How to Organize Your Study Habits and Reduce Test Stress

CNA training requires considerable time and energy. The six (6) weeks of training including clinical skill, theoretical lectures, practical training and exams are one big challenge that each of the CNA aspirants must overcome. When it's over, they all breathe out a sigh of relief, only to realize all too soon that there is a looming and eminent date in our future - the CNA Certification Exam. The weight that was lifted on the last day of class creeps back on pound for pound and then some.

Everyone has different mentality when preparing themselves for the CNA certification exam. For instance, Person A has organized his or her study time by collecting appropriate study tools, and systematically outline the volume of knowledge he or she needs to internalize. Most likely, Person A would experience less stressful during CNA certification exam and would perform excellent during the test. Meanwhile, those students who study less or cram a few days would struggle on the actual exam and worst might even have to retake a portion of it.
