Key to being successful on nursing tests is to be prepared. One way to prepare is to use EAQ or Prep-U. Evidence shows that practice retrieving information results in better test scores. Quizzes require you to recall information to answer questions (the very same is true for the test). Use EAQ or Prep-U every day. Set a goal of 25 questions a day for each nursing course. Challenge yourself to increase your level of competency.
You have paid for these quizzing products. Use them. They can help you identify areas where you are having difficulty. You can use this information to plan your study sessions.
For each question, paraphrase the stem, identify key words, eliminate options, re-read the stem and identify reason/rationale for each remaining answer, then select your answer. The answers are at the bottom. It is OK if you don't know the content. It is just getting practice answering these types of questions that will help.
