It\u2019s wonderful when professors provide resources to help you succeed, improve your critical thinking and practice for the NCLEX, and\u00a0Sherpath\u00a0does all of those things for me!\u00a0Sherpath\u00a0has so\u00a0many\u00a0different\u00a0aspects\u00a0to help you study and practice NCLEX style questions. From the lessons to EAQ<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0(Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing), you will be well on your way to passing the\u00a0NCLEX\u00a0and doing super well on your nursing tests if you take full advantage of everything\u00a0Sherpath\u00a0has to offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use&nbsp;Sherpath&nbsp;to study for tests&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing practice questions is such a great way to study for tests because it allows you to get acquainted with the different styles of nursing questions. Whether it is knowledge recall, select all that apply, or application\/analysis,\u00a0Sherpath\u00a0has every kind of question to prepare you for nursing tests and the NCLEX!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Understanding and learning concepts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you take quizzes,&nbsp;Sherpath&nbsp;has lessons for each chapter that reviews key concepts in the chapters of your textbooks and breaks it down for you to better understand the material. Along the way it tests your knowledge to make sure you are retaining the information and understand&nbsp;what&nbsp;you are learning. Taking notes on the lessons is super beneficial because it helps you retain key concepts and have them on paper to help you review and study later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my classes, the weekly&nbsp;Sherpath&nbsp;quizzes are graded, so we get an extra 100 points towards our grade. When professors give you&nbsp;the opportunity to earn additional (I edited it because I didn\u2019t want the connotation that the quizzes are easy)&nbsp;points to boost your grade, it is so important to take complete advantage of that! Not only do those quizzes prepare you for the tests,&nbsp;those points will&nbsp;raise your grade and give you an extra cushion if you lost a lot of points on your tests.&nbsp;Do not solely rely on those&nbsp;Sherpath&nbsp;points,&nbsp;but&nbsp;use them as a nice cushion if you fall once or twice. Study hard, prepare&nbsp;yourself, manage your time well, and you&nbsp;will&nbsp;do amazing!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation for the NCLEX begins the moment you start nursing school, and&nbsp;Sherpath&nbsp;is a great resource to study for your classes and to prepare for the NCLEX!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best parts of being an Elsevier Student Life Ambassador, is when it\u00a0crosses over into my schoolwork and the resources\u00a0that\u00a0I use throughout nursing school.\u00a0This year, my professors have added\u00a0Sherpath\u00a0into the curriculum for Pharmacology and Medical Surgical Nursing.
