I found myself also decreasing in scores on Kaplan. When I first started the questions, I was mak ng 63-64%, then closer to NCLEX, I was making 58-60%. I'm not sure why, though I do believe your anxiety is truly getting to you! 3-4 days prior to my exam, I found it difficult to study, and I think it was my mind's way of telling me that I was ready. As I mentioned earlier, I had also really worried about SATA, however I found that the harder questions on NCLEX were the simple multiple choice questions. I am not saying not to study SATA, I'm just saying do not be afraid of them, they're usually not too bad. It's great that you are doing 150 questions per day. I studied for 3-4 hours per day of content, then did 500-700 questions per day (Kaplan and/or NCLEX Mastery App). Though I don't know if that many questions is good for everyone, I know that it definitely worked for me! Remeber to control your anxiety while taking the test, it is your ultimate obstacle! Good luck, future RN!

Thank you! I paid for 1 month of Kaplan Qbank and finished about half of the questions, each time with 75 questions, and I was making 58-64% on each. I also did Virtual ATI before I graduated, but I don't know if that helped any. I recommend Kaplan! I think its only like $60 for a month of questions.

I used Saunders for content review (questions were too simple), I paid for Kaplan bank for 1 month which helped a ton, and I completed the NCLEX Mastery App. I only studied for about 2 weeks before my exam, though I don't recommend that for everyone!

I did it the first time about 6 hours after completing my exam, then again in 24 hours. Both were good pop ups. Same for fellow classmate.

I took NCLEX 2 weeks ago and had the same exact feeling whenever my exam cut off at 75. Even so much as started applying for non-nursing jobs because I knew I failed. After 2 long days, I found out I passed! You really have to bomb that test to fail at 75... So I'm almost sure you passed! Praying!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share my experience with NCLEX. Prior to sitting for my exam, I read numerous posts that said "If you're not getting a ton of select all that apply on NCLEX then you're not doing well". Well, of course, during NCLEX I had 75 questions and only 11 SATA. Leaving the exam I felt completely crushed, as I had already convinced myself I had failed because I didn't have many SATA. For those that are worried, IT DOES NOT MATTER! I passed NCLEX in 32 minutes with 75 questions, 11 of which were SATA (took it May 26th). For those who are preparing for NCLEX, please do not focus on the types of questions you are getting during the test, it only increases your anxiety! Good luck to the future RNs! P.S. I did Pearson Vue trick and it worked for me and my fellow classmate who took it the same day!
