Type of questions when passing on 75 QUESTIONS

Lilluv117 · Jul 17, 2008

I took my test today. It shut off at 75 q's. I had 21 SATA! (Yes, I was tallying them up!) lol. I had 2 calculations, and the rest was mostly teaching, prioritizing, cohorting patients, infection control and maybe 5 or 6 meds. I'll find out Friday if I passed. I felt good coming out of the test but now I'm starting to worry. But I keep thinking to myself, 85% of people pass on the first try! So those are some good odds. :)

Just to clarify the 3000 questions....i ONLY studied KAPLAN....i did all the q-banks, question trainers, sample N-clex tests, i went over all the questions that were practiced in class.........so roughly it came out to 3000 questions....plus kaplan has practice priority questions/delegation and select all the apply.......i took the kaplan class for 3 weeks......then i had 3 weeks to study on my own........while taking the kaplan class i read their book and then listened to all the CONTENT video to basically cover what i had read........then i would practice a q-bank.........i don't know which you should do first.....but i heard that you should do question trainers first then the q-bank.......however i did the opposite by doing q-bank and then the question trainer........just because the q-bank was broken down into sections.....while the question trainer was basically everything.....just to let you know...i didn't really do so well on the q-banks.....my scores were in the low 50's-60's.....and occasionally there were some 70's and 80's.....for the question trainers.....i did horribly on 1 to 4....but on 5, 6, and 7 i was scoring 65, 65 and 63........KAPLAN had said that if i did all the Q-bank and reviewed all the answers....then there was good chance of passing...........

seriously.........all the questions i did on q-bank and question trainer weren't really on the test........there were some that were familiar.......i think the point of kaplan is just to practice answering questions and to practice thinking critically.........i really thought Kaplan's questions were way harder than the actual NCLEX test.....which is good....

hope this helps........because obviously kaplan helped me to PASS THE NCLEX!!!!:nuke:
