Worried about NCLEX!!! Kaplan seems too hard!

Published

I am taking my NCLEX on 06/23. I have been studying for 2 1/2- 3 weeks. It's crazy I know but I have a great job waiting for me if I pass! So far here are my scores from Kaplan:

Diagnostic: 54%

Question Trainer 1: 57.3

Question Trainer 2: 61.3

Question Trainer 3: 53.0

Question Trainer 4: 63.3

Question Trainer 5: 64.0

Overall Qbank: 63.0 (All passing level questions I was told)

RN Sample Test 1: 54.0

RN Sample Test 2: 50.0(Was told by my instructor these two were made intentionally hard by marketing lol)

I heard that Kaplan is harder than the NCLEX. Please God tell me this is true LOL!

I am stressed that I am not going to pass! ARRRRGHHHHHH

So I have to ask - How many questions? And did you end up feeling Kaplan was harder than NCLEX ??

Hey Leslie! I "passed" (granted this is me just going off of the PVT) in 75 Qs. IMO, I thought that Kaplan was FAR more difficult. Don't get me wrong, today, I had some *** moments with a few of the questions, but by and large, they were fair.

Congratulations! So happy for you!

Hola Peds Hopeful! I did! And I did the Readiness Test. I got 63% on QT 6, 68% on QT 7 and 68% on the readiness exam.

Congrats on passing!!! Hope you're out celebrating!

congrats!! How did you find SATA's? I am scheduled in 2 weeks, been doing kaplan with average of 66, saving trainer 6 and 7 for next week but averaged on the other trainers from high 50's to mid 60's with a 68 on my readiness exam.

The SATAs were not that bad. Also I had about 10 out of the 75. So it was not bad at all. I had mostly the "who would you see first" type questions. Your scores look a lot like mine. I'd bet you'll have the same outcome: pass!
