Tips to Help You Pass the NCLEX-RN
Take advantage of resources that provide practice test questions, study guides and flashcards. There are plenty of free online guides and sample questions – along with the correct answers.
Find a study buddy to help you prepare; someone from your college classes would be ideal. You can quiz each other with flashcards, study the rationales, focus on learning key phrases used in the exam, and practice using the nursing process to prioritize – all of which can help you choose the correct answers during the exam.
Check out NCLEX-RN® exam prep applications designed for mobile devices and tablets, so you can study wherever you go.
Find the study method that works for you. For some, it means locking yourself in a room for a week or two; others prefer to study in smaller chunks; still other candidates take advantage of every available minute to study, whether it’s on the bus, during work breaks or over morning coffee.
Try a variety of methods to determine what works best for you.
