Getting discouraged studying...

Published

I've got the Kaplan and Saunders review for NCLEX RN. These books may as well have been written in Portuguese. Out of 125 I've done in the Kaplan book, I've gotten, like 67 correct.

I'm supposed to take the test in mid April. I'm wondering if I should just go over the questions time and again and expect something to eventually click?

Don't worry. Just keep doing those questions and over time, it will all come together. I really only did questions when studying for my N-CLEX - I didn't review much in the books at all unless I totally forgot something important. But as I did more and more questions, and read their rationales (that's important for both questions you get wrong AND right), it got much clearer to me. Just keep doing about 100 questions a day. You will do fine!

hi! yeah i am the same, i easily get discouraged with my incorrect answers but i try to remember that practice makes perfect, so keep at it. when i do get something wrong i am more likely to remember that than the ones that i get right, so thats a positive thing. it will come together soon.
