Thank you again for your private message, to which I responded this time, but remember that PMs are not for questions and answers.

You have 6 kids and you are wondering how to pass a test covering 1 chapter.

You also say that you are currently a CNA going back to nursing school. I will tell you that nursing school is brutal. Many tests cover 25+ chapters and you must learn all 25+ in two weeks. That does not include time in class (usually two days a week) and 12 hours in a clinical setting (one day a week). That leaves very little time to study, let alone tend to 6 kids.

My next test on December 10 only covers 16 chapters, so I get a bit of a break this time. However I have a comprehensive exam, over the whole semester, just a short 48 hours later and have to study more than 50+ chapters for that.

Now, I am in no way trying to dissuade you from nursing school, but rather show you how brutal it can actually be. It's not for the meek, that's for sure. LOL

Questions and answers are to stay on the board. As a SuperModerator, I have to adhere to the rules of the site.

I have read all of the posts and was impressed with the helpfulness of so many people. However, after a 35 year career in education my ears perk up when I hear someone will take a test and have no idea what will be on the test. This isn't how education works. You may not know the exact questions but you are being tested on the material that was taught to you. Your best resource is the text provided and the notes and materials from your classes. Nursing school does sound quite difficult but the tests still ccover what was taught.

To the above person ballen I read all my chapters thank you very much . I don't need anyone to critize me. I ask a question because I needed to know different methods.

[J_9]

Then you know pretty much what will be on the test. There is really no way to tell what will or will not be on the test. Most instructors pull their test questions from a test bank. If you have read your chapters and feel comfortable with the content, then just study and memorize.

Do you know what eucaryotic cells are? Procaryotic?

Unfortunately you haven't said exactly what you are studying or I could ask you some questions. If you tell me, in detail, what you have been studying, I might be able to help you study. But one sentence answers don't really help me.

Right now I'm working on the different tissues which are epitheial,muscle,membranes.nervous and connectives. And the different functions. Within the epithelial there are 3 basics squamos,cubodial and columnar.

[J_9]

Okay, great, we are getting somewhere, what don't you understand? Look at the names for instance. Cuboidal, what would you think it would look like under a microscope? Columnar?

[starcrush]

Cells that have a cube like appearance. It not that I don't know this stuff it just sometimes when it come to test. I panic or anxiety takes over me.

thanks

I would recommend that you first know the test name (i.e.--GRE) then you Google it and start from there. Book stores like Barnes and Noble or Borders usually have good study books too.

The test is for an Anatomy and Physiology class. Nothing like the GRE, TOFEL, or NCLEX. This is a totally different kind of test of which there are most likely no study guides at the libraries for tests like this.

Here's a site with practice multiple-choice questions:

Anatomy and Physiology Practice Questions

There are other sites. Just Google "anatomy and physiology practice questions" or "anatomy and physiology sample test" (without quote marks) for more.

[starcrush]

Thanks wondergirl. j9 I doubt they have any study guides or material online relating to things pertaining to the subject labor.Hmm that's a hard one.

When is your test going to happen? Do you have any problems with reading that might make it more of a challenge for you to studying the reading materials in order to prepare for a test?

[starcrush]

My next test is on Tuesday. I got a b on the other one. I just want to make sure I do good all the time

[J_9]

Congrats on the B!! What's your next test on? I have one Monday, wish me luck, it's going to be hard.

Good luck to you on your next one. Whew, the semester is almost over and we can take a break!!

[starcrush]

Thank you. The next test is on Cells our teacher seems like, she loves to skip around the book but that's OK. My test is on Tuesday. Im sure all will go well. Good luck on your test .I know all will go great J_9.

Remember what you learn in A&P, although it seems minimal now, it will all come back to you in nursing school.

Have you taken microbiology yet?
