Canadian Practical Registered Exam

Are you using a prep guide? They usually contain good hints for being successful at the exam. Reading the questions carefully and picking out what they are really asking is very important. Try to identify which areas you are weakest in and focus on those.
I am curious as to why you say you have so much to "learn". Didn't you learn any of this in class? Studying should be review, not learning for the first time.
Best of luck.

For me the anxiety pretest made it worse... when i actually sat in may it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be... yes it was long but make sure u know ur interventions and therapeutic communication and you read the question closely... do NOT over analyze the situation...

The prep guide they do up is awesome... except i could stand a bit more on the rationale part because i could rationalize my other choices but that is because i was overanalyzing the situation...

I will be writing as well on Sept 10th. I have the study guide and I've barely looked at it

You don't "need" 80% to pass. It states in the study guide how it is graded in terms of passing or failing. My understanding is that it goes by an average.

Something like this (I think)...if the averge score among writers is 75%, then you need 75% or more to pass. If the average score is 65%, then you need 65% or more to pass. I think they do it that way so that if the test is unusually difficult and most the average person got 65%, then that is the passing grade. (Not that I think someone should be licenesed if only getting 65%!!!).

Don't quote me on this, but this is basically how it was explained to me and it does state how grading is done in the study guide, but their explanation is very long and convoluted.

The best way to prepare for this exam is to work hard at school and at clinical. Do all of your readings and do not skip class, review your notes, that kind of thing. Also use strategies for taking multiple choice exams, such as eliminating the two most wrong answers.

It could be considered misconduct if any licenced nurse were to tell what is on the exam and it changes every year anyway. Just keep going over the study guide, and really read and undertand the rationale the give you.
Best of luck.
