a. cramming difficult concepts the night before the examination.
b. rereading each textbook used in the program of study.
c. going to a party the evening before the test.
d. reviewing content summaries and focusing on identified areas of weakness.
ANS: D
Identifying areas of weakness and undertaking a systematic study program is a good strategy for preparing for the NCLEX-PN examination. Cramming is rarely effective. Rereading all texts is time-consuming and lacks focus. Relaxing is a good idea, but partying may lead to fatigue and lack of clarity in thinking the next day.
