i'm freaking out about the exam on tuesday. I don't feel ready and i'm only getting high 60's on my kaplan tests and that is freaking me out even more. I felt ready before but now I just feel like I need more time to review.

UGH.

Try tro calm down, high 60's are normal grades on the Kaplan test they want you to aim for 65 for the first 5 qtrainers and 6 and 7 get 60 so your grades sound dead on. You will never feel ready. It is really up to you to decide if you will take it or not, but freakin out will not help you in the exam it could actually hurt you. If you are planning to take it on tuesday takethe day before the test off the rest and relax. Best of luck.

well that does make me feel better; a friend of mine said she waited until she was getting 75's on the tests so that's what I was aiming for. The thing that scared me the most was that I got my best score on the diagnostic test as opposed to the qtrainers or the readiness which makes no sense since the diagnostic was before I started to study.

*deep breathes*....

freaking out is part of my nature before an exam; anyone that knows me from nursing school can attest to that:p

I just had to get it out somewhere.... deep down I know I will pass but alas I must still freak myself out beforehand.

Maybe the dianostic test has content that you are really familiar with I would not watch the scores but more review the questions and figure out why I got the ques wrong and see my strong and weak areas.

Lovendove YOU CAN DO IT! I don't even have KAPLAN qtrainers. My study materials are saunder's comprehensive 3rd edition (I finished until Pediatric nursing then stop), saunder's Q & A book & cd, Saunder's alternate item formats book & cd, and Lacharity prioritization & delegation. Aside from this I almost completed the questions on NCSBN online review and this morning I was trying to answer the NCLEX 3500 and im getting high 60s too. We can do this! Good luck to us
