Nursing Tests

One good place to start is with your college. They should have a student assistance program or perhaps it is part of the counseling office. Many colleges offer classes in how to improve and become efficient in your studying. Ask your instructors, ask around. I'm sure you'll find them. The techniques they teach in these little courses are tried and true. These classes are often free or offered at a substantially reduced tuition.

One thing you should start doing with your tests is to really take a good look at why you missed particular questions. You need to figure out if it is because you just didn't know the information or if you fell prey to a sneakly little trick instructors sometimes like to put on their tests to see if students are thoroughly reading the questions before answering them. One thing that you are going to learn about college level testing is that many of the instructors design their tests to see if you are "thinking". It is not like high school where you mostly memorize and spit back facts. At a college level you are expected to know the facts and then apply them to situations. This is a testing technique that is used again and again in nursing programs. These are called application questions and are designed to test your thinking ability and your ability to apply rules to the facts of a situation you are given.
