For the VTNE I suggest in the final three weeks before your test, redo all those practice questions you've been working on in a timed test mode, that just means there's a clock ticking like the real test, you don't see the answers as you go. I'd probably give two thirds of your study time to doing practice tests and about one third to hitting the books. I might suggest you spend two thirds of your time on your first pass and one third or less on your second pass, that's just the final three weeks before the big test. This is also the time when you might make or study summary notes with pictures in them. That just means you take all the time you need to read the question, pick an answer, see if you got it right or wrong, read the explanation. In terms of VTNE, that means you're working your way through study mode practice questions. The first pass is when you are familiarizing yourself with the main information. When you're thinking about a big test like the VTNE, I want to encourage you to think in terms of a first pass and a second pass. Make it a habit, something you do a little bit at a time. One of the most fundamental ways you can help yourself is simply start with a calendar and map out a rough study plan week by week so that you can make your test prep part of your routine. I want to encourage you to study smarter. So, in the forest of knowledge, let this be your map. The goal is not to get every question right on your test. The real key to success is to study the big stuff, keep moving and learn enough. And we didn't study any of the big stuff, and then we floundered on test day. I think we've all had it happen where we spent an entire weekend studying every detail of some rare and uncommon problem. One day, a good hearted but nearsighted student wandered into the dog forest and got so engrossed studying a leaf on a single tree that she got lost and a big bad wolf called VTNE came and ate her. On that anesthesia tree might be a single leaf called isoflurane. One tree might be called radiology, and another called anesthesia. In the dog forest, there were many trees. One forest was called dogs and other cats and so on. Let's start with a story, once upon a time, there was a world called veterinary medicine covered in many forests. This is part of a four-part series, which includes the structure of the VTNE, today's topic of study strategies for big tests, part three is about how to be a savvy test taker, and part four is surprisingly easy tricks that anyone can do to be a more effective learner. We're going to discuss VTNE study strategy, how to hit the books. Hello, everyone, this is effective study strategies for VTNE, the veterinary technician national exam, my name is Dr.
