Need some resources/study tips for my Psych/Mental Health Class?

Hi all, right now I am failing my psych course by a few points. I can pass the course if I nail at least an 80 on the next exam and the final. It's totally my fault because I bombed the second exam from a lack of studying & practicing questions. I did however notice I got a lot of the therapeutic communication questions wrong. The psych questions are very vague and subjective, but there is still a pattern to them. I just haven't figured out that pattern yet. I already have purchased Psychiatric Success and Reviews & Rationales for Psych.

I was wondering if you guys had any other resources like NCLEX style questions or YouTube videos.

Thanks again.

I follow a page on Facebook called RN pedia (all one word)and like their practice questions. They have a good bank of psych questions on their actual website. Google will take you there quickly (I tried to post the link but it didn't work...)

Good luck!

For our class we were required to purchase the Davis Success book. The questions were tough but the rationals helped explain the thinking process used for mental health questions. Here is a link to the book. Good Luck! :)

Amazon.com: Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Success: A Q&A Review Applying Critical Thinking to Test Taking (Davis's Success) (9780803629813): Cathy Melfi Curtis MSN RN-BC, Audra Baker RN PMHNP APRN ANCC, Carol Norton Tuzo MSN RN-BC: Books

Sparrow actually posted what I was going to suggest. Get the book and do the questions. They are much harder than tests you will encounter in your Psych class.
