A nursing student asks for suggestions for successful test preparation. Select the items that give the best advice. (Select all that apply.)
a. "Go to a movie or watch television the night before the test."
b. "Reread pertinent chapters in the textbook."
c. "Plan to study from 8 PM until 2 AM the night before the test."
d. "Focus on note summaries, margin writings, and underlined text."
e. "Clarify the examination format with the instructor."
ANS: D, E
Reviewing material identified as important is vital to success on the examination. Knowing the format for questions helps students focus on the types of answers they will need to formulate. Going to a movie or watching television the night before the test may interfere with memory during the examination. Rereading pertinent chapters in the textbook is counterproductive, because key concepts have been identified in notes, margin notes, and underlined sections. Cramming is a poor strategy, whereas getting a good night's sleep is helpful.
