A nursing student is scheduled to take the first written exam in the nursing program and is experiencing test anxiety. What strategy should the nursing student implement to maximize the chances of being successful in this exam?
A) Take the written exam as quickly as possible in order to avoid "second guessing."
B) Focus on the most difficult questions before answering the easier questions.
C) Scan the entire exam to make some estimates about the time that each section will require.
D) Focus on guessing instinctively rather than focusing on the specifics of a question.
Ans: C
Feedback:
When taking a written exam, the student should begin by scanning the exam. It is advisable to do easy questions first to build confidence. The student should not aim for speed when writing an exam, and guessing is only an option when the student is unsure of the correct answer.
