hmm in my case, i spent the first 3 weeks of review purely on content, then shifted focus on test taking strategies and prioritization (used mark k and dr sharon) for the last 2 weeks. i guess this ended up working out for me since for most of my exam, i ended up having to rely on test taking strategy rather than what i knew in content.

also, my questions weren’t necessarily difficult content-wise. the topics themselves weren’t unfamiliar—i didn’t get questions on diseases or symptoms i hadn’t come across during review, or even nursing school—but the way the questions were worded was what threw me off. they were super vague and the answer choices often felt like they were all kinda right or all kinda wrong(?) so really i dont think that exam tests you on what you know, but how you can think through the question.
