Thinking about rescheduling the NCLEX

Published

Hi~

Im schedule to take the nclex on sept 23 but I'm having doubts. I've been only getting 50-60 percent on the kaplan practice test and 60+% on the saunders book. Would it better to move the test a week later to sept 30th?

Only you know what is best. If you feel you need more time, take it. If you are scoring 60 and above on kaplan than you are ready. The highest that I ever got on Kaplan was a 64. I got between 59-64. Up until I took the boards. Saunders is the best to me.

There's a difference between feeling that you are not really ready to take this test, yet you score high on the pre-tests; that is different from feeling like you aren't ready and you are scoring lower on the pretests. If it doesn't cost you anything, I would go ahead and reschedule. I believe that would beat going in there, not passing THEN waiting 90 days to retake and paying all over again. Plus is you are working as a GN, you have to step down to a CNA.

To me, I see that as being your best option. Good luck to you whatever you decide.
