JRP1120, RN 146 Posts Has 1 years experience. May 25, 2011 What is this Q-trainer everyone is talking about, is it a paid course for Kaplan or something everyone can have access to?
Haylee1301 38 Posts May 25, 2011 Through the school that I graduated from we were required to purchase and attend the Kaplan review. We went to 4 8 hour sessions with a Kaplan professional and were taught about answering questions and what exactly NCLEX is looking for and how to narrow down choices for answers. With us taking the course we also have access to an online thing for Kaplan. It has review videos, questions from a question bank, sample NCLEX tests, and questions trainers. There are 7 questions trainers that are available. The first 4 or so are for review and Kaplan says that questions trainer 6 and 7 are more closely related to actual NCLEX style exam. I have seen on here where people have went through Kaplan though and purchased just the question bank questions from Kaplan. I am not sure exactly how much that is, but the course fee that we had to pay was about 420$, so hopefully it helps me out:) I hope that this helps you too. Go here to look: http://www.kaptest.com/

I am just taking my time on it though. I plan to take the NCLEX around the time my subscription ends mid-July. I am currently doing Qbank questions and my score is gradually going up. By the time I get to the trainers, hopefully my scores will be over 65%. Thanks for telling me the amount of questions on the trainers. It will give me a better idea on how to study up until I take the NCLEX. Good luck Halee!

Go here to look: http://www.kaptest.com/Thanks for your response. I would do this but I will not have enough time to use the materials in the way they are meant to be used. I take my NCLEX on June 6th. I do have Saunders, LaCharity, Kaplan blue book (2010-2011), Lippincott's Q&A and Exam Cram and I did take a 4-day review course recently so I think I'll be ok...I hope :)
