So I have been studying for the reproduction test since beginning of January and wanted to take the test before February began.... (ugh!) I work 40 hrs a week and study til 12 t0 1 am only to get up at 5a and do it all over. So I am not on schedule, but I keep taking notes and wondering- is this test possible with SOOO much info?? As a mom of 2 you'd think you would know more, but who says "Hey here's the _____ sign!" while pregnant!
I have 2 notebooks of notes that I have written so far and am so few pages from being done with the third. I also have SG101 notes that I use as a guide and research on my own. I have L.Arends as well but do not use nearly. I am feeling so overwhelmed and this is one of four tests I have left. I am hoping for beginning of may to be done, but the way repro info/studying is going I have no clue.....
Guess I am just ranting really.... I know others have been here too. Thanks for "listening"! I appreciate all of you guys!!!
can i ask what others made on their practice tests?? tia
i studied repro for about 2 weeks. i was scared of this test because i didn't do so well in ob rotation in lpn school maybe because i was a guy and this subject did not interest me.
anyway, the questions were not tricky at all. my practice scores were 62(a) and 61(b). i used sg101 and saunders nclex. sg101 had so many extra congenital diseases that i didn't use it and what i did was look up all the congenital diseases mentioned in the practice exams and looked them up in my lpn peds book.
i believe the questions on the practice exams were very similar in the actual exam. so memorize everything in practice exams including the rationales.
Can I ask what others made on their practice tests?? TIA
I really can't remember to tell you the truth....I can tell you that there were some practice tests that I would score in the 50's or 60's, but would still pass the actual test. That just meant I had to study a little more because I had rushed into the practice test. The practice tests are great. Study the material you got wrong OVER and OVER! Also, go over the practice test itself over and over again, because you may get the same questions on your test :) Not that you should count on that, just saying.... Good luck!
