Study with a current textbook, such as "Wound Care Essentials: Practice Principles" by Sharon Baranoski and Elizabeth A. Ayello. Pay special attention to the types of wounds and types of materials used to care for wounds as you study.
Use a quality study guide, such as the "WCC Exam Secrets Study Guide." This study guide covers "specific content areas and skills that are critical for you to know on the WCC [would care certification] test," according to Mometrix Media LLC, publisher of the guide.
Use flashcards, such as the WONCNCB Exam Flashcard Study System, as another learning option. Use the flashcards for repetition of information that you find yourself struggling to remember.
Take a review course designed to assist you in preparing for the exam, such as the Wound Certification Course. Take thorough notes, especially about information that you are having trouble with.
Use note cards to make your own flashcards to supplement use of the textbook, study guide and ready-made flashcards. When making your flashcards, focus on areas that you are still struggling with that do not appear on your ready-made flashcards.
