Hello! I'm a pre-nursing student and I've pretty much got all my gen-eds done, WAHOO!! I was wondering if any had any tips on taking the NLN exam?? I did fairly well on 2/3 sections, it's just my MATH WAS HORRIBLE! I'm not a GREAT test taker, especially when it comes to math. Any thoughts/suggestions on how to do better on the MATH portion?? thank you for your time!

Do you have the NLN Study Guide? Im like you, math is not my strongest point and Im a second career student so I needed a refresher. I studied the math concepts for about 2 days to make sure I remembered how to do then. Took the NLN and passed with a 96%. I don't think the test took me over 45minutes to an hour to take...
It wasn't very difficult actually! But Im also a good standardized test taker.
I would advise looking over the book, practicing the problems and go in there relaxed. Also don't wait until the very last minute to take it!

I did the study guide over and over. I also went for math tutoring at my school. Good luck!
