When I was a student, I had a lot of trouble sitting down to study for the registry. I could study for individual tests, but the amount of information I needed to master for the registry was overwhelming. I had no idea where to start.
If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you’re not alone! One of the most common problems I see in students is they just don’t know where to start. They use online test banks and try to just answer the questions over and over- which isn’t an effective way to study.
Here are my top tips when studying for the registry:
Take a mock exam.
Put your phone away, keep distractions to a minimum, and simulate the registry conditions as best as you can. Do not worry about your overall score- this is simply a baseline.
This is going to do a few things:
It’s going to give you a benchmark of where you are right now.
You’re going to find the topics and areas where you are weak.
It’s going to give you a map of where to start.
After you’ve finished your mock- review it! If you missed a question go back to your books and look up the answers. DO NOT JUST RELY ON THE EXPLANATIONS IN THE SOFTWARE. I recommend:
Writing out or explaining to a classmate or friend why the WRONG answers are wrong. This is going to require you to really understand the concept.
Once you understand why the wrong answers are wrong- write out why the right answer is right.
Having a map and a goal when you’re studying is important! It will allow you to feel like you’re accomplishing something and it will make your study sessions more effective- so you’re working smarter- not harder.
If you are still struggling to make progress with your registry scores schedule a consultation with me! It’s free and I would love to talk with you about how I can help!
