This is kinda unrelated to my Original post but just wanted to shout out that : I passed my exam ! Just got my grade 10 minutes ago. I have two more exams, two more careplans, a pop quiz, 4 more weekends of clinical, and one more paper before I graduate in 6 weeks. Whoo hoo ! I can finally see the light.
I never had "gimme" answers like that on any of my exams. Kinda defeats the purpose.
I disagree. Its not like all three choices were gimme answers. Some questions I can automatically eliminate one or two, then there are some where all 4 answers look either all right or all wrong. I think its just comical. I just hope you are not implying that our test questions are easy. If thats the case ask those who failed this exam.
I had one for Microbiology --
Which is not used to describe bacteria?....
and the correct answer was .....
wait for it........
TASTE ................. :barf01:
You could tell how far along on the test thyat every person was based on the giggles, snickers and gags sounding off throughout the room. :lol_hitti
On a couple of exams we had a gimme, but I am not sure if they accepted any answer. The question was either, "This class has been..." or "Such and such instructor is..."
I wondered if the people who really didn't like the class or instructor went out on a limb and I never did find out if they accepted all answers as correct or threw out the question or what.
Congrats on being almost done!!!
ME TOO. 2 weekly evals, 1 preplan, 1 care plan, 4 tests one final, 2 clinical logs, another 150 hours of clinical and in 8 short weeks I am done. Gee it sounds like more when I spell it all out and then remember the additional 8 online tests and two ATIs, but after 3.5 years I feel like I can hold my breath for 2 months.
It was just before Christmas, and we were working on our micro final. You could have heard a pin drop. All heads down, frantic scribbling going on, agonized expressions. You get the picture. At the end of the exam and bottom of the page was a bonus question. "Identify the components of this diagram." Oh boy! Not another "which microbe is this" question! Nope. Turned the page and there staring at me was a large circle (the dish) with 8 identical line drawings inside. They were reindeer. LOL! I drew our wonderful teacher a big smiley face, named Rudolph and Prancer and then started naming dwarfs.

today during the exam some us students actually laugh out loud due to this one exam question. here's the question: patient just received postive hiv results from a oraquick test, what should the nurse advise the pt. to do ? one of the answers was advise the patient to make funeral arrangements. ofcourse this was not the correct answer but i sure hope no one picked this one !
another lol question i had a couple of semesters ago was : what clinical manifestation would a person with diabetes have ? one of the answers was " polythirstia" i was hoping no one got that one wrong either... but sure enough someone picked polythirstia instead of polydipsia !
have you ever had a lol test question.
