qbank scores

Published

If anyone has used the kaplan online course, can you share with me your scores on qbank. My scores range from 65%-83%. As I study more and more, my scores are going up. In physiological adaptation my score on one quiz was 83%. My cumulative score on qbank so far is 71%. Any insight would be appreciated.

I would say you are doing great. I averaged around 70-75% on most my qBank questions. Being an A student the scores worried me. Then I read that above 65% was considered good. I passed my RN boards with 75 questions in 45 minutes. This was last April.

Wow! You are doing wonderful! A few of my friends, and myself have taken Kaplan, and are scheduled for Nclex in Feb. I can't even score above a 60% on the q-bank questions, and it is really worrying me! My weakest spot is, of course, phyiological integrity.

Could you please give me any pointers or tips in how you are studying/adapting ? I would greatly appreciate it!

Again, Wonderful Job! Keep up the wonderful work!

Before I do the qbank questions, I listen to the content videos online (I know, they are long, but it is informative) and then I do the review of questions. When I do the review of questions, I pause and try to pick out the answer and then see if I get it right when I hit play again. Then I do the Qbank questions for that category such as physiological integrity. I also do 200 questions from Saunders everyday and read the rationales because I want to see if I can get thru 200 questions just incase I get 265 on nclex. I read all the rationales for those as well. Hope this helps.

Do you think the Saunders book is helpful? I have Saunders, Lipponcott, Mosbys, etc. and just do not know where to begin or what to concentrate on that will be most beneficial.

I think any book is helpful, it just depends on what you prefer. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out what to use, I find that doing questions and reading the rationales helps me retain the information the most.

When I took my boards eons ago they didn't have Qbank, so make good use of this tool and any others you have at your disposal.:typing
