How the people get 65 and above for qt 6 and 7 for q bank it seems so hard i only get 40 i just wonder how they do it is it they answer them again and again to get 65 or just the first try?
male_murse 38 Posts Sep 5, 2014 I took nclex 2 months ago and failed at 140Q (Near passing for all section; 1 above) Average (55-60 on first 4 QTs)I got a 62 on QT: 5 first trySaving QT 6 and 7 the week before my exam.
male_murse 38 Posts Sep 5, 2014 I'm better than kaplan Qs than Hurst. I was getting 75-85/125 on the hurst. Took the last 2 for hurst earlier today and got 2 75/125 after 1 month of constant studying, my grades went down (I was in shock and disbelief). I did all QB for NCBSN and averaged in the 65-75 range (I find their QB to be the easiest). I don't really know where I stand right now.
male_murse 38 Posts Sep 5, 2014 I'm using Hurst only for content. I bought the kaplan RN book (600 page one) and it's too much...I have 2-3 weeks more...I might actually move my test

male_murse 38 Posts Sep 5, 2014 Thanks, I'm just low on money and don't want to gamble it again. it costs me 325 to retake

While I used several resources (Kaplan, Hurst, NCSBN, Saunder's and La Charity) I did notice within Kaplan there are "question videos" where they go over loads of questions... They are in sets of like 10 and are about 15-20 minutes long. I didn't get to listen to them all, though I will say for the ones I did watch, you do get a knack at how to better answer NCLEX questions. Also, make sure when you are doing questions read right/wrong answers and really understand the "why's" to various topics. While NCLEX doesn't expect you to know everything, I found when taking my test, I was glad "I knew a little bit about everything" as I felt I was tested on various topics. So, have core content down (know bits of key topics/illnesses within each body system), common med's and drug classes, infection control (very big on NCLEX - know precautions what PPE to wear and if the door should be open or closed with various diseases/illness), labs, delegation (know what RN, LPN and CNA's can do or not - delegation questions), procedures (ie. chest tubes, IV's, TPN/Gtube, catheter, admin eye/ear drops, suctioning, etc.) and know acute vs. chronic illnesses and do practice questions on these priority type questions (big on NCLEX). Within Kaplan there are also four sample tests (within the qbank) a few are priority and a few SATA. These are helpful!Keep up your efforts!! You can do it. :)
