Study Strategy Anyone?

Published

I am feeling so confused. I completed the Kaplan course and still feel as if I really don't have a study strategy. Should I start studying content or go straight to practice questions? I am very confused as to what would be more

beneficial. I feel as if my content is weak but should I focus more on questions?? Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Same feelings as I had before I took my NCLEX. I don't know if you will ever feel satisfied. Just keep doing what you can and do a lot of paractice questions. I think you should do at least 3000 questions before you take NCLEX. Good luck.

I took the Kaplan course...my stratgey was review the content in their study book and do as many questions as possible! I think i end up with only like 100 questions I hadn't answered in the test bank. Know your opposites like Hyper and Hypo...if you know one then you can rule out the symptoms. Follow the rules they taught you in class and remember to BREATHE! As my instructor said it's minimum competency..you know this stuff! Believe me I just passed the NCLEX on my 2nd try in November 2009 and it had been 2 years since I graduated from nursing school. You can do it and GOOD LUCK!!

At this point I would start in doing questions and studying the rationales. If you run into something you don't understand or can't remember, you can refer back to your reference to study up on it.
