per multiple choice question Cover up the options Understand what destructors are Eliminate options ( 100%) Recheck the match between the stem and the
option

During the Test Scan the entire test – get familiar Read the directions slowly Mark on the test if you are able Highlight Key words – Always, 1st priority Try to answer the question before looking at the
options Concentrate on one question at a time No carry over! Don’t change your answers

During the Test Answer all of the questions When in doubt pick the most complete answer Eliminate wrong answers Select answers within the realm of nursing Don’t waste too much time on any one question.
