Excelsior... Health Diff. 2 aka, NC 5

I feel your pain. Took LifeSpan #2 for the second time and went from an F (53%) to a D (61%). (At least there is some progress ) I have done the Excelsior practice exams, study group 101, L Arends, Minney's and the crappy College Network book and I still suck!!!!
I do not see where the questions asked on the exam are presented like the outline and the material. I wonder if the Excelsior people even look at the format the exam questions are presented in. This is my last exam before FCCA & CPNE and I just cannot find the right way to study for this one. The way the test questions are set up just do not jive with my brain. I am really off the beat with this exam. I have been down the defeated path in the past and need to get a new way of decode the material for LS #2.
Now I have to wait 120 days and decifer Psych and Endocrine on my own. I some people out there have passed on first time and even got A's. I need to find my groove in the next 120 days . Anyone in New Orleans LA area to study buddy with????????????

My suggestion to you is to go to Life Span 3 & Transitions, I go B's on both of them.

Have you ever heard of flashcards on the internet? I tried it for lifespan 2 and i passed last month. Sometimes it is so much material you can study till it seems like it all runs together. You can do this. You will do it. You have come too far.
