 6 a couple days ago and got a 64%. I took trainer test 7 and got a 50%...but it was so damn long and half way through I got tired of it and kind of rushed most of the questions...especially the ones where you had to read the most. It honestly made my head hurt. I also felt like the questions were harder then 6. Would you guys recommend I try to take it again, or should I just go over the rationales at this point?

congrats rachel! I take it in about 11 days and I am super anxious. I have the same Kaplan scores and have started doing a lot of alternate format questions from Saunders. Could you please e-mail me the study guides as well? e-mail: [email protected] not sure if there's a PM function on this site..if there is I can't find it..lol. Congrats again!!

I was wondering if maybe someone else could chime in?

Thanks for the reply, and good luck and best wishes on your test! The people that took it from my class also only did Kaplan and ended up passing as well, but I hadn't heard about NCSBN from anybody else except for these forums. I finished the Qbank, but I guess I will go back and do the incorrect ones now and start taking notes and remediating.

Hey everyone, I've read a lot about NCLEX studying tips on this forum for the past 2-3 weeks, so I have picked up quite a few things. I am doing Kaplan, NCSBN and I recently bought LaCharity. With Kaplan, I can't seem to get past a 56% on 75 Qbank questions. I haven't done question trainers 4-7 yet, because I do not feel confident enough. I bought the NCSBN 3-week course yesterday and have been doing the questions. I haven't really gotten anything less then a 68% on the pre-test so far. I've realized that the questions for NCSBN are easier then Kaplan. They are more straightforward and really seem to be focusing on the very important part of the subject. Is the NCLEX similar to NCSBN or is it more like the Kaplan questions? I plan on using all my resources anyway...but the NCSBN questions are helping my anxieties get a little lower...but the Kaplan makes me feel like I should really set another test date - for reference my test is exactly 3 weeks from today. Any thoughts and tips will be helpful, thank you all!

All of orientation was a mess, lol. I'm just glad I was able to register for the classes the right way. I was green as well bcolli1, I saw no one in our group staying together...don't think any of the groups did, lol.

Our scrubs actually have "Community College of Philadelphia" written on it right? Or, at least the top.

Ah okay, makes sense. So many things they want us to do! lol

I just received my orientation packet today, and I must say that we do not need all the health/drug screening/background checks until July 13th. This means that we do not need to bring these documents JUST to attend orientation, as previously stated by cupidsqueen420, rather we will be told more about these documents at orientation. I am excited to meet all of you at orientation, and even more excited to take actual nursing courses! Also, thank you shahoo05. I got an A in Diet last semester, so maybe that might've helped...who knows? I'm just excited that I got accepted. I figured I'd wait off till orientation to pick my courses incase there's some special instruction or something... Is anyone taking microbiology next semester?

I see, thank you cupidsqueen420. I must say I am excited for the program, the only worry now is finding a job with RN...if thats possible, lol.

I see, that makes sense. So do we need to complete the criminal check/CPR certification and stuff BEFORE the orientation, or do we get told AT orientation when we need to do those things?

Hello everyone, I have just recently gotten accepted for the 2012 nursing semester(literally got the letter today). I was surprised to say the least, since I got a C last semester in Chemistry. I was actually 99% sure I wouldn't get in. Either way, it's a surprise, and congrats to everyone else that has gotten in! I plan on giving my check this week, does anyone know how the class selection/physicals and all that stuff starts?
