I am freaking out about this test and I do not even know how to better prepare.

Those of you that have already taken it, what was it mainly about? Where did most questions come from?...can you name a few categories...like assessment, delegation, infection control, fluids and electrolytes etc

Thanks so much...and congratulations to you that passed it.

You're bound from giving out that kind of information. However I will say everything is fair game and take a review course.

Buy a review book, perhaps Saunders Comprehensive Review, and start reading it from the beginning. The preface, chapter one. Everything you need to know about the test is explained in the beginning of virtually every review book out there.

You have to sign a confidential agreement when sitting the test not to discuss actual questions on the test. I would say the best thing would be check the NCSBN website as everything regarding how the test works, what is on the test etc is there

You misunderstood me. I am not asking any of you to give me the questions...that would be so wrong..I am not like that. I just wanted to know the major contents of the test. Is it more about assessment or priority etc...I do not need questions just categories.
