well its hard to count how many I just know its more than 1000. I make sure I read the rationales to them wether I get it wrong or not. That helps to build more knowledge than you had before the question you just answered. I do alot of the quizzes and then some of the 100 test exams. So far Ive done 3 100 of the exams. It is hard to do them all the time. When you know you are good enough alert, do them. You get tired if you arn't. This is my second time takin it and I am doing better at answering the questions and getting more right than wrong. That's what they and you want. I have a better understanding I feel at answering them. You have to read the question, then the answer and then read the question again. Apply the strategies of answering the question like Prioritizing, using the Nsg Diagnosis...and then start eliminating to choose the BEST answer. Think like a nurse and put yourself in that situation the question is asking. Relax and take deep breaths and give it yourall. I hope this helps. After the second test, I let about a few months in between. My upcoming test in a week and a 1/2. My stomach is starting to get quezzy some when I think of it. My friends when they are around for support and it helps when having negative thoughts some. We all go through it. After you take the test its still bad cause of the waiting process. Yikes. I've got to come up with something to not think of the results during that time. Hmm
Would you like to comment?
