I decided to do this second practice exam over pharmacology the day after completing the first one. I am trying to get work done when I have extra time to decrease my stress from assignments building up. If I would have waited longer, I could have done more practice to increase my score even more. I did get 2 more questions correct for this practice B, but I still have plenty of room to improve for the proctored assessment. I noticed similar issues with this test as the one I took yesterday. I am forgetting important side effects and warning signs with drugs. I need to keep practicing and reviewing, so I can see a drug and automatically come up with what needs to be monitored/what can go wrong.
For both A and B, I sat at my desk with limited interruptions to simulate a NCLEX testing environment. I also find it helpful to start the remediations soon after taking the test to keep the questions fresh in my mind. This makes it easier to come up with what I was thinking while answering certain questions to better remediate and learn. If I find time in my busy schedule to do practice quizzes for pharmacology, I would like to do that before the proctored assessment. I do feel better after remediating, but I want to continue to improve!
