Should I study Content then Questions???

I'm getting low scores on my quiz, so should I study content then questions or Study both at the same time. Im also looking for a study partner too via skype.

its probably better to do content first, make sure you read a topic even twice if you have to.....understanding the content is the key word. sometimes the way questions are asked, if you had no idea about a disease, you definitely cant answer them..some questions you can give a good guess and get it right. when you do your quiz or questions please read the rationals understanding WHY your answer was right as well as wrong. the more practice you do, the more you start becoming familiar with content as well as how to answer the questions

look out for words lie ALWAYS, NEVER, these answers are traps and should be eliminated immediately..wishing you all the best...well content still fresh in my head :) iam here if you need any help all the best

Your low scores tell you to study content first. Passing NCLEX is a balance of knowing the content and knowing how to answer the questions presented in the actual exam by practicing. I'd suggest you divide a whole content book (let's say Saunders or Hurst, etc) in a way you won't be overwhelmed. Have study breaks too so you can rest your body and mind. Best of luck!! :)
