Strategies for
success
Study preparations
If youre like most people preparing to take
the NCLEX, youre probably feeling nervous, anxious, or concerned. Keep in mind
that most test takers pass the first time
around.
Passing the test wont happen by accident,
though; youll need to prepare carefully
and efficiently. To help jump-start your
preparations:
determine your strengths and weaknesses
create a study schedule
set realistic goals
find an effective study space
think positively
start studying sooner rather than later.
Make a list
Base those decisions on a list. Divide a sheet
of paper in half vertically. On one side, list
topics you think you know well. On the other
side, list topics you feel less secure about.
Pay no attention if one side is longer than the
other. When youre done studying, youll feel
strong in every area.
