Study Tips
- Allocate the most study hours to medical-surgical nursing
- Convert pharmacology into daily calculation drills rather than reading
- Use the 150-question format to plan a 72-second-per-question pace
- Revisit ethics and scope of practice — they are easy marks often skipped
- Finish each topic with a timed question set instead of a re-read
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Studying topics evenly instead of by exam weighting
- Skipping maternity and paediatrics because they feel less relevant
- Treating pharmacology as memorisation instead of calculation practice
- Not simulating the full 3-hour sitting before exam day
