What to look for in my first exam

Published

I am in my first semester of nursing. I was just wondering if anyone have anything specific that i should focus on for the exam. My first exam is tomorrow and i am trying not be nervous but its very hard. I am managing right now hopefully a good nights rest will do the trick for tomorrow morning. I am trying to study the specifics as opposed to everything i read. Any suggestions before i be put to the ultimate test tomorrow.

Thanking everyone in advance for any comments

Do you usual, successful studying routine and take the test. You really won't know exactly what to study for in any class until you take the first test/quiz and get an idea of what your instructor wants you to know. You don't need to ace your first test, you just need to not suck.

Just take your time with the questions and try to relate them to what you've learned so far. With nursing it's not so much memorization anymore, it's putting into practice what you've learned through application. So some of your questions may be scenarios related to the content you've learned so far. Be careful about second guessing yourself - I've missed questions before because I went back and erased my answer only to find out my first impulse was correct!

Good luck! :)
