Hi Braylon. If you want to get better test scores, you need to develop good study habits. You should study a little every day instead of waiting until the night before the test. Studying a little at a time helps you remember information better and lowers stress.

Another important tip is active learning. Don't just read your notes, try to explain the ideas in your own words or teach them to someone else. Writing summaries or making flashcards can help you memorize important terms, like medical words for nursing. Doing practice questions is also very helpful. Many textbooks and websites have questions that are similar to real exams. Practicing these questions helps you understand the format and makes you more confident.

Organizing your study materials can also make a big difference. You should keep your notes, textbooks, and assignments in order so you can find what you need quickly. Also, use highlighters, sticky notes, or digital apps to mark important concepts.

Additionally, creating charts, diagrams, or concept maps can help you see connections between ideas, which is very helpful for understanding complex topics.

Martha’s Answer

Hi Braylon - this is a terrific question relevant to many professions. I have dropped a link below to some tips from a credible source, most of which are common sense.

In addition, research has shown that giving your brain time to transfer information into long-term memory is good - hence, no cramming. Plus, using the information, such as explaining it to someone else is helpful for remembering; it also helps you determine what part you remember and what part, if any, needs reminding.

Wishing you good luck - we need more nurses in this country!
