I was a little nervous going into this exam after having taken the adaptive pharm exam and struggling. That being said this exam went a lot better for me than I was originally expecting. I like the format of these practice test more than the adaptive ones because it feels more similar to what we are used to. There isn’t the unknown of when is this test going to end. We know it has 60 questions and that once we reach that number we are done. This might be something that makes it easier to get through but in reality, it isn’t as similar to the formatting of the NCLEX where we really do not know when the test will shut off and how many questions we will have. All the formatting stuff aside, I was pleasantly surprised with how this exam went. I had really struggled with the content on the adaptive quiz but with this one, I felt more confident with the content and my test-taking strategy. Throughout the time taking this exam, I saw an improvement in my ability to understand the wording of the question and eliminate answers even if I am not sure of the answer. I also have learned to take the exams when I have free time and am not overwhelmed instead of around the time it is due. By allowing myself to be in a better mindset and focus fully on the exams I was able to do a lot better and dedicate my full attention to what I am doing. Although these practice exams are not the same format as the adaptive ones, I like the way it allows for less frustration and focuses on the logistics of the test, and rather be able to focus on the content being presented.
