A group of nursing students have recently begun their nursing program and been introduced to the NCLEX-PNÆ. The students have decided to form a study group in preparation for the exam. What strategy should the students use to most effectively prepare for
A) Study throughout their nursing program
B) Begin studying as soon as their final exam is completed
C) Begin studying 10ñ14 days before the exam
D) Study after they have completed the classroom component of their nursing program
Ans: A
Feedback:
The most effective studying strategy for a large exam such as the NCLEX-PNÆ is to study frequently over a prolonged period of time, ideally at several points throughout the nursing program. Waiting until very late in the program, or until the program is complete, may not be conducive to success.
