I just need to vent. I am at a loss on how to study for one of my nursing classes. I have just finished taking my second exam in the class and I don't think I did very well on it. The test consisted of 2 essay question - totally unrelated to anything we covered in class and a 15 multiple choice questions that were somewhat related to what we covered in class. We did get a study guide from our instructor but it covered almost 20 chapters and ended up being 40 pages long when I completed it. I know it was nice of my instructor to give us a study guide but when it doesn't even relate to what is on the test I feel that it is actually detrimental. But I really don't know what to do to improve my grades in this class, so I keep doing the study guides.
I did go speak with my instructor after the first exam but she did not offer any study tips. I really don't know what else to do. I am passing my other 4 classes all with A's but I can't get a passing grade on any of the exams in this class.
This exam I read and outlined all of the chapters, did all of the questions at the end of each chapter, did the questions on the CD that came with the book, and did the posted study guide. Too bad nothing I studied was actually on the test
I am not alone either most of my class is in the same situation. Does anyone have any advice for me?
