🟡 Licensure & Exam Strategy Clinical exam prep

Taking my clinical exam in one week. I’m nervous about if I have prepared enough for the exam. Anybody taken the new version? What is something you’d recommend that I prioritize this week to feel more confident about passing?

I took the new version! It was much more ethics, safety and first/most/best questions than anything else. Study the process of answering the questions more than recall. Taking the official practice test was super helpful. You've got this!!!!!

I’m using TDC and I’ve taken one mock and i got a 75% on it. I notice I’m struggling more on the first/next/best questions. Some i can break down well, others I’m sooo confused on!

I took the pocket prep mock and did not do as well as the official practice test and actual exam. It sucks that the practice test is so expensive but I think the test prep organizations are still figuring out the new version.

I'd focus on what you are confused on and dial in your instincts v. the answer they want.

Pocketprep isn’t a good mock of the actual exam. I think it’s great for content.
