Should I reschedule?

Published

I'm scheduled to take NCLEX 7/11 @ 10:45am.

I've done the classroom Kaplan review and about 2000 questions from the Q-Bank/Question Trainer. I haven't been able to get to Kaplan's magic 65%. I range between 50% and 58%. In your opinion, should I go for it or reschedule?

You should defenetly quite at least one day before.

The only thing you may review is medication flash cards from Kaplan if you have it. Very helpful.

My Exam was on 07/07/07 and found out this morning that I passed.

Good luck.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I took question trainer 6 yesterday and scored 62%. My plan is to take #7 today. Would you all agree that if I get a 60% or better on #7, I should proceed on 7/11?

I found with #6, I did much better if I took frequent breaks. I'm going to try the same strategy with #7. Answer 30 questions then take a break.

Mentally, I'm over all of this. It seems the more time I spend the more nervous I get.

As another poster stated; you may begin to score worse as you get closer. You have until tomorrow to make a decision. How would you feel if you scored a 50 or 30 today or tomorrow, even? If it makes you feel horrible, then, what then? It seems that your mind is swaying towards rescheduling. Maybe it would be better to do so, just to give yourself peace of mind. My take on this is that if you did all that you can do, then, go in and take it. But, this is really bothering you, who is most important. Most of us have taken it already and are speaking from hindsight. Others are about to take and can't be that objective. I truly understand your dilemma. I want what is best for you. Good luck in your decision.

Ok, I got a 60% on question trainer #7. I'm taking it tomorrow. I'm going to do one more round of practice sessions, quit at 3pm and chill.

I'd say don't even do the practice sessions! You are great to go, feel confident and take that test!
