What should I do?Scores in Kap qbank got lower..

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello everyone. I just finished the whole Kaplan Qbank with an overall score of 60%

Here are my scores on the Sample Tests:

1- 48%

2- 46%....... a hundred :( (sad facies)

3- 78%

What do they signify? And the strategies, I have been using them and was able to eliminate the 2 obvious wrong choices, but I always pick the wrong remaining answer. Am I stupid or what?

I am getting nervous since my exam will be next week. Sample test 1 and 2 really slapped me in the face.. lol

Please be honest with me here guys.thanks suggestions are appreciated.

No don't reschedule, just keep practicing, am sure by next week you will be good, read and listen to the rationales, have the patient right in front of you and you will be ok, prayers prayers and more prayers, good luck to all of us

Hi, I think you are on the money mate, you are doing well, I have the Kaplan book and cd and was like that when I started, two more go and you will find yourself singing the answers...I just completed the book again and I have my exams next week too...pretty sure if that's nclex then we are done....so stay confident and fingers crossed.

Thanks for the kind words. :) I only have 3 weeks left. do you think i can do much? this test really stresses me out! :cry: would you mind me asking how long have you been on Kaplan? how much time each day do you spend on it?

@ursweetpea: No need for rescheduling considering 3weeks is still a long way to go and you have the time to finish all your QT's and qbank by then. An instructor said you have to do QT 6 and 7 a few days before the NCLEX so you get used to sitting for 265 questions all in all. It's tiring and painful to the eyes if you have to sit for 265 questions but I suggest you don't do the two of them any time soon. Save it for the week before your NCLEX. Practice on your qbank everyday, do 50 or 100, whichever you feel you can do in one sitting.

goodluck to all of us:) I will be praying.. I had to reschedule because I had a bad dream last night lol.. I prayed that God give me a sign and it came out in a dream. This morning I phoned pearsonvue to have my test moved to the 24th. I have finished my qbank yesterday but man are the results in sample test 2 depressing, 46% :( I will be taking the following weeks seriously, gonna be practicing on my math, Lacharity book, Kaplan strategies, and the free QTrainers I got out of the internet.. yes, the internet! hehe you can send me a PM on how I got it.

3 weeks is a long time, u can get so much done..just study day and night and remember u can do this. After NCLEX you wont have to worry about studying like that anymore.

good luck!

LOL..sorry me2006, I guess I let ya down my friend hehe. But honestly I get these weird panic attacks when I know a big test is nearing, and I am happy that pearsonvue doesn't charge an extra fee if you reschedule. How is your review going by the way? What date do you plan on testing? Let me know..

littleone 17: YA you let me down :( but its all good!

If you didnt feel confident enough, I guess no harm (and no fees) in rescheduling.

Im still working wiht my Kaplan. I will next my exam next month in Feb, not scheduled yet but will soon.

Im worried too like you but with NCLEX you are never suppose to feel confident I guess, they dont want that.

@dallasfynest: hi there. I rescheduled my exam and pushed it to the 24th. As of now I am going over the wrong answers that I got on qbank. I am also doing the free QTrainers that Kaplan has online and I am scoring average on them,

QT 1- 56

QT 2- 61

QT 3- 58

QT 4- 64

going to be doing the remaining QT's the following week.

Gosh one more week to prepare and am planning on re-reading my Lacharity book, as well as going over cardio and neuro on Saunders because I am weak in those two areas. I will keep you guys updated here :) good luck to everyone taking the NCLEX, do not, and I repeat, do NOT go into PANIC mode before taking the Nclex, you won't be able to concentrate when you're all jittery.

at our school it was mandatory and we had to purchase it with our regular tuition for the semester. BUT I do believe that if you type in google: kaplan review course you should be able to see pull it up. =):yeah:
