Top 5 Tips to Prepare for Exams

Student Tips

Don’t cram! Break down your material into manageable sections and create a weekly study schedule. Use color-coded notes, digital flashcards (like Quizlet), or printable checklists to stay organized.
Pay extra attention to: Class notes and instructor slides Key terms and NCLEX-style questions Clinical skills and procedures emphasized in labs Pro tip: Ask instructors what topics are most likely to be on the exam — they usually give hints!
Form a study group with classmates you trust. Teaching concepts to each other or doing mock quizzes together helps solidify your knowledge and boosts your confidence.
Your brain needs rest to retain information. Try the Pomodoro Technique (study 25 min, break 5 min), drink water, and get enough sleep. Cramming while exhausted does more harm than good.
