If you know the material you should be able to identify the correct answer. The best way to prepare is to learn the material. The prioritization book by Linda LaCharity is also a good resource that many people find to be very helpful.

Hi,
Have you actually gotten results from your 1st attempt?
For SATA type questions, I had difficulty also, but just take your time and look at each option. Approach each option in a True/False statement and see if that helps. For meds, its very difficult to know every single medication and every side effect with that med. Try and learn the classifications and know that most drugs are excreted by the kidney or metabolized by the liver (so 2 side effects can be nephrotoxic or hepatotoxic). Try and learn the suffixes to the classifications and learn the side effects for that classification. Hope this helps. If you have not gotten official results then wait till you get them, otherwise make a study schedule and stick with it. It will help. :)
