Ok I admit- I did ask this before but am still curious-

How did your scores on the practice exams relate to the actual exam scores? Were they way off? I have made 70s

so far on the Transititions Practice Exams and am soooo worried about failing the actual test.

So how did you guys do?? Thanks in advance!!

Wow I would say 70ish are pretty good practice exam scores. I have never gotten any 70s yet on them. Good luck on the transitions!! I think with that score, you'll get a B or A.

My scores on Lifespan 1 were 46/62, I was VERY surprised with the B I got.

Re: EC Practice Exams....

I just took the transitions practice exam also, and got a 71%. I hadn't even looked at the material in the fourth section of the content guide plus I still need to memorize a LOT, but now I feel like I know what I need to focus on. I took the Health Difference exam 2 weeks ago and got 70/72 on the exams and ended up with an "A", on Health Safety I got 72/82 and got a "B" so I never know how I'm going to do!!!

Good luck, when are you taking the exam? I'm taking it Wed!!

Hey Angel!! I felt like the 70 sucked to be honest. I guess I was a bit disappointed with it. I guess since I am an LPN (grad 3 yrs ago) I expected to do better.

Hey Meg!! (LOVE that name btw!) I have been briefly studying off and on for the transitions for about 3 weeks now. I took the form a practice exam 3 weeks ago before I started..... I was planning to schedule the test for mon nov 2, but I am thinking of moving it up to this fri or next week. I just have no idea if I am ready....but I know I am ready to get through the courses and graduate!! Ya know? I have not decided yet. The idea of failing is sooo bothersome!!! Thanks for the good vibes!

I took the EC practice exam for my gerontology test. Didn't think it was helpful. The real test was tougher. I managed to pass that course. Good Luck with your exams

Re: EC Practice Exams....

UPDATE!!!

Ok so I JUST took Form B and made a 66....??? I have NOOO idea if I am ready to test or not! Maybe I should give it another week!!!

Re: EC Practice Exams....

Oh man, is the second practice exam really tough?? I'm studying for the exam now and taking it Wed ready or not!! If I were you I would look at the areas you didn't do well on and just focus on them. I'm finding there are some tricky questions, it's so annoying! I think i have the famous nurses memorized, just have to get the theory's and papers down. Hoping to take Form B tomorrow sometime so I'll let you know how I do
