Enterance Exam Study Help

whether you are doing teas, hesi or another enterance exam they all have similar questions. so i thought it would be nice to start a thread about study tricks or reminders for learning material.

i am trying to memorize conversion charts. so i came up with a cute little version of the song how much is that puppy in the window. :heartbeat

1 gallon is 4 quarts in my refrigerator (how much is that doggy in the window)

1 gallon is 128 ounces (the one with the waggley tail)

1 quart is 2 pints & 1 pint is 2 cups (how much is that doggy in the window)

1 cup is 8 ounces (i do hope that doggies for sale)

i cant figure anything out for memorizing

1 kilogram = 1,000 grams

1 gram = 1,000 milligrams

1 liter = 1,000 milliliters

oh here is another one

conversion formula for temperature (this is from my lpn book)

to convert from f to c

f - 32 divided by 1.8 = c

convert from c to f

(1.8 x c) + 32 = f

military time conversions

if under 9 am add a 0 to the front

if over 1 pm

add 12 to the time and there ya go!!!!

exception midnight 2400 or 0000 depending on the book or person or whatever

noon - 1200

anyone have any other suggestions or tips they use to memorize this stuff? songs, rhymes, silly sentences, etc. anything helps!!!!
