Hi Matthew,
Having recently passed the NHIE here is a response I gave to someone else More NHIE frustrations..
This is what I would add:
- If I recall correctly the exam results should have given you a breakdown of how many questions you answered correctly in each area of knowledge. Combine that with the results from your NACHI practice questions and take the courses related to the areas where you are weakest. This was the biggest help for me. Know where you are weak, and don’t just find and answer questions. Take the courses over and over until you understand the material.
- Flashcards (good for tests).
- The NACHI practice exam is good but it draws 120 questions from a larger pool of the same questions each time you take it. Google NHIE exam questions and take every free exam you can find to get a wider variety of questions.
- As much as I enjoy the NACHI site, go to other sites and find additional information on the different areas of study.
- Persistence.
HTH and GL!
