am i ready?

No one is ready, that's the secret. You're not a failure if you need to retake the exam. I work with phenomenal nurses that took a few tries to pass the exam. Focus on the basics, take a deep breath, do your best. You're ahead of the curve by even asking for ideas. You'll be okay, now or later.

blackhundred- thanks for the encouraging thoughts.

From what I've heard the Kaplan questions are a little more difficult than the actual Nclex questions. I'm taking mine on the 18th. My qbank is 59% and the highest Qtrainer I got is 60%. One of my classmates only got above a 60% once on Kaplan and she passed with 85 questions.

Hope that helps.

thank you so much for your replies. i hope to hear more from other people who got a low qbank average

hi i'm taking mine on the 30th of this month. my Qbank scores have been relatively similar to yours. i feel so good about my answers while i'm taking it but as soon as i'm done and see my actual scores i'm a bit shocked. then, when i review it, most of the time it was me being between two answers and i choose the other one. dope! i'm getting better i guess. hope this helps. those questions they throw at you are tricky. i need to learn to trust myself more, and go with my instinct more often. all i can say is that i'm learing.

Hi! I am taking my exam tomorrow the 20th..like you i average 60's in kaplan and 70's in saunders..just keep the faith and God will do the rest for you..
