1. SEMINAR IN NURSING 2

2. TEST TAKING STRATEGIES PART 2

3. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

4. MULTIPLE RESPONSE QUESTION (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)

5. - you will be asked to select or check all the options, such as nursing interventions, signs and symptoms, etc., that relate to the information in the question. You need to do exactly as the question asks, which is to select all the options that apply. SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

6. TIPS: Go straight down the list, and respond with “yes” or “no,” “applies,” or “doesn’t apply.” Pay attention to every detail of the option like frequency ( od , bid, q4 hrs., q2hrs.,q shift, etc.; length of time (2-3 days, 4-6 months); and absolutes or extremes (at all times, complete restriction). If you cannot recall the information and/or it does not make sense, it’s probably wrong. +Spend the time to 1st understand what the question is asking by identifying topic & stem (what does the topic want you to illustrate). Extract Topic & Stem: Do not overthink and go back to change your answer. 2.Attack One-by-One: 3. No Take Backs:

7. TIPS: All of these tips will not work if you do not make it a habit to do so; so take those exams, especially the ones that have a lot of SATA questions. Confront your fear head on! Knowing what is ahead makes all the difference in minimizing your anxiety as they approach you. 4. Prepare Mentally: 5.Practice, practice, practice!:
