Matthew and Christina Rafano break down NCLEX strategy, covering select-all-that-apply questions, the new NGN format with partial credit, and how to use the nursing process and ABCs to pick the right answer. They explain why "call the doctor" is almost never correct and how to narrow options when you're unsure.

3, 2, 1. Welcome to the nursing school show. Hi guys. How is everyone doing this fine Monday, the Monday after springing forward. Right, right. How is that treating everyone? I am curious.
Probably not so good.
Probably not so good. For those just joining, that's Christina. Hello, I am Matthew and we are talking about nclex question tips today. Nclex, all things nclex. If you have any NCLEX questions comments, go ahead and pop them in the comments below.
Hi, Marfra Joes, nice to see you again.
Oh, hello.
I also want to note that the NCLEX question topic that we're going to talk about today. So I'm going to give you lots of tips for, for answering questions and collect style questions. But we got a really good Instagram comment about the HESI as well. Asking for HESI tips. Now, my friends on Instagram and YouTube, hesi and ati, this will work for you as well. So if you are in a HESI or an ATI program, do not fear, we've got you covered. Because nclex question, nclex style questions are nclex style questions. Like they're not, you know, it's just they're written the same way. So it's kind of fun. The nc, the ncsbn, the people, the powers that be that put out the nclex, that create the nclex, that put on the nclex. There's a very particular way of writing these types of questions and which makes it kind of nice because thankfully they follow a system and when they follow a system, like you can kind of figure out, okay, there's a pattern here. So you can figure out how to answer the questions, right, Even if you don't, like, you're not totally confident and like, yes, I know this answer. Maybe you don't, Maybe you don't 100% know what the correct answer is. But we can use some strategies and order to come to the correct answer. Does that make sense? Hi, Naomi. Nice to see you.
So if I get this right, there's really, I guess, kind of two parts to taking a test, right? It's knowing the knowledge behind the information to take the test and there's also knowing how to take a test. Right. And so there are some tips that even though you don't necessarily know the information, that will increase your chances of still doing well on the test.
Yes.
So there is that 100%.
I think that that's probably often overlooked too because in amp, right. Your prereqs, microbiology, A and P chemistry, biology, all the things for your prereqs. Content is the biggest thing. If you know the content, you're going to pass your exam. You know, if you know the. The types of blood cell or types of a blood. Types of blood cell or the parts of a blood cell, if you know those things, you can pass your, like, intro biology exam. Right. Obviously you have to know more than that. But you know, if you just know the content, you're going to do pretty well on your exam. But the thing is, when you get to nursing school, not only do you have to know the content, but you have to be able to apply it. And so that is what these NCLEX type questions test you on. They test you on your ability to apply the information that you know, apply the information that you learned critically. Think about it. We've all heard the phrase, right? Think like a nurse. We've all heard it. Think like a nurse. How many of you guys have taken a exam yet in nursing school? We actually had a lot of members join last week. Nursing SS members who have not started nursing school yet, but they start in like two months and on March. April. Yeah, like May, which is awesome.
And all on that note, hello to all the new members. We did just have a launch. That was last week. We told you guys about it if you were on your lives last week. It is now closed though. Enrollment is closed for now. But if you want to join the VIP list, go ahead and do that. Nursing schoolofsuccess.com join and you'll know when we open it again. So lots of new people, lots of new faces. So welcome to everyone that's on here that are new members.
Sorry, Instagram. I can wave at some people, but not at other people.
Christina really likes the whole wave function and the hearts flying up in Instagram.
Yeah. So if you're on Instagram, please send up those hearts because I really like to see them, like, fly. It's kind of.
She really does like that. So.
Yep. So it's really, really important that we not only know the content and understand the content, but we also need to understand how to actually take a test. Thank you, Instagram, for all.
There are your hearts.
Thanks for coming through for me. Always coming through for me. Oh, that's nice.
There we go.
Okay. Yes.
Hi.
Hello.
Hey.
Thanks for your video today. That was so nice of you. My. So many of our members actually sent me a video. It was very, very nice and I love all of you. It just makes my heart sing. Okay.
Seesaw. I narrowed down most questions to two answers on my Exam some. I straight up guessed.
Yes, yes, that's how sometimes. But here's the thing. When you can narrow it down to two choices, that's now a 50, 50 chance rather than a 25% chance if it's one in four. Right.
It's a good way to live life too. Just narrow it down as much as you can and just go for it.
Instagram, you are the light of my life right now. I love this. Thank you for all of the hearts.
You don't know where you're going. You just narrow it down to right or left and just choose a path and go.
You have to take steps. Right. We're always in action. Not in action, but we're always in action. There's a space there. All right, so let's talk about NCLEX test taking strategies.
Okay, before we do that, can we address Roslyn's comment here? Hi, guys. Everyone says that the HESI exit is harder than the nclex. I'm studying for the. I'm studying for the nclex. I'm trying to. I'm trying to read that with a question mark.
I am studying. So, Roslyn, are you taking the Hessie exit? Actually, because this is. This is part of the question that I think it was Amy over on Instagram asked this morning or this afternoon about the hussy that hussie is, you know. Oh, I passed the Hexi as a Hessie exit and I used your brother. Yay.
Congratulations.
So, yes, the HESI exit exam, like HESI in general, ATI in general. I'm familiar. I'm more familiar with those rather than like uworld and Kaplan. I know some schools use U World and. Or Kaplan, but here's what HESI and ATI do. Hasi and ATA are very, very good at prepping you to take the nclex. Is it harder? Personally, I thought so, yes. My school used hesi and I honestly thought that the HESI was harder than the nclex. So I passed the nclex. I thought it was quite a bit easier, to be honest with you, than the HESI exams that we took in nursing school that just make you want to cry.
It does kind of make sense because if they're prepping you for the nclex, then they're going to prep you really hard. And then when they, when you take the nclex, you're like, oh, that was easy.
Yes, it was. Like, when I left the nclex, it felt pretty good. Like that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. It was going to be, to be honest. So I really, that was just my personal experience with it. Of course, you know you can be thrown the craziest things on the nclex. Of course you can be throwing the craziest things on the Hessey. But what I always tell next to students, Roslyn, is that actually was just talking to somebody about this like two weeks ago that if you have done well in nursing school and especially if your nursing school is a HUSI or ATI program, you will do just fine on the nclex. I would not even worry about it. You know, study where your deficits are, where your knowledge deficits are. Right. So if you have a, like for me pharmacology and lab values I wanted to refresh before the nclex, you know, so figure out where your, your lowest scores are and the HESI will tell you. Right. Rosalind, you get that printout afterward that shows you like where your weaker areas are. Where your stronger areas are in like content wise and like thinking wise. So definitely check that out and then focus your studying on your weakest areas. That's exactly what I did before prepping for the nclex and honestly I took the NCLEX when I, when I took it I was 10 weeks postpartum. So we had just had a baby and I, my studying for the NCLEX encompassed doing practice questions on my phone while feeding a baby. So if I can do it, you can do it. Don't worry about it. It's gonna be great. I remember yeah, really like 3:00am, you know, just on the app, 3:00am feeding her baby and during practice questions just, you know. But honestly I did not think that the NCLEX was nearly as bad as the HESI exams were. Oh man, I gotta tell you. But some of our members have just rocked the Hussey. Like 900 scores, like high 900s.
That's really impressive coming from the non nurse.
Is that good? That's really impressive. I honestly think for my husi this is embarrassing. I honestly think I was like 6 or 700 when I took the exit hussey. I, I think I, if I remember it, I had to take it twice. I had to do the re. Yes. I had to do the retake for the exit hussey because I didn't pass the first time. So I think I got like a 600. Like I didn't, I didn't meet the threshold so I had to take it again. Some of her members, they totally knock me out of the park. It's Great. I love it. Well done.
Roslyn Lippincott.
Have you pass point? Is it pass point, Pass point, Lipping caught. I honestly, I don't think I've ever heard of that before. I want to write that down. Well, or we'll just go back to this.
Yeah, we'll just.
I will check that out because I actually. Does anyone else use pass point? Is it pass point or passport? Passport sounds more familiar. But pass point. Anyone else on Instagram use point, course point, pass something, point, something point. Anyone else? I've never heard of this. I have never heard of such a thing, so I cannot speak to it. I don't know. Is that a clinical thing, though? Or is it like the Hesi ati? Like, is it a test bank where it preps you for the nclex or and like a curriculum? Or is it the clinical aspect? Because a lot of our students use like Pearson View and my. There's so many. Actually, I think there's like 12 of them now. Like, with the whole everything, you know, you know, going virtual. All clinicals had to go online. So there's all those, like, clinical things.
Yeah. So nursing school, Jay's nursing school replaced the Hessey with passpoint. Okay. So something similar, I'm assuming.
Never heard of it either. Okay, Maybe it's brand new. I've never heard of it. They said that. Okay. Yeah, new root. We're gonna get to kind of answers about the NGN after. I will probably mention these things as we go. Okay, so let's talk about that first then. Select all that apply. How do we answer? Select all the pie questions. So, yes, Neeru, you are correct on the new NCLEX. The 20, 23 NCLEX, the select all that applies. They're going to be lots of them and they are. They're going to be larger, more. What is the proper word to describe 20 options for select all that apply 20 options. Okay. I think you're probably thinking about the grid.
Yeah. So the NGN has different kinds of questions.
Yeah, it has different kinds of questions that. Yes. Select all that apply questions. They're not going to have 20 options and like one select, like select traditional. Select a little play questions. But they are going to expand it. They're called what Expand? I think it is called, like expanded select all apply. Something like that. Where there are more options to choose. However, near me, I think you're talking about the. The grid where it's. It's like you can. There's like going to be three, two or three columns and you choose like things in each of the columns. So it's not, I guess it kind of technically is a select all apply, but it's not really a select all apply. We can talk more about the ng and we probably should talk more about it again. Just make it its own live video. Maybe we do that on Wednesday, you guys, let's do that. Because I can bring back. We'll, we'll. I'll bring back the. I had, I had some visuals to show you. I can do that. Yeah, we'll do that on Wednesday.
Okay, so Wednesday is ngn.
Yeah, let's talk more about it still.
Cracks me up when it's next generation nclex.
Yes. Ngn. So for select all that apply questions, don't freak out about it. It's going to be great. You might not feel like it's going to be great, but friends, you're going to pass the nclex. It's going to be fine. When you are answering, select LIPI questions, read the question and then read each individual answer and read the first answer and think about it as it relates to the question. Is it true or false? As it relates to the question. So read the question. Read the first answer and then is that answer true or false? As it relates to the question. Okay, if it's true, select it. Okay. Unless the question is like a negative thing, you know, or negative. What do you call that? Like a negative question? Question, a negative. So like, what would it, what would you not do?
Yeah, what would you not do?
What would you not do? You know? So I guess you're always looking for a true, you know. So read the question and then read the first answer. Is it true or false? So if it's true, select it. If it's false, don't select it. Then read the question again, move on to the second answer. Is it true or false? Okay, and then you're just going to repeat that the whole time. This will get you into the habit of not taking the answers as one, because this is where a lot of nursing students get tripped up, is that they consider answers to be as a group. And you do not want to think. You want to take each answer in a select all that apply on its own merit. Each answer, think of it, it's completely individual. It has nothing to do with any of the other answers. It's not related to the other answers at all. So you have to go one by one. Okay, Read the question. Read the first answer. Is it true or false as it relates to the question? If it's true, select it, move on to the second answer. True or false, does it relate to the question? And the third answer, does that make sense? You're always, you're backing, bouncing back and forth.
So really if there are like four options for this, select all that apply question, really think about it like four separate questions, not as just one question with four.
It's a great way to put options.
Think about it as four separate questions. So read the question and then see if the first option is true or false and then just keep doing that. So in essence you're doing it four times. You're, you're answering the question four times?
Yes, absolutely. 100% yes. Actually we have so many members on right now. Go into your dashboard, okay. The nursing membership community dashboard. And then under bonuses you will see a whole video with strategies for how to answer NCLEX questions. Okay, so you guys who are on, who are nursing SOS members, log into your dashboard. Definitely check out that video. It's also in the study system. So I've got it here actually where I'm going to pull some things from it. But it's also listed out on page 38. 39. Okay. It just keeps going. So 38 through 41. Yep. Of the nursing school study system. So four. Oops, I'm sorry. Four whole pages just whacked you. Four whole pages of studies, test taking strategies for the NCLEX and if you're.
A new member and have not yet, definitely go inside the membership, download the study system and use it.
It's free for you as members. It's in there for you. It is gold as you go through school. Like I am not giving you. It's great.
Blake passed my NCLEX last Monday. Congratulations. Awesome.
Do we have pharmacology videos? Of course we have pharmacology videos. We have many, many, many, many of the pharmacology videos inside the community. Okay, so that is select a little pile, right? What else do I want to talk about? What of these are we going to talk about? Okay, who's a mom? Anyone who's a mom? We always have moms here. So for, for answering nclex questions, the, the probably one of the number one principles you have to follow is that it is textbook. You are not. Everyone's saying, me, I'm a mom, I'm.
Mom.
Me, lots of hearts on Instagram. So I'm assuming we got moms. So moms out there, you have to answer nursing school questions as if it's the textbook answer. And for all of you moms out There. That means that any pediatric questions you get any even like, treatment ones where it's like, what would you do for this wound? And you're like, well, my child got this, you know, gaping wound. I tell him to rub some dirt on it and he'd be fine. You know, it's like we are going for textbook answers for the NCLEX answer for nursing school exams because that is what they're going to test you on. Textbook answers, textbook competency. So you have to check your brain at the door when you take an exam. Right. Do not think about your children. Do not think about your firstborn child when he walked at three months old. You know, do not, do not think about that. Don't bring it with you into the test because like, developmental milestones, vaccination, vaccination schedules, you know, all the, like, all the pediatric things. Do not think about your children. Okay. Do not think about your children staring at you.
So, yeah, and by checking your brain, not obviously, don't check your whole brain at the door. That might not be a good idea.
Check your experience.
Yeah, the experience. And yeah, your, again, your real world experience does not apply.
Yes, exactly. So that goes for moms. I always shout out moms because it's so easy to do on those pediatric exams. Like you're thinking, oh, well, yeah, my child was talking, you know, was saying full sentences at 12 months old. We're going for textbook. So, yes, don't bring like your kids to your exam with you in your brain. Also, this applies if you are a cna, if you are a tech, if you are a what have you at a hospital, you know, doesn't matter. Don't take your experience with you into an exam. It will not bode well for you. Okay. Nclex is world is a perfect world. Nclex world is a perfect, perfect, perfect world. You have unlimited time, you have unlimited resources in nclex and everything is textbook. Okay? So that's how you answer questions. You got to check your brain at the door. Any texts in here? Any CNAs in here? On our live tonight, who's a CNA, who's a LPN already, who is a pharmacy tech? You know, we have actually, I was just talking to a member, I think this morning or yesterday, who's completing pharmacy tech, which is so cool. We actually had a gal in our nursing program who was a pharmacy tech before going to nursing school. She rocked pharmacology, as you can imagine. So. Well, that's good.
She's a good farm tech. Yeah.
If you want. Yeah. That's true. If you want to head start nursing school, become a farm tech first. That is what I learned about that. Oh, pediatric LVN. Nice. LPN.
LPN.
Nice. We got two LPNs here. Oh, actually, by the way, CNA. CN. CNA.
CNA.
Love it. Yeah, I was a CNA before going to nurses. Bonchley was required. Was it required or did you just get like a more.
I think you got more points because back then it was. Yeah. Point based.
Really competitive. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You needed to have so many points to be competitive, so.
Yep. So yeah, that was kind of a requirement and hours too. So yeah, I worked for a while. Okay. Now, next thing that I want to say is never pass the buck.
Yeah, it's my favorite answer though.
Never pass the buck. If you can do something in that NCLEX question, you better do it. Do not call the doctor. Do not call the respiratory therapist. Do not call whoever. Whoever, whoever. Like, if there is something you can do in that NCLEX question, do it. Okay. So if there's something you can assess for, if there's a treatment you can do that's within your scope of practice, that would help, you know, do it. All right. Most likely it's going to be an assessment thing, but do not. How many of you guys have seen a nursing exam question where one of the answers is call the doctor? It is rarely, if ever, the right answer. Thank you. Assess.
I totally did not read that as assess.
That's why assess. But it's definitely assess assessment. It's very, very important because, well, rarely, rarely, rarely will the answer of call the doctor be the correct answer. It's not going to be the correct answer. So really think to yourself, what can I do? Is there something that I can do in this question before I call the doctor? Usually it's going to be something like you just said, assessment. Something that you can assess forward that the doctor would ask for anyway. So check that out. Make sure that when you're reading, you know, if you're reading a question and one of the answers is call the doctor, make sure that there's not an assessment that you can do that's in another answer or an intervention that you can do that's within your scope of practice, that would be helpful. Okay. And then kind of on that, in that train of thought, this is huge for answering NCLEX questions. There's a couple principles that you absolutely have to have top of mind every time you take a nursing school exam. Okay, Are you ready? The nursing process, the ABCs and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. So 3. Three principles you absolutely have to have at the top of your mind every time you take a nursing school exam. Okay, the nursing process, Maslow's Hierarchy, and the ABCs. All right, so the nursing process, just like you said, Naomi. So assessment always comes first. We always assess first. So in the nursing process, follow the nursing process. If the NCLEX question is asking you, what would be your initial response? What is your initial action as a nurse? What's your first action? You better be thinking, assess this patient. Okay? And if there's no answer in there that's assessed, then you move down the nursing process. Okay, what is the nursing process? Well, it's adpy, assessment, diagnosis, AD by planning, implementation and evaluation. Adpy, okay, so assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. So work down that line. If there's nothing, nothing for you to assess for, can you give a nursing diagnosis? Can you plan something? Is there an intervention you can do? Implementation of an intervention, or is there something to evaluate, which is basically just an assessment? So you walk down the nursing process. Okay, does that make sense? And then the next one is the abc. So airway, breathing and circulation. Is their airway clear? Are they breathing and is their blood circulating? So if you get a question that's like, what's your initial response? What's your first action going to be? You better be thinking, is their airway clear? If it's not, you got to fix that. Okay, their airways clear, Are they breathing? If they're not, you better fix that. Okay, if the airway is airways clear, their breathing, is their blood circulating. If not, what are you going to do? You're going to fix it. Okay, so airway, breathing and circulation, top priority. And then the next one, of course, is Maslow's. Maslow's hierarchy of needs. So we solve physiological needs first, which is basically the ABCs. So these two really play together. The ABCs and Maslow's hierarchy. So Maslow's hierarchy, we always start with physiological needs, then we go to safety needs, love and belonging. But self esteem and self actualization, I think that's the correct tier, right? Physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, self esteem and self actualization. Someone check me on that. I think I may have messed up the last two tiers.
No, that sounds great.
I think that might be right.
Yeah, self actualization is definitely the top. The top, the top of the top.
So, for example, actually, here's a good one. I just got this question, I think over on TikTok that I was gonna do A video on actually, because it's so good. Pain. When do we treat pain? Do we treat pain as a top priority if the patient's not breathing?
No.
So the NCLEX really, really likes to throw things like that at you. Let's say the patient's pain is a 9 out of 10. But then let's say there's a physiological need or there's a safety need. Your patients will die from physiological needs and safety needs. They will not die from pain. So this is something that the NCLEX really, really likes to throw at you because it is tricky. We're like, oh no, they're in pain, let's fix it. Pain is probably rarely going to be the correct answer. So I got that question on tick tock. So it's a good one. That's a good question. What was the other one I wanted to mention? So pain and then. Oh yeah, that's right. Mental health questions. Okay, so mental health answers, right? Choosing obviously if it's a mental health question, you want to choose the most therapeutic response. But if you get a question that's like what's your initial action? What's your first priority? What's the first thing you're going to do? And it's rarely going to be something up that hierarchy that mouses hierarchy like the love and belonging, the self esteem and self actualization. It's rarely going to be one of those three. So if you are answering a NCLEX style question and there's something physiological that you can solve or there's something safety that you can solve, you have to do that first.
Okay, which would you is first? Maslow or nursing process?
You know, honestly, it depends on the question. Let me think of a use case for it. So for example, like you and they do play together. So Christy, you could get a question that's like what are you going to assess for first? Like that's a nursing process question. Or like assess their breathing or you know, like it could be mixed. Like assess their. Assess their. Their safe. Whatever safety. Like the bed is lowered or something like that. You could just. But I would say, Christy, probably the better way to think about it is that they all are used together and, and with the ABCs. So Christy, the ABCs are I would say more important than Maslow's.
I'm going to check if they're breathing first.
Yes. Because. Yeah.
Or airway.
Yep. Because that those physiological needs in Maslow's that base first. Here is the ABCs. So ABCs in that Maslow's hierarchy, I Mean, I thinking of how many times on our exams do we get like safety questions? Sometimes, but most of the time they're going to be physiological things or things you have to fix or nursing intervention questions. So what's. Yeah, exactly. What's your first parent priority? And you walk down the nursing process as it relates to the ABCs and MILES hierarchy. I don't know if that's a really helpful answer for you, but they do, they, they play together. And it depends on the question. It depends. How often do we hear in nursing school that it depends? I know, that's so annoying. I'm sorry, Christy. That probably wasn't helpful. But yeah, kind of. Kind of the truth that they just, you know, it's like, well, like Nicole and I were talking last week. It's like spaghetti, you know, it's like female brains. That's what the NCLEX is. It's all spaghetti. They all mesh together, you know. So with the ABCs are always going to be top of mind. The nursing process always going to be top of mind. Okay. Does that make sense? I don't know if that was helpful. And then now that we mentioned the ABCs and the Maslow's, the physiological tier, you have to make sure that you are focusing on the most life threatening answer. Okay. When you take the NCLEX to take, you know, any nursing school exam, the answer most often will be whatever is most life threatening. Which plays, Christy, right into the ABCs, right into that physiological tier of Maslow's hierarchy. The most life threatening thing is what you want to address first. Does that make sense? So these are all just things that you guys are going to have to be thinking about as you take your exams, as you do your HESI and ATI practice exams. Oh, hello. Do you hear him over there? As you study for your nclex, you know, you've got to make sure that. Sorry. You've got to make sure that you're always thinking about these things. These are principles.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, he's gonna be fussy. I don't know if you guys hear him. Yeah. Yep. Oh, Adrianne, I would really like to talk to you about that. That's fine. If you don't like it, give me feedback. What do you want to see? Oh, glad she said it.
Actually was.
I'm glad that was helpful for you.
Good.
Adrian on Instagram, please DM me, please actually let me know what you want to see on the site. Yeah, that was the CNA stuff.
Awesome, Cool.
So like I said, you guys, the There are several principles that you have to just keep in mind as you are taking the NCLEX and your nursing school exams. And I, you know, these are strategies, like these are principles to follow. Okay, Right. Like Christy, the ABCs, malice hierarchy, the nursing process. Right, Those are principles. Those are, those are, I guess you could use them as strategies, but they are principles that we always follow as nurses. Right. And so you always have to be thinking about them altogether. And I actually, I really, actually kind of like how, how they all fit together because they do play well together. When you go take an exam, it's going to make sense as you walk through those steps. What are the steps of the nursing process? What are the steps of the ABCs? What are the steps of Maslow's? Does that make sense? All right, so the next thing I wanted to mention, just a reminder for our members, is that the study system is inside the membership community for you. So on page 38 to 41. So check it out. So members, we have a lot of you guys on members download. The nursing school study system is free for you inside the community on page 38 through 41 has a bunch of strategies for you to follow. Okay, that's going to help you so, so much. I also wanted to just touch on HESI and ATI real quick, just as where we started in this life is that these principles will help you with that as well. So whether or not you're taking the NCLEX or prepping for the nclex, whether or not you are taking the Hussy or the ATI or just a regular nursing school exam, these principles are going to help you select the correct answer, even if you don't really know what the correct answer is. It's pretty great, to be honest. He's good at opinions. He's got opinions. He thinks it's pretty great. So, yeah, I know you like these strategies too, huh? Yeah, super helpful. So, yeah, it's really, really about that. Following the principles will really help you select the correct answer or at least narrow it down. Naomi. Exactly like you said, at least narrow.
It down as much as you can and then take an educated.
Yes, yes, it is. You know, honestly, because you've got like four. Select all that apply. We'll have like five, Five, you know, five answers in one question. So if you can get it down to two answers, that's a better chance of getting the correct answer than it was if you had, you know, five answers and you're like, I don't know what, what is happening here? So it's gonna be fine. And I think the. What I also said at the beginning, if you're just joining us, I want you to know that if you have done well in nursing school up until this point, like, if you're passing nursing school, if you feel sorry.

It's like 15%. 15%, which is, you know, it's 15% that we wish wouldn't, but it's just 15%. So, you know, don't psych yourself out.
Don't psych yourself out or psych yourself up. Don't psych yourself out. Something like that. But yeah, yeah, just follow the strategies. Kind of cut down the options as much as possible. And if you don't know it, then, yeah, take an educated guess and move on.
Move on, move on.
That's the other thing is move on. Blake, I think earlier on this live just mentioned a tip of his tip was turning off the clock and question counter, which helped him with his anxiety. But definitely you do want to just keep going because you don't want to run out of time or. But I don't think that really happens anyway. So, yeah, just keep going. Yeah, keep going. Make sure you answer your questions.
