I read until I understand what the subject is talking about. I basically read to get a understanding of the material. There is so much to read that I can't afford to slowly capture all the points of the subject matter. I highlight what I think is important, obviously I am highlighting the wrong information. I truly am lost here. Funny thing is, I have no problem with dimensional analysis exams or when I was taking the prerequisite chemistry, anatomy, and biology classes; I was making B's and A's in those subjects. It's the nursing questions, they seem so easy when I'm reading them, but I end up choosing the wrong answer. Thanks for the advice. I don't believe I read into the question, but maybe I do. Maybe my pathology is weak. I did have trouble in that class along with Med-Surge, but then again when I took anatomy I didn't find it as difficult. Then again, the anatomy that I took, which was the prerequisite class for nursing didn't have critical thinking questions, it was more black and white thinking. Anymore advice would be great.

I'm in my 5th semester of my BS program and one would think that everything should be clicking by now, it's not. I'm really frustrated because I just took my first OB exam and I got a 74, 75 is passing, and I swear I studied, every single day. I manged to read the four chapters the exam was based on twice, I even read the Test for Success Book questions. I felt prepared for the exam. Even when I finished the exam I felt comfortable. The grades were posted today and I am truly ******! My two friends who crammed over the weekend ended up with a B on the exam and they always say the same thing to me after the exam, "I failed the test, I marked 15 questions I wasn't sure about", and they always end up with a B or better. Meanwhile here I am busting my butt and I can't even make a B. I asked them for help, but they say they just pick what they think is correct, they have no advice for me. This has been going on since I began the program. I am truly frustrated and angry. I truly felt like giving up. I think to myself what's the point of studying so hard for and I can't even make a B on my exams. I know it's the way the questions are asked, the critically thinking questions, what am I doing wrong I wonder. Can anyone please advice me a way to become a better test taker when it comes to these critical thinking question. Is their a book out there that can help? Thanks in advance.
