Hi everyone, so I test on wednesday OMG!!!! I don't feel ready but I don't know that I'll ever feel ready so here I go.I did the kaplan qbank with an overall percent of 67%....however I don't feel like it is really accurate because it got to the point where I had seen some of the questions so many times that I knew the answer was B or C or whatever.
I recently found Uworld and wish I had found it earlier. I am a little more than 1/2 way through it, but don't really know what passing is. It will tell me what the average is and I have been higher than that every time, but sometimes not by much...like within 5-7 percent of the score! Is the average score on a uworld quiz a passing score or....?
When I was doing uworld I would usually get high 50s-low 60s. I think reviewing the rationales are really helpful . Uworld was more like the nclex , but the questions weren't that much content based . If you practice uworld and review the rationales then you will be just fine . Don't focus on your scores , focus on reviewing the questions you don't know .
I completed the UWorld question bank before testing and I was scoring anywhere from 44%-70% on the questions. I was also getting mid 60's on my Kaplan quizzes. These results worried me, however I passed the NCLEX in 75 questions, with over 3/4 of my exam being SATA. I wouldn't stress too much about your score, especially if you are above the averages on the site.
Good luck writing!
