I just started reviewing last week, still trying to embrace the fact that I'm reviewing again after 4 years of trying and failing the exam 3x. I want to make sure this time is the final
one so I filed a vacation from work so I can focus. I just don't know if my technique is
okay. Btw, I'm using Saunders compre and Q&A .. what I'm doing is I'm answering the Q&A and focusing on a certain topic, for example for 4 days I will be answering Q's about Cardio
then the next 4 days will be Respi and so on. I divided the total number of Q's from Saunders (Q&A CD) to the days I think I can finish the topic, I just make sure I can answer 100 to 180 Q's max per day then the remaining hours of my day I'm to read the Compre book.
Do you guys think this is okay or I'm spending a lot of time in one topic?
Saunders is great no doubt for content. But it lacks the type of critical thinking questions the NCLEX asks. You might know your content but you might not be able to implement it if you don't practice breaking down the questions. Probably sound confusing but if you see the type of questions NCLEX asks, you'll see what I mean.
I did Saunders the first time and I failed. I wasn't prepared with the right test taking strategies required to pass.
I suggest doing a Kaplan review course. Which I'm doing right now! :)
I will try kaplan Q and A's do they have that? I mean just that?
