Hello all!
I am taking the NCLEX-RN in a week and I am so nervous! Does anyone have any personal experience with their school performance and kaplan scores in regards to how well they did on the NCLEX? I was an A/B student, and my kaplan qtrainer/qbank scores are about a 65% average, some lower, some higher. I have been studying my rear off, but still somehow doesn't seem to ease the test nerves! Maybe I just need a boost of confidence. Anyway, how did all of you NCLEX passers do on kaplan/school? Thanks!!

I also made As and Bs and my Kaplan QBank average was a 63%... I feel relatively ready!

Mine were in the 60-70% range as well and I passed with 75 questions. You guys can do it! I honestly thought sometimes the Kaplan questions were harder than the actual test questions, too.... Way more detailed and specific. My strategy in the exam was to stay as calm as possible and to make sure each answer chosen was ultimately safe for the patient. If I just flat out didn't know the answer, I took an educated guess and moved on... Agonizing over the question for ten minutes didn't help me answer it plus it made me lose momentum and confidence. Good luck!! :)
Just an update even though this is like 2 years later! Lol I did end up passing with 75 questions! Just in case any one else is about to take the NCLEX and was as nervous as me! You can do it!!
