Taking my NCLEX-RN 6/21 advice needed

[RNin, ASN, RN]

Hi everyone! Lots of inspiration reading about all the good popup news. I'm a May 2012 graduate and scheduled to take my boards next week. I've been using NCSBN for 2 weeks doing mainly questions. I find the rationales to not be as detailed as to why the answers are wrong. I get scores in the range of 55-70% on the practice questions. Anyone who have used NCSBN, could you give me insight on how this fairs for me on the NCLEX?

I decided to stop using it and I've started using the Kaplan review book and CD. I'm trying to do as many questions as I can before the big day. Studying the AN cheat sheet as well. Is there anything I can do to help me prepare? Feeling like I'm not ready.

Thanks for reading

Hello!

I'm using NCBSN as well. I like because it's harder than any question I've ever answered for this preparation for NCLEX-RN. I agree the rationales are not tip top shape, but I can always go back to my textbook or better yet use the internet to research about the topic...thereby retaining more information as I learn new things about that topic that I never knew. I don't know if that makes sense or not.

But that's my personal opinion, Kaplan is great too! I love their strategy tips and stuff :)
