Jurisprudence exam preparation tips

Published

You have not written your registration exam yet. Or maybe you have passed your registration exam already. Or you have failed your registration exam once or twice. You are thinking about the jurisprudence exam and how best to prepare for it. and when to take.

Here are three quick tips on how to best prepare for the jurisprudence exam based on the [College of Nurses of Ontario] website:

Step 1: Visit your regulatory authority's website to learn as much as you can about the jurisprudence exam and their guidelines. Read the FAQs. Each province/territory has slightly different guidelines and fees around the jurisprudence exam. Also you may want to check out other regulatory authority's websites for more resources and tips etc.

Step 2: Look at the sample questions and the recommended study materials. This will help you to get an idea of the structure and format of the questions (what you can expect) and what materials to use to focus your studying.

Step 3: Study the Jurisprudence Exam Competencies until you know them like the back of your hand. Understanding the Jurisprudence Exam Competencies is key to doing well on the Jurisprudence Exam. Use the competencies to create a study schedule. You decide when to take your jurisprudence exam. The best time to take the jurisprudence exam is when you have done a thorough review for it and you are ready. You can write it before your registration exam, after your registration exam or between your registration exam writes. It is up to you when you write.

Hope this helps. Please let me know i:sneaky:f you have any additional questions about the jurisprudence exam. Happy to help

ADDITION: The Jurisprudence Exam is specific to each province/territory. It varies. It is not the same. They are each slightly different from each other. So if you write in one province or territory and you move to another province/territory you will have to write the jurisprudence exam for that province/territory. Having said that, use caution when reviewing other regulatory authority websites for information and study materials/resources for the jurisprudence exam as the exam varies from province and territory.

Also note, fees, number of questions on exam, number of chances to write, when you can take the exam, length of time to complete the exam, vary by province/territory. Hope this helps.
