You need to do at least 100 questions per day from the CD, and review the rationale behind every single answer. Both the correct answer that was chosen, as well as why the others were incorrect. You can learn more from studying that way. The book should be used as your resource if you do not understand something. Your focus should be on the CD and nothing else at this point.
You should not need to translate the questions into your language. You have already attended school here, etc. That may be causing you a problem as well. You need to get familiar enough with everything in English, you are not going to be able to translate back and forth in an emergency.
Which island are you from? Were you not speaking English when back home?
I work primarily with foreign nurses who never spoke English until they started working with me, and I have gotten every single one thru the exams.
Send me your e-mail address by pm and I will send you some articles that will be extremely helpful. You will pass this time, if you listen to what I am going to tell you to do.
Hello, Suzanne
Do you think the Saunders I have is good enough or should I get the newer edition? IActually what I'm doing now is hiding all the other books I have and just use Saunders as my study guide (or do you recommend another resource?). I guess last time I was overwhelmed with so much resources. I ppan on on minimizing my resource and of course I'd like to use the best one. I'm from Manila. Back home we speak English as well and I must say my English is quite good compared to others. I've been in the US for 15 years and we primarily speak English at home. I guess my weak point in English is reading comprehension or maybe it's the critical thinking I'm lacking of. I'll send you my e-mail address so we can talk more. I really need guidance and lots of encouragement at this time and I really appreciate that you are here to help.
