Preparation Strategy: How to Cover the Syllabus Smartly
Given the exam date is fixed and the syllabus is broad, a smart plan helps.
Start with Strengths / Foundational Topics
Begin with Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Fundamentals of Nursing — these are foundational and often interconnected. Having a strong base here helps with many other topics.Make a Subject Schedule
Divide topics into daily or weekly slots. For example:Day 1–2: Anatomy & Physiology
Day 3: Microbiology & Fundamentals
Next few days: Maternal/Child Nursing, Community Health etc.
Use NCERT and Standard Textbooks
Standard textbooks for Nursing, Maternal Health, etc., plus NCERT for human biology can help to cover basics thoroughly.Mock Tests & Previous Question Papers
Try to get sample papers or previous years’ exam PDFs to understand the pattern (MCQs, difficulty, common mistakes). Time yourself. Review incorrect answers thoroughly.Revision Notes / One-Liners
Make concise notes for important topics like immunisation schedules, nursing procedures, emergency first-aid steps etc. One-liners help for quick recall just before exam.Focus on “Frequent / High Yield Topics”
Topics like Communicable diseases, community health programs, first aid, emergency care, maternal & child health, nursing ethics etc are frequently asked. Allocate extra time to them.Computer Skills & Current Trends
Though technical, computer education and professional trends are scoring if you prepare well. Keep updated on recent changes in nursing councils, computer tools used in health care etc.Time Management
As exam is objective type and possibly limited time (2 hours or similar), practice time-bound MCQs so that you do not lag in portions.
Sample Study Plan (approx 3 weeks before exam)
Here’s a suggested 3-week plan to ensure full coverage + revision.
| Week | What to Cover |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Units I & II: Anatomy/Physiology/Microbiology/Fundamentals + Medical & Surgical Nursing + Maternal/Child Health Nursing |
| Week 2 | Units III & IV: Community Health + Mental Health Nursing + Nutrition + Psychology / Sociology / First Aid |
| Week 3 | Units V: Nursing Education/Admin etc.; revision, mock tests, sample papers, weak areas, computer education topics |
| Last 2-3 days before exam: Light revision, one-liner review, relax, get enough rest. |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping small but important topics — e.g., computer education, professional ethics, research fundamentals. These sometimes carry marks and are easier to score if studied.
Neglecting MCQ practice / not timing oneself.
Memorizing without understanding — especially for physiology, disease pathophysiology etc.
Ignoring current/recent trends in nursing & public health (e.g. recent immunization schedules, health programs).
Not revising first aid protocols or emergency procedures, which often come up.
