Your sample question shows the importance of practicing questions. As I read ur post I knew it was the patient with the rash BC when I was studying for the nclex I learned from reading the rationales that chest rash and fracture = fat emboli. I also was not aware of this before I had the question. If u knew this then ABCs would apply to this question. I suggest you keep practicing priority questions which will also help with content if you are reviewing rationales.

I would recommend practicing more questions. It is important to get used to the nclex style questions. It took me 3 months to get my att so my studying was off and on during that time but I did at least 5000 questions before my test. Aside from reviewing the rationales from all the questions I did, the only content I studied was labs and my weak areas ob and PEDs. If u feel weak in content work on that but if not use your study time to practice more questions. Good luck you can do it.

I think it is important to identify your weaknesses and work on them. Make sure you are practicing nclex style questions. When you review the questions you missed identify if it is due to you being weak in content or strategy. Then find a resource that will help you with it. Also make sure to review the rationale to answers you got right. Practice lots and lots of questions. Good luck, you can pass this test!
