Qbank scores going DOWN!!!

[Graduatenurse14]

From my earlier thread:

Diagnostic- 65%

QTrainer 1- 61%

QTrainer 2- 51%

QTrainer 3- 52%

QTrainer 4- 62%

QTrainer 5- 57%

QTrainer 6- 63%

QTrainer 7- 61%

Readiness- 67%

Sample Test #1 52% 50 questions

(I first did the Sample Test #1 then read that you are supposed to those after you are done with the Qbanks. Ugh!!)

Qbank #1 53% 75 questions (I then read that if you are testing later than sooner only do no more 50 questions a day. More Ugh!!)

Qbank #2 60% 50 questions

I did Qbank #3 yesterday and got a 52%!!

I did 75 questions even though I think I'm supposed to only do 50 and I chose all sections. How can my scores be going down the more I study content and do more questions???? I am scheduled for July 29 but think that I'm going to move it back 1 week and order the LaCharity book since I have a lot of issues with those type questions. Thoughts???

BTW, I had to do ATI through my school and did one of their NCLEX predictor tests two days ago and exceeded the benchmark!!

Thanks!

My scores are all over the place on the QT's and Qbank tests! I have averaged between 55-64% on all of them, but the diagnostic was 73%. Did you have a Kaplan review course at school? Our school had us scheduled to do all the QT tests except 7 and a representative from Kaplan came to our school and did a week long course with our graduating class. She told us that after QT2, you will notice a fall in scores because the questions are "More" NCLEX like.

I have been doing only 50 qbank questions at a time. I don't want to overwhelm myself lol! I did take a few days off after graduation and it seemed to help me clear my head and look at everything with a fresh perspective!

Thanks for replying xojamieox! I took the 4-day Kaplan Classroom review over two weekends. We had to complete Diagnostic, all of Qtrainers and Readiness within the course. This morning, I did move my test back 1 week and ordered the LaCharity book. My anxiety was going through the roof and now I feel a little bit better.

Good luck!!!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!! I'm a nervous wreck without having the ATT, so I can only imagine what I will feel like when I actually schedule! Have you received the LaCharity book? Do you feel like it will help?

Seems to me you've been doing good on your trainers and q bank. Don't stress out too much over 1 q bank score. I think the overall grade is more predictive of your overall readiness. There was a q bank session where I only got a 49 although my overall score was 66% after finishing it. I didn't know you're supposed to do only 50 questions at a time, I always did 75.
