    I am finding the sample questions helpful. Not quite able to keep up with the chapter readings, so have not been commenting.  Hopefully I can get to that more often.  I have tried to read pages as possible while at school, but am not finding the spare moments.  Thank you for the tips.

    Hi! The shared comments are really helpful for the group! I will continue to look for practice questions and scenarios. Keep up the good work and pace yourself. Implementing test-taking strategies will be one of your keys to success.

    I AM excited to have found this group.  I was getting fairly frustrated not finding anyone locally who wanted to take this exam.  I live in a rural state with fewer school districts than many of you.  Thank You for the suggestions and the practice questions,  One thing I remember from my state boards was after reading the vignette,  the first question was almost always something like this:  In this situation your first nursing action should be:  can you guess how often one of the answers was "Look at the patient?"

    Just my observation from memory
