tldr: how are you passing your tests?
hey, y'all. i'm coming to you dismayed after having failed a test. normally, i'm around the 77-82 range for test scores, but the last two i've taken have been abysmal. i'm frustrated because I feel like as I'm refining my technique and catering more to specifically what the teachers are telling us to study/how to study it, i'm doing worse. i don't understand what else i could be doing.
- i write and learn the LATTE method for each disease we study (what will the patient Look like, how to Assess them, Tests to anticipate, Treatment, and Education for the patient/family)
- i take as many NCLEX/kaplan exam test banks as I can find and typically do pretty well on those (high 70s)
- i have a bunch of workbooks specifically tailored for finding your mistakes on MC and SATA
- i watch youtube videos explaining disease processes
- i go to every class
- i spend about 5 hrs a day studying
what else could i be doing? are there things that have worked for y'all that you don't see listed here?
