Increase Your Pass Rate Just by Making Exam Study 'Personal'!

Study methods that leverage the differences between exam preparation and clinical practice

Unlike clinical practice, the goal of exam preparation is to be able to answer questions correctly.

Because of this, it tends to become passive compared to learning from work or clinical rotations. Therefore, I will introduce study techniques that promote memory retention.

Study with a sense of realism

What if you imagined, 'I have to assist with a delivery tomorrow' or 'The child in front of me is in cardiopulmonary arrest'?

A sense of tension should run through you, and you will be able to grasp the knowledge as something personal. There is a big difference in memory retention between studying just to 'answer questions' and 'learning so you can actually handle the situation.'

Remembering your time as a new nurse

Do you remember the experience of being bombarded with questions by your seniors during your first year as a nurse before you were able to work independently?

You were asked 'Why?' and had to study desperately every day because you didn't want to get scolded.

At that time, knowledge was easier to retain precisely because you were learning with a sense of tension.

Having a realistic image

Especially for content that requires technical skills (e.g., delivery assistance), it is easier to understand by using videos rather than just reading the text in a textbook.

By using YouTube and other resources to learn with a realistic image, knowledge will be retained more deeply. Exam preparation also becomes more effective by not just memorizing, but by

learning while imagining the actual clinical setting. Please give it a try.
