Successful test performance requires nursing knowledge, anxiety management, and test-taking skills. Knowledge of the test content is the first critical element. The second element of success is anxiety management, and test-taking skills are the final element. Confidence will help as it demonstrates readiness to test, but it is not one of the three critical elements. Graduates need critical-thinking skills, not memorization to be successful.
