Private In-Home and Online NCLEX Tutoring in Chicago, IL
Receive personally tailored NCLEX lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.
If you're interested in working with professional Chicago NCLEX tutors but aren't sure how to get started, Varsity Tutors can refer you to a knowledgeable private instructor in as little as 24 hours. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN) offers two different standardized tests: the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). All nursing candidates in the United States must pass one of these exams in order to work as a nurse in the United States, so your test prep is key. Keep reading to learn more about how a Chicago NCLEX tutor might be able to help you.
What are the advantages of working with Chicago NCLEX tutors?
A private instructor allows you to progress at your own pace. If you already understand the foundational biological and chemical concepts that go into nursing, your instructor can skim over them in favor of something you need more assistance with. Alternatively, your instructor can provide additional explanations and examples to help you understand challenging concepts.
Since you are your Chicago NCLEX tutor's only student during your study sessions, all of your work receives prompt feedback so that you can correct any mistakes while the material remains fresh in your mind. Similarly, any questions you have can be answered before a misunderstanding spirals out of control. In fact, many students find it easier to ask for help in a one-on-one setting than in a crowded classroom environment.
Your instructor can also design Chicago NCLEX tutoring sessions around your unique learning style to improve your study efficiency. For example, a visual learner can study medical terminology through flashcards, while an auditory student could benefit more from hearing words used in their proper context. Your instructor can also provide practice problems to reinforce any specific skills you need more help with. There is no universal method of preparing for standardized exams, so why not work with your preferred learning style instead of against it?
What content areas can a Chicago NCLEX tutor near me go over?
The NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams are different tests, but there is a lot of content overlap between them. As such, you can expect to review concepts such as Basic Patient Care and Comfort, Reducing Risk Potential, and Pharmacological Therapies no matter which exam you're studying for. Your instructor can also cover the few test-specific concepts on each exam. For instance, a candidate preparing for the NCLEX-RN can review Parenteral Therapies, while one studying for the NCLEX-PN should review Coordinated Care instead.
In addition, candidates are expected to be able to apply academic knowledge drawn from the social, biological, and physical sciences in real-world scenarios. If you struggle to apply textbook learning to the practical aspects of the job, your instructor can help you bridge the gap. You also need to be able to read medical charts and graphs on test day. If you have a hard time working with these tools, your instructor can teach you how to interpret data at a glance. Finally, your instructor can review active reading techniques with you to make it easier to decipher complex nursing journal articles.
Can I study test-taking strategies during Chicago NCLEX tutoring sessions?
The NCLEX-RN contains anywhere from 75-265 questions over a six-hour testing session, while the NCLEX-PN has 85-205 items over five hours. Both are long exams, so time management is important. Your instructor can teach you how to identify when you're spending too long on a particular item to make it easier to finish on time.
Likewise, NCLEX questions can appear in multiple-choice, multiple-response, fill-in-the-blank calculation, and ordered response formats. For multiple-choice and multiple-response items, your instructor can show you how to rule out some of the wrong answers to make any guesses more effective. You can also review how the exam presents important keywords such as "not" and "except" to make sure that you're answering an item as intended.
Both NCLEX exams utilize Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT), an exam structure in which the computer selects your next item based on how you've fared on the ones before it. This format can be intimidating, as it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to figure out how you're doing mid-test as opposed to focusing on the item in front of you. Your Chicago NCLEX tutor can teach you concentration strategies to help you avoid this pitfall, making it easier to do your best on exam day.
You can also take practice exams under realistic test-taking conditions during Chicago NCLEX tutoring sessions to get a sense of what the exam will feel like. Experiencing its electronic interface firsthand could go a long way toward alleviating any test anxiety you may be experiencing. Similarly, working under the time constraints of the actual test can be a great way to learn how to manage your time. Perhaps most importantly, you can review your practice exam with your instructor to get an idea of where you're improving and anywhere you might be able to improve in the future.
How can I connect with a Chicago NCLEX tutor near me?
We understand how busy you are, so we do our best to match every customer with a private instructor who can accommodate their scheduling needs. Online sessions also add an extra layer of flexibility to your test prep.
