As the title implies ; I am a terrible test taker. I always received either the worst or second worse scores on exams in my cohort in all subjects. I am freakingggg outttt for the NCLEX (First timer). I am studying UWorld and although my exam scores are increasing, there are just some questions where I feel like in the end of the day, you need KNOWLEDGE for inorder to get them correct. It's NOT about if you're good at eliminating or not. But maybe I am wrong??

I just want to have accurate expectations of what I am walking into. I am studying ALL the UWorld questions and will put in all the work. But for example on the NCLEX if I get medications I've never heard of in my life or diseases I've never heard of or studied for-- chances are high I will get MOST of them wrong. It's just how I am.

Did you get a lot of content that you NEVER saw on UWorld?

My fellow bad exam takers out there-- what studying techniques helped you pass this exam? All I hear people say all the time is UWorld. I don't want to overwhelm myself by using a lot of different resources, but if you have any suggestions where you think they were extremely beneficial in helping you pass this exam, then please let me know! ? The only other thing I used besides UWorld is that I listened to all the Mark K audios. I don't get the big hype about the guy-- is he helping me nail SOME of the practice questions? ABSOLUTELY. But it would never be enough for me to PASS bc of his audios or advice if that makes sense LOL

Thank you very muchhhhh!! ?
