Nursing Board Exam Tips 09: During the Actual Nursing Board Exam
November 28th, 2009 by Dianne Peña
Some of the “During the Board Exam tips” are already here. But I would like to share some more if you don’t mind. Hehe (If it’s not being the “Ms. Know-it-all” type)
- Be OC but not to the point that you consumed all your time. Refer to this.
- Listen to the instructions of the proctor. Error should not have a place on that day— exaggerating this part. Haha
- Ignore all the others who were already finished—making noise when standing up and passing their papers. As long as there is time, You can still continue. Don’t get distracted. Be focused.
- During breaks, spare yourself from comparing answers with your friends. It will definitely not bring you any good. I know it is very tempting but trust me, it will just heighten your anxiety at the middle of your exam.
- Attract positive energy. As the saying goes, you are what you think.
- Take a leak. Go to the bathroom before the exam starts because the proctor will not allow you once the exam already started.
- First day of the exam is from 8:00AM to 3:00PM and the second day is from 8:00AM to 12:00PM
- During breaks, its much better if you wont browse reviewers anymore. Just relax and prepare your mind for the next set of exam.
Lastly, DON’T FORGET TO BREATHE
but don’t hyperventilate. LOl!
