Took the online hurst review exam and got a 55%!

cardiacnurse1 · Jul 27, 2011

So my nclex test is in 3 days, and i have been studying hurst, saunders, and my management and leadership book. I took the hurst review exam online tonight and scored a 55% out of 125 questions... Am i doomed? i'm so worried i don't know my core content enough to pass. I do ok in saunders, and my management book scores are sometimes good and sometime horrible. Everyone in my class has supposedly passed this exam so far, and i'm the last one taking it and i'm afraid i'm going to fail.

Hello - what do you think about the Hurst review? Did you use the online course?

I like the hurst review, she makes things very easy to understand. I'm still freaking out though cause i only got a a 55% on my practice exam and my test is in 3 days...

How long have you been using Hurst? Have you given yourself enough time to learn the core content? Another possibility is nerves with your test date being so soon; I noticed that my practice test scores were a bit lower than usual a few days before the exam, and it wasn't because I didn't know the info, it was because I was a nervous wreck about my upcoming NCLEX.

well my practice test scores are up and down, and some tests i do better on than others. this was my first hurst test. i'm going to take another one today.

hello,

I took the Hurst review and when I first started studying I took the practice exam and got 50% then reviewed everything and took another practice test and got a 60%. I only took 2, always meaning to do more but didn't have time. I passed NCLEX with 88ish questions.

I did the kaplan practice exam on a cd-rom that came with my kaplan strategies book and i got a 71% on that. anyone know if that's considered good??! i'm like freaking out, i take my nclex next week

Zigy1983 · Jul 28, 2011

Stop thinking about percentages, instead evaluate your knowledge of the material. If you think you need more time to prepare, then consider rescheduling. Otherwise, good luck on test day.
