Time management tips for a slow test taker with a packed schedule

I am in my last semester of nursing school, and one of my classes requires us to take 5 exams to help prepare us for the NCLEX. To pass the class, we have to meet benchmark on at least 2 of the 5. So far, we’ve taken 2, and I haven’t met benchmark on either.

I am a slow test taker, and between clinicals, regular exams, and homework, I’m struggling to find time to consistently practice questions. Does anyone have advice on how to improve test-taking speed or how to efficiently incorporate practice questions into an already packed schedule? I use Kaplan, if that's helpful to know.

Thank you!
