I would say you will probably score however you scored on your tests in class. In fact, that's exactly how I did. It was lots of common sense and lots of if-you-paid-attention-in-class-you-should-know-this. There were a couple of people in my class that I just wasn't sure if they would make it or not. Somehow they did. Everyone did actually.

Good luck! You'll do great!

I thought the state exam was pretty easy. The questions were mostly commom sense. It doesn't focus on just one topic at a time, but rather a combination of all you have learned and applying it to real life situations. The questions can be tricky though. I found that some of the questions had four choices and two of them could have been the right answer. You have to pick the one that answers the question best with what you have learned. Good luck tomorrow.

I took the Kansas test last month. There are six different ones that you can be given. It wasn't bad. Make sure you know about the bladder and bowels other than that it was a lot of the same things you probably covered on class tests.

I'm glad you had an easy time with it. A lot of people have your reaction. They're like "Um so where's the real test that I've been racking my brain to prepare for?"

I though it was super easy, finished in the less than half the time allotted. It's mostly common sense, although some of the questions do try & 'trick' you, so pay close attention to the question & the answers. You're lucking you don't have any clinical testing, that's mostly where everyone seemed to have the most trouble.
