Instructions

  You should begin the preparations early. If you are not a fan of long hour study sessions, start preparing a year before the exams. There is no harm in registering early to avoid last minute registration hassles and issues. Do not choose a centre which is far from your home, however, if the nearest centre is at a distance too, do not travel long miles on the day of your exam.

  Start practising on free online tests to realise your strong and weak points. The test result will display which areas require the most improvement, it is best to work on those domains first. The test is designed in a way, that it does not only judge your ability to select the right answer, but it also gauges your understanding of the problem statement in relevance with the answer. Based on the results on the online tests, prepare a study plan with emphasis on your weak areas.

  You should prioritize your time in the test. If you cannot answer one question, there is no need fretting over it, and wasting time on it. You should go through the test briefly at the start before beginning to judge the difficulty level of the exam. It helps you in calculating the time required for the complete test. Keep remembering, that priority is the key to success in the nursing test as time is limited. So, work on those questions that are easiest to solve and takes the least amount of time first before moving on to the harder ones.

  In the case study scenarios, use your words carefully, it’s best to choose safe words in those situations. If you cannot answer a question, leave it as it is, do not try to guess the answer and write vague, incorrect stuff, as it will ruin your impression in front of the examiner.
