After completing this RN Pharmacology Online Practice A I recognize the need to pace myself. This is due to the fact that after completing the review of the answers in which I had gotten incorrect, I recognized that many of these answers I should have gotten correct. Thus, I will devote more time to questions, attempt to recognize when I begin rushing myself, and either pause the examination or take a few deep breaths. In regard to my SMART goal which I had composed for post-graduation, I believe I am learning valuable information from these practice examinations and hope to apply these insights to my future study habits.
The hope is that by recognizing in what time periods/after how many questions I begin to rush myself I will be able to learn how to take a “breather” and regain focus upon these questions and what they are asking of me. Although I acknowledge that by devoting a quiet area to take this examination I achieved a better score, I recognize there are still areas in which I can improve. Thus, with these practice examinations, I am hopeful that I will continue to improve while preparing for the NCLEX.
