So to prepare for the NCLEX I have Kaplan and U world. I haven't been scoring high on Kaplan at all..
diagnostic: 64%
trainer 1: 59%
trainer 2: 56%
trainer 3: 46%
trainer 4: 61%
trainer 5: 53%
trainer 6: 54%
and I'm not sure how to find my q bank average... if someone could tell me how to that would be awesome but off the top of my head I've done maybe 250 q bank questions so far and I'm averaging low 50's.
I'm getting very discouraged and feeling like I'm not getting better jsut getting worse as I practice!
Also, I have u world, which I haven't used much of yet. Since you can create your own tests, does anyone have advice on how to utilize u world and create the tests?
Thanks so so much in advance!

Hello! I am also taking my NCLEX in february and our scores are quite similar. I havent taken QT 5 or 6 yet. If you go to Qbank and then on the left youll see it says cumulative it will show you your average score. When in february do you test?

I'm also hoping to test February and using Kaplan & Uworld. I haven't done Question trainers 5-7 yet, but Ive been averaging between 58-68 on Kaplan and 56-65 On Uworld.
I decided to start using Uworld because the rationale on Kaplan is lacking a bit for me. So far, I've been taking 75Q tests and using all subjects to see where my weak areas are. My plan is to go back when im done with the Qbanks and create tests in subject matters where I am weak. I am also planning on taking tests with the incorrect answers.
One strategy I believe is strongly helping me though is thoroughly going through rationales for ALL questions. Even the right ones - because I may be answering with a total different mindset then what the question was actually asking. If I am still confused, I go an look up content.
