i passed nclex!!!! :w00t: so the pvt worked for me!!!! i didn't pay for the quick result, i just checked on the pa state website & saw that my name & license number was there!! i tested fri 7/6 & it was posted on mon 7/9 by 9am ! @ starmickey03 have you looked at your qbank cumulative results? they may give you a more accurate portrayal of your strengths & the areas that you need some more work on. the same thing happened to me & no i didn't stay above 60 in every area on every test. it is true that you need to focus on you weaknesses, but please don't forget to continue to raise the bar on the areas that are currently your strengths. :) good luck!!!

hello, i read this thread often want to say thanks to all of you!!! :yelclap: you are so supportive & sharing your experiences really does help!!! also inori saying things like. . . your name rn!!!! awesome!!! i took nclex yesterday (7/6/12) and finished in 75q's. some of the q's seemed so easy and some were so hard! it took me 2hrs & 3min to finish because i decided it would be better to take the time to "think through" the difficult q's & hopefully get them right- than to worry about my time and get more q's wrong. hopefully :uhoh21: that worked for me but i am not advising anyone to do this! if i would have needed to take the entire test i surely would have run out of time. but it was important for me to take a deep breath and relax a few times so that i didn't answer q's incorrectly due to being nervious! i do recommend kaplan, but beware that there were 2 times that they had the wrong answer highlighted. . .this i know for a fact. also a things like listing ast & alt as the exact same normal range of 8-40. i realize the "normal" will vary depending on the lab but if you get an nclex question that list alt as 54 u/l- you may end up choosing a wrong answer. i will be calling kaplan once i take the time to look through the test and write down all of the q's id numbers so that they can correct these things. i do still recommend them! but if anyone else has come across this plz report it! i paid $430 and i feel if they are charging every student hundreds of $$$ for material that will be used for a very important exam than yes- every one of kaplan's q's should be correct! i also used a test taking stratigies book which i found very useful because it helped me identify that i was a clumper!!!! lol which basically means when i answered a question that i didn't know- i would lose focus or continue to be anxious for the next few q's resulting in multiple q's in a row that i would get wrong!!! for a % test that is not that big of a deal. . .but for nclex that could get you below the passing line and result in failing! when your answering your practice q's pay attention to things like that because as we know- nclex is not only about right & wrong answers! i used saunders 5th e, lippincotts & kaplan on demand. also used the net for times i didn't feel like searching through books for content. prepped for 6 weeks. kaplan scores qbank average: 57 finished 87% diagnostic test: 57 q-trainer 1, 57 q-trainer 2, 53 q-trainer 3, 56 q-trainer 4, 58 q trainer 5, 63 q trainer 6, 62 q trainer 7, 61 radiness test: 70 i'll return & say if i passed or failed! hope this helps & good luck!!!!
