April 2008 NCLEX test takers, COME ON IN!

Published

Per the request of janina08 ;) I've started the April NCLEX takers support group. When do you take it? What are you using to study? Would anyone like to review any of the systems/meds that he/she feels weakest on? Let's keep each other in our prayers and good thoughts as we go through one of the biggest experiences of our lives. :) :nurse:

No question is silly!

As far as infection control, yes, that's what i'm referring to. I had lots of those questions regarding masks, gloves, gowns etc. and which patients I could safely put together.

Good luck on your test!!

Sorry to ask a silly question.... when you say infection control questions aer you referring to like TB, measeles mumps... airborne, droplet and contact precaution,.... weather to wear a mask etc....

Although I am nervous, I am actually looking forward to getting this thing over with..... I wish I never failed to begin with, but no need focusing on the past.....

I got into an argument with my husband yesterday.... i think I am just stressing out.....

(He doesn't even know that I am taking the test on Monday :doh:)... He thinks I am going to an NCLEX REVIEW SESSION.... I didn't want to tell him b/c I just don't want any unnecessary pressure or stress.... he is very supportive but I just want to keep this to myself.... :uhoh3::uhoh3:)

Anyway, I will let him know when I pass.... by the grace of GOD!:bowingpur

I am so tired... I am going to do some questions today and tomorrow... then take 2 days off!!!!

Lets see what happens this time!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

1. Knock out the stupid answers

Many multiple choice question on the NCLEX have at least one

wild-card answer that looks nothing like any of the others

and couldn't be right in a million years. Anyone that's a

little familiar with the content of the exam won't choose it.

Cross that one out first.

2. Knock out the answer that's "almost" right

Examiners know that some people will look at the question,

have a quick think and look for the answer that's in the

ball-park. That's why they include an answer choice that's

only half-right. Half-right is WRONG and it's a "trick"

answer put in to fool you. Find that answer and cross it

out next.

3. Spot two answers that look similar

By now, your options should include two choices that look

very similar. One of those answers is right. The other is

almost-right.

This is the real trick to multiple choice questions on the

NCLEX test: every right answer has a wrong answer that looks

almost exactly like it. If the answer you're thinking about

choosing doesn't have a partner like this, it's probably

wrong. When you spot two answers that look very similar, one

of them is likely to be the right one.

When you've got these two answer choices in hand, you've got

a 50 percent chance of picking the right one. And that's

already a good start. This doubles your probability of

getting the correct answer and a passing NCLEX score even

if you're not 100% prepared or know all the answers.
