Test Success: Test-Taking Techniques for Beginning Nursing Students (Davis's Q&A Success Series)

This was an optional book, but I would highly recommend this to all nursing students. By the end of first semester although we hadn't gone over all the material that is tested in this book, I was able to answer the questions based on the strategies taught in the earlier chapters of this book. I recommend going over this book before you begin your nursing program. It teaches you how to think like a nurse, how to pass nursing school exams, as well as prepares you to pass the NCLEX.

This book has helped so much!! I'm now landing 80's on my exams! It teaches you how to look at what is important on test questions & how to ignore distracters! Teaches you how to get your anxiety under control. Easy to read & encouraging with quotes from successful individuals. I recommend it! Great test taking strategies!

I found this to be helpful from the very first chapter. I was able to apply the ideas to the very next test I took in nursing school and have found it changed the way I view nursing school. It breaks it down to the various types of questions asked and how to approach them. It teaches you to brush aside the distracting and unnecessary aspects of the questions and teaches you to hone in on what really is essential. It even helps you break down the dreaded "select all that apply" questions. I highly recommend this book to any and all first year nursing students.

Are you looking for a book that always gets shuffled around and never read but have good intentions? How about a book is just heavy enough to flatten crinkled assignments when placed on top for a few hours? Then this magnificent waste of a tree and ink is the book for you! Look forward to the same old tips and tricks as every other test book and nursing blog site that exist. Also included for free; 40 or so questions that were also the same as the Davis Edge website Question Bank!I can hardly contain my excitement because repeating the same questions is so much better in different formats! Thought I was getting an inside scoop on how to understand these questions, instead i got duped. Bravo you misleading Amazon reviews, you got me. Good thing I opted to rent and can give this dust collector back.

The questions mainly ranged from insanely easy to extremely poorly worded. I couldn’t understand some of the ratiales and went against a few things we learned in class. Conflicting information in my opinion.

I have only looked through this book and read the introduction but I am already optimistic that this will be immeasurably beneficial for me. It has practical strategies and identifies some sources of anxiety, and ways to use positive self talk and other methods to not only reduce test anxiety but also bolster confidence. I’m looking forward to working through this.

good book for the very beginning of nursing school but I recommend the med surg success one over this!!!

Book is more of a tactic and strategy approach rather than a study guide. I'd recommend this book to all nursing students. Thanks

Helped me prepare for my tests and exams. Great rationales. Easy to understand. Already recommended it to all of my classmates.
