Hey everyone !! I'm scheduled to take NCLEX tomorrow & freaking out - Ive changed the date back and forth three times already - anyhow I took U Worlds Predictor & received "Very High" chances of passing NCLEX. My percentile score though was only 60th - In the Q banks I am in the 80th although I don't know how as I have been averaging about 58%-68% on each individual 75 Q exam.
I was just wondering if anyone that used U World could tell me if this was in any way a good indicator if I am ready to take NCLEX or not? If not I need to change the date again- I cant afford to fail this thing!!
Thank a bunch !!

None of us here will be able to give you a response with certainty if that predictor gives a 'good indicator' if you will pass the NCLEX. Obviously it is only a predictor and it appears that you have scored highly to determine just that.
I took those assessment exams (#1 & 2) and passed both with "very high chance of passing" and indeed I passed my NCLEX on the first time.
However, I have heard stories here who have had "very high chances" and unfortunately did not pass, whereas the opposite has been true as well where some didn't get a favorable chance of passing but still passed the NCLEX. I'm not trying to say that the UWorld predictor is unreliable, it's just the reality of these things just present a dichotomous scenario that is solely to that individual.
In the end of the day, no one should ever feel too confident that they "know everything"; I think in my opinion, it is a normal feeling to never feel prepared for the NCLEX.
If you have studied well and feel confident enough in your core information, I do suggest you take the exam. Prolonging your exam can be a bad thing simply because more days will past from the last time you reviewed particular content-- to which you may forget. It doesn't matter what your percentages are, just know the rationales! Good luck!
Thanks ! I did take it yesterday, was cut off @ 75. I felt horrible when I walked out . I did the PVT & got the good pop up ! I can access the Quick results tomorrow . U world prepared me well !
