Hey everyone! 👋
As a nursing tutor and long-time NCLEX coach, one of the most common questions I get is:
🧠 “How do I get better at answering NCLEX-style questions?”
We all know those questions can be tricky — prioritization, delegation, select-all-that-apply (SATA), and critical thinking scenarios can throw even the best students off track.
So I thought I’d start a discussion where we can share strategies, tools, and personal tricks that helped us or our students succeed.
Here are a few of mine to kick things off:
✅ Top NCLEX Prep Tips:
Practice with Rationales – Don’t just check the right answer. Read the rationale to understand why the others were wrong.
Follow the Nursing Process (ADPIE) – It often helps guide the best response.
Master Priority Words – Watch out for keywords like immediate, first, most important, etc.
Use Elimination Logic – Eliminate clearly wrong answers to improve odds even if you’re unsure.
Don’t Rush the SATA – Read each option like a True/False question.
💬 Your Turn:
What helps you when answering NCLEX-style questions?
Any apps, flashcards, or study resources you’d recommend?
Let’s help each other crush this exam! 💪💉📚
Looking forward to hearing your strategies!
