UWorld RN prep.. Is it reliable?

Published

I am scheduled to take the NCLEX-RN on June 28th, 2016.

I'm freaking out and wanting your opinion.

I completed the Kaplan live review & 60% of the qbank with an average score of 71.

I completed the Hurst live review and completed the specialty topics in the book on my own. I have reviewed the entire Hurst book once more, and wrote down the things I felt I needed to be stronger with.

Now, I have purchased UWorld and taking about 100 questions a day/5 days a week. I am scoring mostly mid-60s, my low being a 55 and my high being a 68. UWorld says I'm in the 85th percentile compared to the average.

I am not sure if I should feel confident with this or if UWorld simply is leading me to be more confident than I should be... and I am not as prepared as I need to be.

What do y'all think about UWorld?

Should I continue my study plan with it or integrate Kaplan/Hurst back into the plan?

I did about 1400 questions on UWorld before my NCLEX and had a 59% (78th percentile) overall and passed in 75 questions. I also used the NCLEX mastery app and read the 35 page guide. Good luck next week!

I have now completed 1,028 out of the 1,905 questions on UWorld, 60.4% correct and in the 80th percentile.

I'm slowing down on my studying, and plan to only do 75 questions tomorrow and review the 35 page guide that everyone talks about.. Then a pedicure and relaxing before the test Tuesday at 1pm!

Test day, I only plan to review lab values. Wish me luck, y'all! It's getting close!

Good luck, you got this

Alright guys! Here's where I stand AFTER my NCLEX this afternoon!

Before my exam, I had completed 1,124 of the 1,914 questions on UWorld. My results: 60.5% correct in the 80th percentile.

My NCLEX shut off at 75 questions after 1.5 hours of testing. I had 18 select all that apply, a ton of priority questions overall. No hot spots, no drag & drop, no math.

Pearson Vue Trick currently says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Another registration cannot be made at this time."... The good pop up!

I will keep you all updated. Fingers crossed and lots of prayers!

I took my test today and also shut off at 75 questions and when I went home and tried PVT I got the good pop up too. My only source for studying was NCLEX

My license posted today. PVT works and I recommend uworld. All my classmates that used uworld are passing too. To future testers: you need to read the rationales (take notes if possible) in order to be successful with uworld. Good luck everyone.
