PVT Works, Lower Kaplan Scores, Encouragement for all-my story!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to tell everyone that THEY CAN DO IT!!!!!! I took my NCLEX on June 28th and just found out this morning that I passed. I look back over the last four years and can't believe I did it and I'm here now. Got to a day I thought may never come. I just want to give everyone some hope. First off the pearson vue trick worked for me!!!!

I studied for a solid month...every single day. Did question after question, book after book, took Kaplan and did 100% of the qbank, all the question trainers, watched the content videos, took lots of notes, etc. But my kaplan scores were mediocre and I got discouraged from my teachers who kept saying you should have a 65% consistently before you take the NCLEX. I got nervous up until the moment of the test about whether I was ready but I kinda figured there was nothing more I could do to study. I had kinda reached my plateau. Let's face it...no one is ever going to be READY for the NCLEX. My computer shut off in 75 questions which I had hoped and prayed would happen all along and once it did I was totally not ready because I felt like I had done awful on the questions. Felt like I had nothing that I had studied. Lots of random drugs, diseases, diet questions, 7 SATA, 1 drag and drop, 1 chart exhibit, and 1 math. I did have a lot of priority which was a good thing for me. ANYWAY....I just want to tell you what my kaplan scores are to ease the minds of those who aren't getting all 65s before they test.

Diagnostic Exam 61%

QT 1- 51%

QT 2- 63%

QT 3- 52%

QT 4- 51%

QT 5- 61%

QT 6- 52 %

QT 7- 55%

Readiness Test 66%

So YOU CAN DO IT!!! And you know what helped the most...PRAYER. I couldn't have done it without the prayers and support from everyone in my life!! God is good!!!

Good luck to everyone :) Listen to the song "Keep Your Head Up"-Andy Grammer...it will cheer you up!!!

This is kind of what I needed to help me for motivation. I just took the 4 day Kaplan course last week and scheduled my test for July 15th! Ive been worried about the scores and it is making me think whether i should change my test date. Ive been doing questions almost every day.

So far, these are my scores

Diag- 57

QT 1- 57

QT 2- 57

QT 3-54

Im going to do QT 5 today and Q6 tomorrow and start on some question bank today but this weekend and next week im going to definitely do LOTS of QBANK! I believe there are 1200 questions on the Qbank or are there more? It just says 1000+. I just hope im not behind :eek::eek:!!! Thanks alot for sharing again, and im going to continue thinking positive, Truly BELIEVING THAT I WILL PASS!

I think you will be okay!! You still have a few weeks so just dedicate all the time you can to practicing!! Your scores are similar to mine!! Qbank is great...I can't remember exactly how many there were but just try and do as much as possible. I would just do like 10 or 20 here and there so it didn't get totally overwhelming doing a million at once. When you do the qbank and go in to create a test, there is a category on the left hand side tool bar that says sample NCLEX tests. Those are great...I recommend those...and they count in to the amount of qbank questions!! Also there is a alternative answer quiz that is part of kaplan...it allows you to practice all the types of questions that aren't multiple choice!! I hope this helps!! You will do great...be positive!! Let us know how you do!!

Congratulations!

Thanks so much for sharing. I have been so scared but I refuse to be scared anymore. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Our God is a faithful God and He can do exceedingly, abundantly, above what we can dream or think of.

He will see us through.

Congrats once again
