Me! Its September 19. :uhoh3:

I got an 86 yesterday on my first test. I was really hoping for an A, but now I have a better idea of test format and will hopefully do better on the next one!

I am...for the most part, but it's just test anxiety for me, it comes almost natural. I tend to freak out before every test...especially the first one in each class, no matter how much I prep. I already had my Psych test and aced it, but only because it was easy...I'm just ready to get this A&P test and see what damage I do on it! ...This Friday = 1st test, and it's 3 chapters. :eek:

Yep, the first one of the semester is always a doozy. How does the teacher write them? Does the lecture really reflect the knowledge we need for the test? Are they going to be written poorly so it's hard to tell what the questions actually ask? DID I STUDY ENOUGH?? :uhoh3:

I just had my first test. I am still shaking I did very well. Not sure the exact grade but it's an A!!! I can't believe it... I'm on cloud nine, now onto more studying....

My first exam is on the 14th. I was nervous a few days ago, but I have found a better study method, so I'm not really nervous about it anymore. I wish you all the best of luck on your exams:)

Wow I had my SECOND exam today, and we've already had our pharmacological math test as well. We have our third test and our clinical readiness exam next week. It has been test after test for us!!

And? How do you think you did? Or do you do them online and find out right away?

We have to wait a week...so I won't know how I did until wednesday...normally we get the results online within 2-3days, but I think I at least got a passing grade!

Questions questions questions. oh did I say questions!?!?! As a RN, preparing for test in nursing school was very difficult, I must say. But please do as many questions as you can in regards to the subject and topic you are studying. the saunders comprehensive nclex book is a great holy bible during nursing school. Do as many as you can ladies and gents. Good luck.

Me! Its September 19. :uhoh3:

So is mine. My first major exam anyway.

I've already had a lab quiz - got 90% on that, so, so far so good. I'm currently studying for my first lecture exam though. The biggie. I'm annoyed because a lot of it is on the history and legal aspects of nursing, and tbh, it bores me to tears. I'm here for the science!
