TESTING TIPS FOR NURSING SCHOOL | HOW I ACE MY EXAMS IN NURSING SCHOOL | Dominique Dooley

[@kabrantecolon]

Girlllll yes I do most of this preparing for a test! I do a test schedule for the week before the test and it actually helped a lot my first test was a 78 and I need an 80 to pass ...but after I started doing the test schedule and the tips you said, I got 80 then 88. My 4th exam is Monday after spring break and I will be using these tips! Thank you!

[@laurendavil4538]

Hey, if you don’t mind me asking what is your “test schedule for the week before the test” I’d really like to see it. 😊

[@kabrantecolon]

@@laurendavil4538 So I basically break up the different concepts into each day for a week. For example One day would be communication then the next would be infection then inflammation etc etc For each day I.. -Go over the PowerPoint -Go over the notecards for that concept -PICMONIC -KZbin the concept -Find practice tests or NCLEX questions on that subject -Go over notes That’s what I do and I have passed all my tests after I failed the first one...

What study technique did you use

[@maiahtarinhughes1748]

I'm in LPN school I failed my first exam because the questions were scenario-based and I don't know how to answer those type of questions. Thank you! Your video is going to help me

[@aideamaral1398]

Please show us your test day routine. This is so helpful for us all preparing or currently in Nursing School. I'm nervous I start May 4th😊

This video was super informative, thank you a lot sis!! I got no one in my family whom I could go to and ask about health care education, so watching you was like listening to an older sister guiding me to success. Thanks a lot!!

[@DominiqueDooley]

Always! I’m so glad I could help ❤️

[@bibirose7120]

Also, i checked on your amazon under the vodeo description, i didn't see the NCLEX Exam book. I really wanna see what it looks like so i can order the book

[@BiscayneBarbie]

Love your channel I’m also from Baltimore and attending PBSC… I will be using your study tips

[@Nurse-Up]

Thank you for recording this. Pic monic seems so helpful. I was accepted into the nursing program so just waiting for a start date. I will definitely look to purchase and utilize picmonic during nursing school.

[@bibirose7120]

Hello, I will start this August. Did picmonic help you?

[@nicholeknight1893]

I'm sharing this with everyone I know. Thanks ♥️ I love picmonics. It helps so much. I dream about the cartoon characters 🤣

[@DominiqueDooley]

Of course, I’m so glad I could help ❤️ & Picmonic is definitely the GOAT! I remember getting a heart sound question right bc of it lolll

[@autumncox1234]

You don’t even know how much I needed this!!! 💗 you are so appreciated! I also bought your concept map today, I can’t wait to utilize it!!!!

[@DominiqueDooley]

I’m so glad I could help! 💕 let me know how you like the map girly!

Can you do a ‘how to study video for the TEAS test?’ I take mine in May and I’m trying to find the best study tips and routine to pass.

[@DominiqueDooley]

Yes! 💕

[@slimjim1233]

@@DominiqueDooley thank you so much because I’m overwhelmed trying to get all this information in my head.

[@bibirose7120]

Hello, i will start nursing school this August. This picmonic seems like something i will definitely give a try, but is there any other app that would help me go through nursing school as well? Everything is new to me, and to be quite frankly, i am kinda anxious/scared a bit. I'll be taking Fundamentals of Nursing and Pharmacology this semester. I am scared of studying the wrong material, and that's my issue.

[@PMHNP101]

[@lateefahfarley1237]

I'm currently taking classes online. That's where i messed up on. Staying on one question too long. I'm currently having trouble trying to read the gradebook online. We have numbers like points(ex. 201.50/289.50) but i just need clarification on how to read and understand it.

[@DominiqueDooley]

When you see numbers like that in the grade book you have to divide the score you got by the total and then multiply it by 100 in order to get your grade. So given the example you provided: 201.50/289.50=0.696 then you multiply it by 100; so 0.696x100= 69.6% or 70% if your professor rounds. That’s your final grade 69.6%/70%! Hope this clarifies 💕

[@lateefahfarley1237]

Omg thank you thank you so much you are a life saver. I have emailed my instructors and ask the DON and nobody knew anything. All they could tell me was it look like im doing good. I really appreciate this so much.👍🙏 We have to maintain a 70% in order to move on to skills and clinicals.

[@tkay4733]

I plan on applying for nursing school this summer Thanks for this video ❤️

[@DominiqueDooley]

Best of luck with your admission into nursing school; keep us updated!! 💞

[@mistybluexxxxx3909]

How soon do you start doing the practice questions or should I say how many days prior to exam you do practice questions and how many a day is sufficient? Love your videos!!!

[@DominiqueDooley]

I start doing practice questions as soon as I’m finished with audios, my concept maps and reviewing KZbin videos. That way I’ve gone through all my resources then I practice applying my knowledge with the questions! 💕 this is typically 3-4 days prior to the exam. & on exam day I skim over them and my notes all over again!

[@swayzeeworld2642]

Great video. You always have great tips.

[@DominiqueDooley]

Thank you so much 💞

[@tammerry9496]

This is a great video. I want to know is it necessary to read a chapter from the textbook before lecture because in the past I would read the textbook and not be able to understand anything I read and end up failing.

[@lightskinbabe36]

Unfortunately my school instructors said that we’re not allowed to read out loud. Being that we don’t read out loud when taking our exams in a room of people

[@Itsjustebele]

you can probably mouth it, if that makes sense.

[@LondasBookClub]

Same here 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@DominiqueDooley]

Ugh that sucks 😩 Ebele joyyy had a good suggestion of mouthing the question instead of verbally reading it out loud; maybe that’ll help! Even when I was in the testing lab with other students I was able to say it out loud but very low, like suppppper low; I also love to follow along with my finger -like a true 1st grader lol
