Hi Tiffany,
The best advice I can share is that multiple-choice test-taking strategies are really helpful to learn and employ. There are some great resources available through our NBCSN website, here is the link: https://www.nbcsn.org/ncsn/the-exam/exam-prep/
Each week I will also share specific test-taking strategies that others have found helpful! The test looks at school nursing from a more national perspective, it is not state-specific, if that makes sense. I always encourage those who are taking the exam to read each question carefully and not add to what is being asked. Be sure you understand the question and don't rush through to an answer. That's what typically trips people up, me too! I also recommend completing the questions at the end of each chapter in the review book before you read the content. It will help you focus on where you may need to refresh and focus. We have had very positive responses from the review book that now includes rationale.
Thanks for checking in!

We will be opening the next online study group on Friday, January 12, 2024. The group continues for seven weeks, through the opening of the Spring test window. Please share with colleagues you know who may be planning on taking the NCSN exam in the Spring. The more engagement from the group, the more helpful the online study group is for those who participated. There is no sign-up, the only thing you need to do is check for each week's message. I publish them every Friday at 6:00 AM for seven consecutive weeks. I share a suggested study schedule and lots of great resources and test-taking strategies! Come and join us, the more discussion initiated by your input and questions, the better the experience and support.
I am looking forward to learning together!
