Hello everyone!!!

I'm finishing my per-requisites this semester and applying for the nursing program at MDC next may. I'm taking the NLN Pax RN next april. Any suggestion about study techniques. I'm a little worry specially about the vocabulary and biology questions... any help?

Thanks in advance!!!

Study the study guide basically and watch your time do some timed practice tests wish I did because I ran out of time on math portion

Get the study guide and study study study! I took the NLN twice. First time I scored in the 95th percentile and second time in the 98th. I felt like the questions were very similar to the study guide and that I would not have done as well without it. The math portion was the hardest for me. Not being able to use a calculator was difficult. The math section was the only one where I ran out of time.

For me the science portion was where I was the strongest. I was finished with A&P 1 & 2 when I took it the second time and that helped. I haven't taken physics since high school (10ish years ago) but everything I needed to know was covered in the study guide.

Stay calm, get plenty of sleep the night before the exam. And get the study guide. Did I mention that? Haha. Good luck! You will do fine! :up:

thank you for taking the time to reply. I plan on taking it on the week of the 28th if not on the 25th. I am nervous.. But ive been preparing myself to the best of my abilities & praying / staying positive. My concern is the science portion, mainly physics since i haven't taken it in so long. so I've been focusing on it for the past few days.

The tests have different questions but I remember Boyle's law, waves (wavelength/crest/trough/etc), Coulomb's law, pH scales were on my exam.
