When taking the NCLEX, a key testing strategy is to identify and eliminate answer choices that essentially say the same thing; if multiple options convey a similar meaning, none of them are likely to be the correct answer, allowing you to narrow down your choices and focus on the most distinct option. 

Key points about this strategy:

Look for synonyms and rephrased ideas:

Pay close attention to words used in different answer choices, as the NCLEX might present the same concept with slightly different wording. 

Avoid redundancy:

If two answers seem to be saying the same thing, eliminate both as they are likely not the best choice. 

Focus on the most distinct option:

Once you've identified similar answers, concentrate on the answer choice that presents a unique approach or concept.
