1. NCLEX questions vs. study questions

   plcrn05 replied to PSUNURS05's topic in NCLEX

   NCLEX questions are in a world of their own...honestly. I would have to say that they're closets to Kaplan, NCSBN and Mosby's. No matter what the study material you decide to use, make sure you review the answers and rationale....you'll never know wh...

5. I'm starting to freak out about the NCLEX!

   plcrn05 replied to RainDreamer's topic in NCLEX

   Sounds like you're doing everything you can to "study" for this exam. I took it yesterday - was doing questions consistently since June 4th. I took Kaplan - it helped a little with the priority and delegation. I did all of their trainer tests, did Mo...

6. NCLEX scheduled 6/22 - Kaplan, Mosby's CAT, etc - advice?

   plcrn05 replied to plcrn05's topic in NCLEX

   Hi Chirstine!! Well, it shut off at 75...I have no idea how I did. I feel like I guessed on so many of them!! I had a lot of priority, some meds, NO math, and questions on Alzheimers and botulism...go figure. I'm just hoping that it shut off because ...

   plcrn05 replied to msnicole418's topic in NCLEX

   No problem, msnicole418....thank goodness for this board, because that's how I discovered Mosby's CAT, and I REALLY needed the confidence booster too! I'm still scoring in the mid 60% on Kaplan. *sigh* Maybe I'll push my test date up a week just for ...

   plcrn05 replied to Gigglesforall's topic in NCLEX

    plcrn05 replied to plcrn05's topic in NCLEX

    Hi... Thanks for the recommendation for learningext.com. Actually I did that one already....didnt' score above 70-75% on the random Q&A, but most were around 60-65%. How were your scores on their 'mini' exams? I scored a 67% on their pre-test. Co...

    plcrn05 replied to msnicole418's topic in NCLEX

    Hi Nicole... I, too, am very nervous. I take NCLEX on 6/22 and haven't been scoring higher than 63% on Kaplan Trainer exams or NCSBN. My scores for Kaplan diagnostic said I was "borderline" Just remember to relax. I find that when I'm being timed for...
