Testing Tuesday 7/25 and.....

[RegisteredNurse06]

I'm testing on Tuesday, 7/25. I've been reviewing, using mostly Kaplan. I have used about 80% of the qbank questions and have a cumulative average of around 68%.

I have done 5 of the 7 Qtrainer tests. On the Qtrainers I have:

Test #1: 67%

Test #2: 70%

Test #3: 70%

Test #4: 74%

Test #5: 74%

I plan to do Qtrainer #6 tomorrow and #7 on Sunday.

I have used the Saunders NCLEX review book some also but have found that the questions were more knowledge based so decided to stick more with Kaplan.

I have also taken Mosby's CAT twice with a 99% probability of passing on both times I did it.

My question is......Is this good? What do you guys think????

Also, any suggestions for last minute preparations?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I finished the last of the Kaplan Qtrainers this weekend. I ended up with:

Qtrainer #6- 74

Qtrainer #7- 69

I am reviewing the rationales now and then I refuse to study or review anymore. I've done all I can do...If I don't know it by now, I'm not going to. I'm going to take your advice and spend the day tomorrow relaxing and concentrate on relaxing and knowing that I can do this. Thanks so much everyone for your support! I will let you know how it goes!!!!

I think you're doing awesome on your Kaplan tests! Making me worry a bit too because I got in the 50's on the first 3 exams. Lately in the QBank I've been getting in the 60's and 70' with a rare 50's thrown in there. Let's hope I'm ready by Thursday! Your're ready, so good luck! I know you'll do great!!

Hi, Jen

Hang in there....those Kaplan tests are wicked! As long as you read each rationale (for the ones you got right as well as the ones you got wrong), you've learned something from every question...and will be ready on Thursday!
