I said stop reviewing so much content as when you go through the rationales of the question you are in a sense also reviewing content, I also added to review the content in your weak areas...... I was just posting for Kaplan people getting lower scores as I was not intending to give you false hope.

Hello All, If you were anything like me doing the Kaplan question trainers, you would get done and immediately freak out and research your scores because you felt like you were doing so poorly. The 65% they tell you to get never happened for me except sometimes when doing a 20 question Qbank test. Anyways, I promised pass or fail I would post all my results to make someone else feel a little better about their scores. Question Trainer Tests: 1-53% 2-57.3% 3-50% 4-55% 5-52% 6-62% 7-58% QBank- I only completed about 30% of (I know so horrible of me) My average was a 60%, I utilized the Qbank to specifically do subjects I did poorest on in my previous Question Trainer. Paying special attention to the exam breakdown, Pharm & Management of Care are top two I believe. When I first started studying I was going through content, content, content. I got so frustrated with Kaplans content section I actually purchased a 5 week NCSBN review ($55). The content was much more to the point and the questions made me feel better than Kaplan- I wasn't getting 55% and flipping out. They also give you rationales a bit better than, "Not applicaple" or "Priority, but not as high as #3". Plus, they make the test so I felt I couldn't go wrong. And for the moment you all have been reading for... I passed... 75 questions... ~36 multiple multiples. Yes that many multiple multiples(). People who passed kept telling me "don't even study anymore". Which was true. You know what you know from nursing school. DO QUESTIONS. STOP REVIEWING SO MUCH CONTENT. STOP DOUBTING. Review the sections you did really poorly on then use the Qbank to review by doing questions and looking at rationale. If you don't look at rationale nothing will stick and it will be a waste of time. OK, done ranting. Best of luck studying and I hope my scores put someone else at ease like the other posts helped me. Best of Luck, New RN
