Taking NCLEX in February.. need advice!

Published

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!

I was scheduled for February 14th, but I was getting freaked out (psyching myself out)... so I changed my test date to... Friday January 27th!!! :eek:

I just found out today that I passed.

Here's my Kaplan info:

  • Diagnostic A: 55.6%
  • QT 1: 60%
  • QT 2: 65.3%
  • QT 3: 54%
  • QT 4: 53.3%
  • QT 5: 54.7%
  • QT 6: 57%
  • QT 7: 55.1%
  • Q Bank: 57% (I completed all but 160 questions. I repeated some that I missed AND Kaplan kicked me off making it look like I didn't reach 98 questions… Therefore, this percentage is NOT accurate).
  • Readiness: 66.1%

ETA: I had a little over 100 questions. 21 SATA, 1 med math, lots of prioritizing...

@beccaz07 That's a great idea! I posted above about my experience with nclex. I to went back through Uworld and did all the questions I got incorrect. :)

Just took NCLEX Jan. 31, 2017. Passed with 75 questions.

From my experience:

Had about 1/2 select all that apply.

Big focus on priority care & patient assignments.

It was somewhat difficult, but it wasn't horrible. Totally doable. I used Saunders comprehensive review and some NCLEX 4000.

How u felt the questions? I mean any similarity with nclex 4000
