Which action would help a student successfully prepare for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®) examination?
a. Make note cards that can easily be retrieved to list only facts.
b. Avoid timing oneself while studying and when in the actual testing mode to decrease anxiety.
c. Ask peers for help because they had the same resources; especially seek their help for difficult concepts requiring critical thinking.
d. Practice taking NCLEX-RN® exam–type questions and reviewing rationales for correct and incorrect answers.
ANS: D
Correct: Practicing helps the student learn how questions are presented and what level of difficulty should be anticipated. Reviewing rationales for the answers is a teaching/learning opportunity that enables the student to judge whether the rationale used to answer the question is valid.
Incorrect:
a. Students should focus on concepts rather than on isolated facts.
b. Because the NCLEX-RN® exam is a timed examination, it is possible for a candidate to run out of time before demonstrating competency. Timing oneself during practice will reveal whether the candidate is spending too much time on questions.
c. Faculty members or the facilitator of formal review courses are the best resource for difficult concepts requiring critical thinking. Peers may not understand the material as well as they think they do.
