you must get at least 65% percent in each set.. especially on the last set(set7).. im doing 63-67% on kaplan question trainer before, which is included on my complete online review course in kaplan..then i bought saunders book afterwards.. a week before my exam, i opened my question trainer again.. but i only answered set4-7.. im getting around 77% that time.. that is after i read the saunders Q&A book and cd...goodluck

I believe that my average was in the low 60s. A had a high of 80% and a low of 50%. Buy passed the test in 79 questions. When I was done with the test I did not feel very confident. This was the case on almost every test I took in nursing. Even the Hesi on which I scored 945 on the first test and 1012 on the exit Hesi, I was clueless untill I received my score. I was just hoping for the 850 that we needed to pass. I went through about half of the Saunders book, none of the cd, and did about 2000 online Kaplan questions. Still with 2 years of nursing school, many practice NCLEX questions, Hesi, I felt like a lot of the NCLEX was completely new. I received about 10 pharm questions, but no math. I also received aprox. 8 to 10 of the new style questions. What I am saying is that I was in the low 60s on Kaplan and still passed.

for the kaplan question trainer..you have to get a 65 and above. My seventh and final test ..i got 63%. I was between the 63 and 72% range for the whole thing. I just found out that i passed the boards today. I have friends who always got below 65% and they still passed. So i tink the whole idea is going back and reading each rational carefully.

Congrats! I just finished my 5th Question Trainer test, and boy, am I consistent: tests #1-5 were 64, 65.33, 63, 62.67, 62.67! (I've already figured out that the percentage on the Analysis you get immediately after the test is inflated; you have to look at the number next to "completed" line after you take each Trainer to find out what it really is...it at first told me I got a 64 on this last one, and it was only a 62.67).

Anyway, the GOAL is to get a 65 or better, but as we've seen from LOTS of people, you sure don't HAVE to have that!

I never see a score in the 70's (lots of times I kick myself for changing an answer, or "knowing" the right answer and misreading a question, but the bottom line is what I actually scored, not what I COULD have scored if I'd have been thinking).

Still, I feel like I'm in good shape for this test, based on what I keep reading on the boards :)
