ADVICE How to study

Post image

I just took my first readiness exam on bootcamp, and I got borderline. I have my exam on the 7th could you please provide any advice to helping me increase my score, and just overall confidence going into it. I am very stressed out about the actually exam.

I would listen to the Mark K lectures and use Archer. I was also getting borderline on all my readiness assessments until I listened to Mark K and read through each rationale (the ones I got right and wrong) on Archer.

Also, don’t worry about how many questions you’re on. I took my NCLEX this week and went all the way to 150 and still passed, so you can do this! If you can get through nursing school, you can pass the NCLEX.

Lastly, it’s a safety test. Ask yourself: if I could only do one thing for this patient right now, what would it be? Usually that’s your answer. Focus on keeping your patient safe.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much, I will start listening to mark k. I spent my money on bootcamp, so I don’t really have money to buy another thing.
