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

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.

How's it going guys? I'm doing QT 6 today after I finish up the On Demand for the rest of pharm. The big day is getting close!

Good luck guys, relax if you guys can. I will be praying for us:)

Wahoo, great job! I just finished up #6 and boy did my brain hurt after that--64.5%. Good luck, enjoy your weekend. Keep us posted!

:D

YDRussell, I also been in my 50's in my Q1,3,4,5 and 62 in my Q2 and 60 in my Q6 wanna aim higher for my Q7 but after i practice more qbank questions. I like the fact that they are 50 questions the Qtrainers are really long my brain gets tired. Good luck girl.

Thank you!!! Yes, my thinking has gotten so much better now that I have really plowed through the Qbank. Trainer 5, I got a 69%. I'm waiting to take #7 on Sunday or Monday then it will be go time soon thereafter. I'm kind of nervous b/c I've read about people doing well on Kaplan and then not passing NCLEX...huge fear that I have. UGGGGH.

Let's remain positive, for every person that failed NCLEX after taking Kaplan, there are 100 that passed taking Kaplan, so I think we will all be ok.

My scores have been:

Q1: 61

Q2: 51

Q3: 51

Q4: 63

Q5: 54

I've been trying to study the content in my areas but I test next Saturday and don't know if I can cram it all in by that time. I really like the qbanks since they are only 50 questions at a time but I do plan to complete qtrainer 6 & 7 by next Thursday. I will try my best to only rest on Friday. We can do this guys, God has brought us this far and we will succeed!

ok my update!

qt # 5 got a 58% (boo)

qt # 6 got a 68% (yaayyyaaa) i remember them saying during the class that question trainer 6 & 7 are the most predictable of how you will do on nclex and you want at least a 60% on 6 & 7.

i am going to finish up qt 7 tom and then just do q banks (which i think are harder for some reason) until i test. where ever i still feel weak at i am going to find those sections in the book and review.

we are all gonna do great we just have to remain positive...dont read into what others say about failing the nclex because who knows they could just have really bad test anxiety or a million other things to cause them to do bad.

I so much rather do Qbank than the QT, I get way too zoned out sitting there for such a long time. I just chalk it up to clinically undiagnosed ADD! When are you testing ladybug?

Good luck, you've got this! I feel guilty, I took the day off from studying or doing any questions. My brain needed the breather. Let's keep each other posted. I test soon, but don't want to disclose my date b/c my name and picture are a complete give away if any of my classmates are on here, LOL!

Hi guys, how's everything going? Just wanted to let you know I will be taking the exam in 2 days.. I just arrived here in the capital city where my test will be taking place. I had to travel early because I live 6 hours away from the testing site, and there is only one testing site here in the Philippines. hehe man are the anxieties starting to kick in. Would you guys recommend any last-minute review or something? Any tips will be appreciated.

Even though I do have the jitterbugs, I can say that I am waaay more positive now than I was the last time I took it. I had a panic attack the first time and it didn't do me good... I went blank on the test, and all the lab values that I mastered the first time went blank during the test I clicked that mouse away :(. Now I feel what most people feel right now, "It's just another test. Gotta treat it like another Kaplan qbank session, hehe"

God Bless guys. Pray for me please, I will be doing the same:)

Good luck! You can do this, can't wait to hear about your experience. Just remember to take big deep breaths.
