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.

THE 6 TECHNICAL TIPS FOR THE BOARD EXAMINATION
1. Accept the fact that you can never know everything. Therefore, once you see an unfamiliar question that was never been taught, use your test taking strategies.
2. If you are in Test I, II, III, and IV and you are being asked to prioritize, Use ABC first and then Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.
3. The use of your nursing process is heralded by the word: "The Nurse Would or The nurse's initial action" Remember to Assess first before intervening. If the situation and the question already assessed the patient, then proceed with the next step.
4. Encircle your modifiers. Some people make mistakes because of failure to see the word, "EXCEPT" or "NOT" or "INAPPROPRIATE"
5. Use your questionnaires as your scratch. You can write anything on that paper. If you will skip a number, place an asterisk or encircle the number.
6. DO NOT USE BLUNT PENCIL. Always use a sharp one and shade lightly. A sharpened pencil will give a very dark shade even if you will shade it lightly. Use the sides of the pencil not the tip. Use MONGOL NUMBER 2 ONLY. Some brands especially those made in china pencils are substandard. The machine will check the lead. If you are INCONSISTENT with your shading like an altering dark and light shades, you will FAIL the boards because of technicalities.

Ang hirap talaga sa test 2. waaaaaa! Saan kayo nahirapan mga peeps?
Marami sa amin nahirapan sa Test 5.
Marami ring factors kaya di maka-concentrate- isa na yung mainit sa kwarto at masakit sa ulo.
yeah. super init talga. ang hirap nga ng test 2...
pd ba sabihin mahirap lahat... hehhehe just kidding "Nursing Informatics?" whew kasama pa talga date huh! nung tinignan ko ke kozier page 159 7th ed Black in white pa nun PC dito sa pilipinas "1992 naestablished" my Goodness grabeh si LOLA BON magtanung hehehehe
haaay nku!!!! tlaga nman mga alamat!! hehhehe.. puro nga mnagement ang tanong.. indi nga umabsent ung mgt. mula NP1 to NP5.... ang hirap i analyze ang ques. mhirap isipin ang isip ng BON....haaaayy
grrrr super frustated ako nagkamali akong shading sa test 2 aND 3..HUHU i could die
ano pa mga ibang tanong?? ano mga main focus na concept sa board last june 2008? november pa ako mag take. i've heard marami daw sa OR (periop). tulad ng ano? salamat.
Meron colostomy care, liver biopsy and positioning after procedure, yung mga research terms hindi kasing dali kasi kakalkalin mo sa situation na nilagay sa napakahaba na paragraph.
May mga questions na trivia, na ewan ko kung magagamit mo sa practice ng nursing tulad ng anong taon na-establish yung nursing informatics.
May halong madali, tulad ng anong kulay ng oxygen tank tsaka ano pinaka comfortable na pwedeng gamitin for O2 inhalation (Face Mask), meron din mga tanong sa syringe kung ano ang gagamitin mong gauge tsaka needle length.
Minsan may tanong na pag-iisipan mo saglit- yung "Tell me what happened" or "How do you feel".
Hypo/hyperkalemia tsaka significant ECG changes meron, pero unlike sa tinuro sa mga review centers about looking for changes sa U or T wave, they listed answers other than what they taught you.
Closed/Open door policies and stuff.
If you're taking the board this November, I suggest you start reading na kasi sa review, halos hindi ka na makakapagbasa.
Pag nag-exam ka na, eat light meals in between. Don't stuff yourself. Trust me, aantukin ka lalo na sa kalagitnaan ng exam.
Good luck, future RN!
naiyak ako after test 4 kasi naubusan ako ng time...andami ko pa erasures....huhuhuhu...haay naku, anyway, andami ng naturo during reviews pero andami din questions na wala dun sa choices and naituro..hmmmm...let's leave it all in God's hands...let's just rest in His promises...God bless us all na nagtake this june 08
