Hey everybody. so i failed my 1st time with 265 questions using the Kaplan complete program. my question is, will it be wise to do kaplan again? i feel like that ive seen most of their questions already and will answer a lot of it by memory. the first time i did kaplan, i was scoring in between 60 - 70%. i answered 97% of the qbank questions and all 7 qtrainers with scored around 57 - 65. any ideas? will it still help if i do kaplan again?
thanks

Did you watch the review of content and test taking strategy videos that they offer online as part of the complete program? That's what helped me. Content is so important.

many people say that the scores for the kaplan Qtraniers really dont matter. what matters is that you understand the rationales and know your content.
I would say that your scores are above average. However, my best friend who did the kaplan, read the book and listened to the videos, recieved scores of 50-60%, and she passed the nclex with 75 questions. so here is proof that low scores does not dictate if you will pass or fail the nclex.
you know what? i didnt do that the first time around. i am going to check that out. as far as suzannes plan, I am going to try it. i want to know though if anyone did kaplan the first time, and for their second try, still did kaplan and passed.
