Help so down and out...

[CordaeP]

Okay so now I am in my first semester of nursing school. My first exam I made a 90(B), second 78©, third 76(D). I will admit that I did not study like I should have for the second exam so really no worries there. I have been doing good in clinical. I checked off on my meds the first time. My concern is that my test grades are decreasing. This last test I studied for hours for and I felt really confident while taking the test. Then I missed 12 out of 50. My heart is really hurting because I really felt that I knew the material, but when it comes to translating the material I am struggling. Can some please give me some type of study advice,techniques, or logic?

If the answer has any words like always never then its not the answer. Also it will never be all or just on answer in select all that apply. Reword the question, take out extra info thats irrelevant, and cover the answers..try to answer it then uncover answers one by one and eliminate as you go..u will usually get it down to two answers then look at priority. .ABCs, Maslows, tube in then tubes out..etc...[/quote']

Not true. We have had a few select all that apply that is every single option and we had one that was only one answer.
