UWorld RN prep.. Is it reliable?

[mrs.lowery22]

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 passed on my 1st attempt with 75 questions after almost 6 months since I graduated. I still had over 900 questions left in the question bank when I was done and ranked in the 72nd percentile. I did 1 assessment test right away and the 2nd the weekend before the NCLEX-RN. I scored a 68% on the 2nd assessment and the result said I had a "very high" chance of passing. The rationales are AMAZING. Honestly, I didn't review at all. I only used uworld and refreshed myself on lab values when needed. This program is definitely worth the money spent. Highly recommend.

I believe you'll be fine!! Those scores are great indicators.

Taken straight from my previous update: My uworld score before taking NCLEX was mostly mid 60s, 87th percentile.

I not only read the rationales but i wrote down most of them in a bullet point note format. Even if I thought I knew the topic well, I'd still write down something from each question I got wrong & sometimes things from the questions I got right.

I truly believe that uworld is how I passed. The NCLEX was set up identically to uworld & I felt comfortable testing because it felt familiar.

I passed first nclex try in 75 questions. The Pearson vue trick worked for me.

Congratulations on passing! Thank you. I read every single rationale too and for some things that I needed further clarification I checked Saunders. I wrote down notes and tons of flashcards. I hope I'll make it through the test and pass! :)
