Depressed and studying my butt off.

I did HORRIBLE on my exit Hesi, I retake it on Thurs. My teacher suggested to do 100 questions a day but do them in small blocks and make sure I understand the rationales of the ones I get wrong. She also suggested for me to concentrate questions from the print out of my Hesi and do most of my questions on the subjects I did bad on.

So that's what I have been doing. I have not gone back into my textbooks yet on my bad subjects.

I am not sure if it is better just to keep doing questions or do questions and go back into textbooks on my bad subjects. I am improving my scores, I have been doing Saunders 4th CD also Davis (teacher likes that one the best), and Lippencott too. Just to get a range of different questions.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks

It sounds to me like your doing everything right, you know your self and what works for you study wise.

I did not use txt books while preparing for boards. I took all the ATI (our school bought us the pkg) content area test: Neuro/muscoskelatal/endo/etc etc etc and wrote down all my scores, personally I scored lowest in the muscoskelatal so that is where I began my practice questions, I did the Saunders 100 point test on the topic as well as targeted my Davis(my personal favorite as well--and what I believe helped me pass Nclex) disk towards muscoskelatal. Then I retook the ATI test to see if my score improved. Then I moved onto my next lowest score.

I also did small chunks of tests, for me 20 questions at a time was perfect. I am sort of ADDish and cant sit still for long so seeing the score so quickly helped me stay motivated, I would take 20questions tests over and over and over. I read all 4 of the rationals.

Best of luck to you. I really believe the anxiety is worse than the actual test and you know the material, you graduated and that alone is a great accomplishment. You can do it, just stay on track and do what works best for you!!!
