Yeeeeaahhh.. nursing school was a lot harder than I thought it would be.⁣ ⁣ Here are some tips when it comes to answering multiple choice test questions⁣ ⁣⁣ Please please please read the question slowly and in its entirety.. a lot of the time, the reason for getting a question wrong is because you didn’t fully read the question - I’ve been there and you honestly just want to slap yourself⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Along with that - read the answers entirely. One small word can make a huge difference⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If 2 options are the opposite of each other...⁣⁣ 1 of those is probably the correct answer⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If 2 options are similar to each other/essentially saying the same thing...⁣⁣ Neither of them are probably the answer⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If all 4 options seem like they’re all saying the same thing...⁣⁣ Try to find one option that’s an “umbrella option” - basically covers all answers in one⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Options that include “absolute terms” like never, always, must, every, none, etc. usually aren’t correct⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Always assess the patient first - calling the doctor right away usually isnt the best first step⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Question involves prioritization? Think airway, breathing, circulation, safety, and nursing process (ADPIE)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Nursing tests/NCLEX are NOT like real-world-nursing… don’t choose an option solely based on your experience in clincials⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Eliminate wrong answers - you increase your chances of selecting the correct answer by 25% every time you do so!
