NLE Test-Taking Strategies 2
another techniques from mckhoii.com i want to share! have fun reading heehhe!
Caution: use these crazy techniques if you do not have any string of idea of what the question is all about. Here they are.. enjoy!
1. “always”, “never” or “all” are generalizations… so options with these words are automatically wrong because Nursing is a dynamic concept and it has a lot of EPIKIA (exemptions to the rules) so definite statements are wrong.
2. The longest answer is the correct answer. Well, you can testify to this strategy’s effectiveness. Haha!
3. If it involves values/numbers/rates/amount/weight/etc, just eliminate the highest and the lowest options then choose from the two that is left. Now you have 50% chance of getting to the right answer.
4. All of the above is correct. I don’t have to explain this.
5. Weird options that you’ve never heard are usually the correct answers.
6. The option with that speaks or represents the rest of the options is the correct answer. This is the umbrella phenomenon.
8. 2 similar options are wrong and must be eliminated.
9. Options that has the same word used in the question or has the same idea/phrase i likely the correct answer.
10. If you experience shutdown… choose letter “C”. Amongst the 4 options, it is the only option with the most correct answers as tallied from the previous board examinations. Thus, choosing this option gives you a higher probability of having chosen the right answer.
Risky? Yes… so open a book and study now!
NLE Test-taking Strategies 1
just want to share this techniques from mckhoii.com ...
As I promised, here are the most awaited Test-Taking Techniques. I would like to thank my friends who helped me formulate these techniques. I would also like to thank Sir Mark[my boss] of SLRC and those students who share the same love to nursing. Keep Reviewing guys… I know you’ll make it!
FIrst, I would like to repeat what I have said that knowledge is more important than the strategies but having both knowledge and strategy will give you an edge to pass, or even top (I don’t see why not?), the effin Nursing Licensure Examination.
1. Almost all of the questions of the board examination are new so don’t expect that you will be bumping into one like in your mock/sample examinations. That’s bullshit thinking. But take note that the question still revolves in the same concept - NURSING and NURSING only! THe members of the BON are very creative in the making of the questions so you should also have to know how to think like them in order to get a good score but I am guessing that it is going to be hard to do that. (I wonder why.. Buhahaha)
2. Too much anxiety will destroy you but mild anxiety will help. Just enjoy the examination. Why not think that amongst the thousands who took, you are the only one who actually enjoyed, instead of feared, the exam?
3. Use the technique of ELIMINATION. Identify distractors… It takes practicing tes-questions in order to master this skill.
4. Be Guided by the sequence of looking for answers. When the question asks “What nursing action…?” = ADPIE “Patients needs” = MASLOWS. If all the choices are physiologic then proceed to OFTNE (Oxygenation, Fluid, Temperature, Nutrition) or check out Abdellah’s sequence of needs. “Prioritization” = ABCDP “Nursing Intervention” = begin with independent actions then dependent or interdependent (collaborative) *** Take note that these strategies apply to most of the questions, not all. Be cautious of how the question is stated. There are exemptions to the rules. remember that. ANALYZE ANALYZE!!!
5. Your first answer is frequently the correct answer.
6. Underline the words: except, most, least, best, never, not, inappropriate, etc. These words modify the positive/negative poles of the questions.
