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.
