Smart Approaches to Exam Questions

Test-taking is a skill you can improve! To succeed on the NCLEX-PN:

• Read each question carefully and identify keywords
• Eliminate obviously wrong answers
• Watch for words like "first," "best," or "priority"
• Trust your first instincts unless you find clear evidence to change your answer
• Don’t spend too much time on one question—move on and return if needed

Practicing these strategies helps you stay calm and confident on test day.
