:uhoh21: Just wondering what percentage most of you takeing practice tests have scored. I am useing the Saunders review book and CD and I am not scoring as high as I would like. So I am wondering what the average scores are, and what those of you who passed the NCLEX were scoring on most of your practice tests.
Thanks:uhoh3:

Well, I took a class where the teacher made us do 10 paractice tests a week and score at least an 80 on them before we could hand them in. When I was studying by myself before I took the NCLEX I was getting high 60's-mid 70's on the practice tests. In some areas I got REALLY low scores, so I knew to focus more on those areas. I passed with 75 questions on the first try. Good luck to you with your studying.

I haven't taken the test yet either. I usually get 7-10/10 on the quizzes and anywhere from 70-80% on the exams with Saunders. On Kaplan, I have scores ranging from 62%-75%. I usually get high Bs and As in class, so I really don't like seeing those scores.
I am hoping that the HESI test I took was correct that I have a good chance to pass. But, I am not stopping studying. I do 50-100 questions a day depending on what my 2 year old lets me get done. :)
I am interested what people were scoring who passed. Though I don't think it is the same pressure as being there test day. I am also working on ways to reduce anxiety on test day.
Thanks for the info.....Thant makes me feel better.
