Help with dosage calculations?

Hi (sorry for so many posts!)

I'm not in nursing school yet but hoping to apply for the upcoming year. I'm a little concerned because the school I want to attend requires us to take an exam (not the TEAS) that has a few questions about dosage on it.

I sort of assumed that this is something we'd learn while we were IN school, not need to know beforehand.

Do you guys know of any online resources or places where I can learn/practice dosage calculation, as I have literally 0 experience and knowledge of this?

Thanks!!

    If your exam has a specific name (e.g. HESI), then I would recommend seeing if there is a study guide or manual available that can help guide your studying. If not, I used this website once: DosageHelp.com - Helping Nursing Students Learn Dosage Calculations - Dosage Question Steps

    In all honesty, dosage calculations are really just metric conversions and dimensional analysis from chemistry. I would recommend just making sure you have these mastered for that portion.
