Weakness and Strengths

[khaleesi123]

How do you really know what are your strengths and weaknesses? I'm Taking Kaplan now and they graph how well you did on each components after each exam. I made a chart to determine mine. I already finished the QT trainers, Dx and the readiness. But I had different results everytime. For example, in QT 1, I got the highest grade on basic care and comfort but it was also my lowest in QT 5 and so so.. They say to concentrate on your weakness first but what if you don't know what is you weakness? I really need all the help I can get. I've always mentioned here on how I failed twice. I wanna pass on my 3rd attempt this February. I also made another thread regarding my score on Kaplan.

I was in a similar boat with kaplan - my scores were up and down on various sections depending on the test. There was one area that was consistently weak so I listened to their content lecture on that. Otherwise, I just noticed what topics I had trouble with, like tractions, central lines, certain pharm classes, and read up on those topics in a more targeted way.

The same thing happens to me. I may do really well on one section in a test, then do really bad on the next test. I think its important to look at how many questions did you get from a certain area and go from there. If you got 30% on basic care and comfort, but it was only 10 questions, then this isn't much of a score. If you're consistently getting low scores on some areas when a lot of questions are given, I would focus on that (does that make sense??)
