I graduated with 45 classmates from an ADN program and everyone basically had a job before even graduating. About 90% were hired at a level 1 trauma hospital and hired in all areas such as ICU, er, or, med surg etc...

I messaged you.

My scores were mainly in the 50's passed first try wih 75q - you will do just fine :-)

Congrats to you all!!!

If Hesi entrance definitely buy hesi entrance assessment book. Cheap off amazon and covers exactly what type of things you'll see on the real exam. Failed math first try got this book got 93% on math second try!

I graduated with around 45 people in my class and every one of us passed on the first try. I read more stories of people passing then failing. And I have to second that a great program will prepare you for boards.

I did the readiness, diagnostic, qt1-7, samples 1-4, the alternate format qbank and some more from the qbank. I also did the 4 day live online anywhere review. I made sure I read every rationale for every question I did. I ended up doing about 2000 questions in a week and a half. I also went back to my kaplan book and buffed up on areas I knew I was weak in and went over lab values and procedures. My school really prepared me as well content wise. I would usually study from about 12pm to 6pm everyday with plenty of breaks in between so my brain wasn't totally fried. And my personal opinion was Kaplan was much more wordier then NCLEX and a bit harder, but the NCLEX is different for everyone so it just depends on the questions you get and if you know your content. Kaplan stressed don't pass the buck unless you REALLY have to which really is helpful when approaching a question.

Shockingly I walked out feeling really good which scared me! Passed first time with 75q and maybe I just got lucky and got the questions I knew, but glad its over for good!

I used solely kaplan for about a week and half. Passed Nclex first time with 75q.

Kaplan

I got a 61% on my readiness test, passed 1st time with 75q.

I loved Kaplan, but I didn't personally use the decision tree. I used qbanks/rationales and content videos.

All I did was qtrainers 1-7, Samples 1-4, readiness and diagnostic and a few from the qbank in areas I was weak in.

They say it's most accurate after 24hrs, but it was right for me right away.

Trick worked for me!!
