1.

 Exercise! 30 minutes of brisk walking 3x a week will do. Exercise

promotes circulation at the same time gives you energy to study for long
periods of time. You will be surprise on how much energy you will have if
you do regular exercise.

2. In your review session, I see people copying everything in the black board
and does not anymore pay attention to the lecturer, try to listen more to
what the lecturer has to say and just copy key points, remember you
already took this up at school, the lecturer are only trying to refresh your
mind. You will get lots of tips from your lecturer if you listen attentively that
you could not find in textbooks.

3. When you get home, try to review what you have written down at review
class.

4. Try to go over past board exam questions. Ex. Try to finish 300

questions weekly. It will improve your comprehension at the same time
familiarize yourself on how they struture their questions.

5. Have a study partner and take turn to discuss specific areas to be

reviewed (cardiovascular system, respiratory sytem, endo etc). As the
saying goes "Two heads are better than one". If you can't concentrate at
home because of distractions, try the coffee station, library or even go to the
beach to study.

6. Make your mnemonics. Post it all around you- in the bathroom, bedside

table, in your bag , in the car etc.

7. Focus more on Psychiatric, Maternal Nursing, Community Nursing

and Research. Drugs are rarely asked in the Nursing Board Exam. Try to
also go over some Nclex questions regarding
prioritization.Remember, questions in the exam are to test your
competence if you are qualified for an ENTRY LEVEL NURSE only.

8. Try to avoid fatty foods. Drink Vitamin B complex, it helps in blood

circulation and better memory.

9. Recommended books are Carl Balita textbooks, Community Health

Nursing, passed board exam questionnaires.

10. Think Positive! Love and pamper yourself because it will reep all

benefits in the end.

11. It helps if you can group together and ask each other questions. It
speeds up learning.

12. Decide on a study habit. Ex. 1 hour daily before you sleep.

13. If you are wondering, "What if i made a mistake shading the wrong box,
should i go ahead and erase it and shade the correct one?" What i did was, if
I know the correct answer and that I shaded the wrong box, i went off and
corrected my answer. BUT, you have to make sure to shade the back portion
also so that it will not create dent. Worked for me.

14. Pray! It can it really do wonders...
