with 75 questions - Thank you Kaplan

[learninglessons12, BSN, RN]

I took the Kaplan Complete which includes the classroom, Q-bank and Q-trainers as well as the review of content. I began taking the Q-bank questions and got horrible scores. I started watching the review of content videos and my Q-bank scores began to get better. I watched every review of content video as well as all the testing strategy videos. I reviewed the book while watching the content video. I did every single Q- bank question and did all but 1 Question trainer (I skipped #2). After doing all the Q-banks, I started doing over the questions that I missed. I took the last 3 Q-trainers the way kaplan recommends and 5 days before the test, i stopped studying. I went to the movies, read and did anything to get out of the house. I took my test on 3/12/07. I was there for less than an hour. The questions were really hard. Decision tree from Kaplan helped for some questions but i found that you must know the content or you will not be successful. I was a C student and I passed with 75 questions. I highly recommend Kaplan.

CONGRATULATIONS!

If the questions were REALLY hard, what did in fact help you if you already knew the content?

Were the nclex questions similar as far as wording? Thank you!

I would say that the NCLEX questions were similar to Kaplan. On some questions it was easy to eliminate 2 answers and be left with two really good answers to choose from which is what made it really hard for me. Actually, maybe I used desicion tree more than I realized because I used maslow or abc to choose alot of answers. It took about 1 1/2- 2 months for me to go through all of the content.
