Hi, I'm new to the forums and I wish you all a great day. I've been to nursing school for a month and a half now and I'm loving it. I just made it through a 1 month intense introduction to the program class. It's when students have to get 75% or above to proceed to the next term. My final grade was 95% and I'm really happy about that. A few students have been cut because they failed to get at least 75% overall. Back to the topic, so right now, we're on the fundamentals of nursing. I took my very first FON exam last week and received the results this week. I was shocked for getting a 66% and the passing grade is 80%. I still have 7-8 tests left but I'm really upset and a little bit depressed. I studied my *** off to prepare for the exam but surprisingly the exam was NCLEX based so there were only about 5 questions on the exam that were from the FON book. I read 5 chapters over and over again and I thought I had it on LOCK but when I took the test it just confused me. We have the NCLEX-PN book but we never opened it. I know I'm not slacking because on I always get an A on random pop quizzes because the quizzes come from the FON book and I study that a lot. But the only problem is only 10% of our grade are based on the quizzes. 50% of our final grade are based on the weekly exams so I'm really stressed out right now and I know I need to change my study method but I just don't know how. I need a really good advice. My FON class is 4 hours 3 days a week and we have 5 quizzes every week and a test every week. I really have no problem on the quizzes but I'm in need on study tips. Thank you very much!
