    Erin1984 replied to nurseinca california's topic in Nurses Recovery

  9. Kaplan Qbank/Question Trainer Scores

    Erin1984 replied to nme1103's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This post made me lol! Especially the examples of some of Kaplans rationales. I couldn't agree more about doing questions instead of studying content. My take is this- the breadth of information that...

  13. Unsure if ready...Advice?

    Erin1984 replied to murseymurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Qt6 and 7 scores are great as kaplan recommends a 60% on both of those. Your other scores are not as high as they recommend though (qbank I think they recommend a 60 as well). That being said, I had...

  14. Getting ready to take the NCLEX for the 6th time

    Erin1984 replied to robesher's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think one thing that really helped me pass in 75q was to turn off the clock in the upper right hand corner. I took my sweet time with the first 75. I thought through each and every option. I told...

  15. Passed NCLEX in 75 questions!

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally agree with Stella. The content isn't difficult. If you know your core nursing you are good. It is as much a mental toughness test as a knowledge exam. You have to believe in yourself, take...

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am sorry to hear you failed. A classmate of mine took the online classroom version of Kaplan and really liked it. I think it's pretty similar to the real live version. Kaplan is awesome and I would...

    Erin1984 replied to Erin1984's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey there, I read the Kaplan book AND watched the LOD videos. I really liked the videos because they really broke it down in to what you really needed to know. I found the book to be good, but dry and...
