No more reading! Questions only!!

Published

I am so fed up with reading Saunders! Every time I have a question from a section I THOROUGHLY read and took notes on, I cannot recall a specific detail for that question! What's the point then?? I completely understand now why people say 20% reading and 80% questions...I think I'm going to stick to questions only now! Sorry for the vent....I'm just so frustrated....:banghead:

if i am not feeling reading any chapters for a day, im not gonna read at all. i'll just answer questions and read the corresponding rationale. and the above mentioned 3-5 chapter is really to much. I also had a chapter a day and incorporate lacharity on it and just answwer q's.

Am I in good hands also by using Saunders and nclex questions 3500? I am hoping to test by June 2011.

just do questions! and read the rationales for EVERY one, even if you got the question right! that is how you will build your knowledge base!

I agree that now we should do more questions and read the rationals rather then keep reading the chapters. This way we will know the weak areas well. But we should always go back to chapters for our weak areas.

Best of Luck!

I know you might be so frustrated, However I would recommended you to do the saunders 4th ed pharma all , review it and do all the pharma questions, that helps me a lot since I got lot of pharma on nclex I think the more you do the pharma questions you would be more confident, I have out of 75 questions may be 35 were only from pharma and are from Board rules and regulations, I mean read the veracity, beneficience,....and so on I have one question from veracity too. and then Board of regulation questions too and then like red code yellow code or....code for high mortality , morbidity patients ,,,,sth like that kinda a question too (priority type) and difference between arteries or venous wound..and so on,,, pls review that too and I will write more on it but now review more pharma pls..and do the exam cram wonderful and helpful to me.

write you more, and goodluck
